Сигнализация используется в качестве следующего примера.Однако в вашем случае вам нужны переменные условия https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/#ConVarSignal имеет пример
pthread_cond_wait (condition,mutex)
pthread_cond_signal (condition)
pthread_cond_broadcast (condition)
Пример правильного использования сигналов с pthread_kill () показан ниже
/* ptsig.c
This program illustrates the use of signals in threads.
Three threads including the main thread.
main thread
a. Set up a signal mask to block all signals.
b. Set up signal handlers for SIGINT and SIGUSR1.
c. Create thread_1, detached.
d. Create thread_2, nondetached.
e. Send SIGINT & SIGUSR1 to thread_1.
f. Quit.
thread_1
a. Unblock all to embrace all signals.
b. Wait for signals.
c. Send SIGINT and SIGUSR1 to thread_2
d. Wait for thread_2 to terminate
e. Print thread_2 return status.
f. Quit
thread_2
a. Unblock SIGUSR1 -- all others blocked due to inheritance.
b. Wait for signals.
c. Quit
Note: There is hardly any error checking in this example -- not a good
idea, but to make the program a bit more easier to explain.
To compile: gcc ptsig.c -lpthread
