昨天接到操作系統(tǒng)課程設(shè)計(jì)題目,是用信號(hào)量同步進(jìn)程(線程)的,由于要用到Windows API ,好幾個(gè)同學(xué)問我API是干什么的,由于大家都沒接觸過,不知怎么用,所以我就以課設(shè)題目為例,給大家介紹一下API的一些基本知識(shí)。但請您注意,本文旨在介紹API使用,而不是給您提供現(xiàn)成的代碼讓您直接復(fù)制到課程設(shè)計(jì)報(bào)告中去,您應(yīng)該只把這做為一份參考,然后寫出自己的代碼。好了,我們從最基本的講起,首先看題目:
Linux或Windows或Unix環(huán)境下,采用系統(tǒng)調(diào)用中的信號(hào)量、P、V操作,編程解決以問題。讀者與寫者問題。一個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)集為多個(gè)并發(fā)進(jìn)程所共享,其中一些進(jìn)程只要求讀該數(shù)據(jù)集的內(nèi)容,這些進(jìn)程稱為“讀者”,而另一些進(jìn)程則要求修改該數(shù)據(jù)集的內(nèi)容,這些進(jìn)程稱為“寫者”。具體要求是:允許多個(gè)讀者同時(shí)讀該數(shù)據(jù)集的內(nèi)容;若有一個(gè)寫者在寫,則其他讀者不能讀;若一個(gè)寫者在寫或有其他讀者在讀,則其他寫者均被拒絕;當(dāng)一個(gè)寫者正在寫,而有多個(gè)讀者與寫者在等待時(shí),寫者應(yīng)優(yōu)先喚醒。請用P、V操作寫出進(jìn)程的同步算法。要求打印:初始狀態(tài),中間變化的狀態(tài)信息,以及最終狀態(tài)信息。
我以Windows做為示例,考慮到大家并非都懂C++,故代碼用C寫。分析:
1.理想狀態(tài):我們程序中完全和作業(yè)中的方式一樣,比如定義信號(hào)量用 semaphore mutex; P操作就直接P(mutex),V操作就直接V(mutex),盡量避免直接使用API。
好的,我們首先實(shí)現(xiàn)這兩種功能。由于筆者平時(shí)開發(fā)習(xí)慣,都會(huì)在特定的工程中的函數(shù)、數(shù)據(jù)類型加上工程標(biāo)志,這個(gè)項(xiàng)目是Operating system Course Design,我就取OSCD,做為函數(shù)和數(shù)據(jù)類型前綴。所以上面的semaphore mutex;定義信號(hào)量的方式就變?yōu)镺SCD_semaphore mutex(只是換了個(gè)衣服而已)。下面介紹第一個(gè)API函數(shù)(為了先避免字符編碼的問題,看我這個(gè)不要對(duì)函數(shù)名后的A太過在意,以后接觸Windows編程后,你自然就懂了):
HANDLE CreateSemaphoreA(LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSemaphoreAttributes,LONG lInitialCount,LONG lMaximumCount,LPCSTR lpName );首先看一下這個(gè)中的數(shù)據(jù)類型;其實(shí) LONG 就是typedef long LONG; LPCSTR 就是char * (字符串的指針),LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES 和HANDLE目前不是一兩句話能將清楚的,LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES 可以先直接忽略掉,你可以把HANDLE 理解為操作信號(hào)的“手柄”,也可以先理解為指向信號(hào)量的類型,以后我們對(duì)信號(hào)量的操作就是通過它來完成的,在直接一點(diǎn),我們就可以把它就當(dāng)作是信號(hào)量,其中l(wèi)InitialCount就好比我們作業(yè)里mutex.value,中的value,我們需要在調(diào)用這個(gè)函數(shù)時(shí)給它賦初值,lMaximumCount是指定信號(hào)量的最大值,本例中我們?nèi)?0,最后一個(gè)參數(shù)lpName 課設(shè)用不到,直接傳NULL。回過頭來看看這個(gè)函數(shù)實(shí)現(xiàn)的功能:創(chuàng)建一個(gè)信號(hào)量并返回,在創(chuàng)建信號(hào)量時(shí)我們必須對(duì)信號(hào)量賦初值。也就是說我們真正用到的參數(shù)只有一個(gè)lInitialCount,下面我們對(duì)其封裝;
typedef HANDLE OSCD_semaphore //這樣以后就可以直接這樣 OSCD_semaphore mutex;定義信號(hào)量了;
#define MAX_SEM_COUNT 10 //信號(hào)量最大值我們?nèi)?0
OSCD_semaphore OSCD_CreateSemaphore(int nInitialCount) //參數(shù)是初值,返回的是信號(hào)量。
{
OSCD_semaphore hSemaphore;
if (nInitialCount>MAX_SEM_COUNT){ //
printf("semaphore count too big ,please specify a value range 0 to 10\n");
exit(0);
}
hSemaphore=::CreateSemaphoreA(NULL,nInitialCount,MAX_SEM_COUNT,NULL );//真正創(chuàng)建信號(hào)量
if (hSemaphore == NULL) {
printf("CreateSemaphore error: %d\n", GetLastError());
exit(0);
}
return hSemaphore;
}
拿本例中的 mutex 為例;我們只需要這么初始化它:OSCD_semaphore mutex;//定義mutex, mutex= OSCD_CreateSemaphore(1);//初始化;下面是刪除信號(hào)量的函數(shù):
void OSCD_DelSemaphore( OSCD_semaphore semaphore)
{
::CloseHandle(semaphore);//你可以認(rèn)為這個(gè)API可以刪除掉用上面函數(shù)創(chuàng)建的信號(hào)量,要?jiǎng)h除那個(gè)信號(hào)量,參數(shù)就是哪個(gè)信號(hào)量,比如OSCD_DelSemaphore(mutex);
}
P操作:按照P操作的定義,先對(duì)信號(hào)量值減1,然后再和0比較,若大于等于0,就可以得到資源繼續(xù)運(yùn)行,小于0的話就等待。我先給出代碼再做解釋:
void P( OSCD_semaphore semaphore)
{
::WaitForSingleObject(semaphore,INFINITE);//這個(gè)API是等待信號(hào)量的函數(shù),若等待的信號(hào)量值大于等于0時(shí),便返回,程序繼續(xù)運(yùn)行,若無資源了,便會(huì)一直等待,函數(shù)不會(huì)返回,程序就不能再往下運(yùn)行
}
V操作:使信號(hào)量加1;很簡單:
void V(OSCD_semaphore semaphore)
{
if (!::ReleaseSemaphore(semaphore,1,NULL))//該API使信號(hào)量加1(第二個(gè)參數(shù),如果你想使它一次加2,只需給第二個(gè)參數(shù)傳2 即可)
{
printf("release semaphore error: %d\n",GetLastError());//檢查上面函數(shù)是否調(diào)用成功
exit(0);
}
}//該函數(shù)使用方法,還以mutex為例說明:V(mutex);
至此我們的初步目標(biāo)已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn),接下來就是創(chuàng)建線程的函數(shù);
HANDLE CreateThread( LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes,DWORD dwStackSize,LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE lpStartAddress,LPVOID lpParameter,DWORD dwCreationFlags, Lpdword lpThread);
去枝葉剪頁,其中只有第3個(gè)和第4個(gè)參數(shù)有用,LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE 是一個(gè)線程函數(shù)指針(其實(shí)你也可以把線程理解為特殊的函數(shù),特殊主要體現(xiàn)在它能和其它線程函數(shù)并發(fā)執(zhí)行)函數(shù)的原型是這樣的DWORD WINAPI threadfunction(LPVOID lpParameter),意思是,這個(gè)函數(shù)有一個(gè)空指針類型的參數(shù),該參數(shù)返回值是DWORD(unsigned long)型的,WINAPI 就是_stdcall 是函數(shù)的一種調(diào)用方式(如果現(xiàn)在不懂,沒關(guān)系,以后會(huì)懂的,不必糾結(jié)),第四個(gè)參數(shù)是一個(gè)空類型指針,仔細(xì)看,這個(gè)參數(shù)其實(shí)就是傳遞給線程函數(shù)的,趕緊看線程函數(shù)的參數(shù)是不是正是LPVOID lpParameter,我們可以把寫者要寫的內(nèi)容的指針放到這個(gè)參數(shù)里面?zhèn)鬟f給線程函數(shù),讓線程函數(shù)執(zhí)行時(shí)會(huì)從這個(gè)參數(shù)所指的內(nèi)容取出然后再寫進(jìn)緩沖區(qū)。總結(jié)一些,也就是我們要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建一個(gè)線程就必須提供一個(gè)固定的函數(shù)指針(也就是函數(shù)名),然后再把要傳給線程的數(shù)據(jù)的指針給lpParameter。好了我給出調(diào)用這個(gè)函數(shù)的示例:
DWORD WINAPI Writer(LPVOID lpParameter){
寫者的具體代碼…
}
char * p="DataToWrite";
HANDLE hThreads=::CreateThread(NULL,0,Reader,p,SW_NORMAL,NULL);//只需注意第3、4個(gè)參數(shù)就行,其它的參數(shù)不要管。
這樣線程創(chuàng)建就完了;但看一下這種情況 //把創(chuàng)建線程作為最后一個(gè)語句時(shí)main函數(shù)會(huì)在創(chuàng)建完線程后退出,也就意味著程序結(jié)束,但這是線程只是創(chuàng)建成功,但并沒有執(zhí)行的機(jī)會(huì)。
int main(){
………..
HANDLE hThreads=::CreateThread(NULL,0,Reader,p,SW_NORMAL,NULL);
}
要解決這個(gè)問題,就要用到另一個(gè)API,在這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)中一共有多個(gè)線程,我們必須在創(chuàng)建完線程后等待它們?nèi)窟\(yùn)行結(jié)束后才能讓main函數(shù)退出。
WaitForMultipleObjects( DWORD nCount, HANDLE* lpHandles, BOOL bWaitAll, DWORD dwMilliseconds);這個(gè)函數(shù)中第一個(gè)參數(shù)指得是要等待線程的總數(shù)量,第二個(gè)參數(shù)是所有線程的“手柄”數(shù)組,因?yàn)榈却瘮?shù)是通過線程的“手柄”才能操作線程,等待函數(shù)也一樣,只有得到它的句柄才能在其內(nèi)核對(duì)象上等待;所以我們應(yīng)該這樣做:
HANDLE hThreads[12];//本例中有六個(gè)讀者線程,六個(gè)寫者線程;
然后再創(chuàng)建線程成功后把每個(gè)線程的句柄都保存在這個(gè)數(shù)組中WaitForMultipleObjects( DWORD nCount, HANDLE* lpHandles, BOOL bWaitAll, DWORD dwMilliseconds);然后再這樣調(diào)用:
WaitForMultipleObjects(12,hThreads,TRUE,INFINITE); //這個(gè)函數(shù)會(huì)在所有等待的線程都執(zhí)行完成后返回,接著main函數(shù)返回,程序結(jié)束。由于這個(gè)函數(shù)也可用于等待其中任一形成結(jié)束,后返回(第三個(gè)參數(shù)傳FALSE時(shí),意思是不必等所有線程都執(zhí)行完,只要有一個(gè)執(zhí)行完,就返回),所以我們在這傳TRUE,并且在最后一個(gè)參數(shù)(等待超時(shí),如果在這個(gè)時(shí)間內(nèi)線程還沒有結(jié)束,該函數(shù)也會(huì)返回,所以我們應(yīng)該把超時(shí)設(shè)置為無限。。)
到了這里,基本都講完了,下面給出完整代碼
