Если вы говорите, что мьютекс / condvars разрешены, проверьте это:
#include <pthread.h>
typedef struct
{
unsigned int count;
pthread_mutex_t lock;
pthread_cond_t cond;
} semaph_t;
int
semaph_init (semaph_t *s, unsigned int n)
{
s->count = n;
pthread_mutex_init (&s->lock, 0);
pthread_cond_init (&s->cond, 0);
return 0;
}
int
semaph_post (semaph_t *s)
{
pthread_mutex_lock (&s->lock); // enter monitor
if (s->count == 0)
pthread_cond_signal (&s->cond); // signal condition
++s->count;
pthread_mutex_unlock (&s->lock); // exit monitor
return 0;
}
int
semaph_wait (semaph_t *s)
{
pthread_mutex_lock (&s->lock); // enter monitor
while (s->count == 0)
pthread_cond_wait (&s->cond, &s->lock); // wait for condition
--s->count;
pthread_mutex_unlock (&s->lock); // exit monitor
return 0;
}
