The document presents a C program that implements the Readers-Writers problem using semaphores to ensure mutual exclusion while allowing multiple readers and one writer to access a shared resource concurrently. It includes the necessary code with functions for both readers and writers, along with synchronization mechanisms. The program runs until the user presses ENTER, at which point it terminates and cleans up resources.

Title : Write a program using semaphores to implement the Readers-Writers problem,
ensuring mutual exclusion while allowing multiple readers and one writer to access a
shared resource concurrently.

Name:Rasal Aarya Vijay Batch : B Roll No : 23107101

Program :

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <semaphore.h>

#include <pthread.h>

#include <stdbool.h>

sem_t w;

pthread_mutex_t

m; int Rc = 0; bool

running = true;

void *writer(void *arg) { while

(running) { sem_wait(&w);

printf("writer is writing....\n");

sleep(1); printf("writer finished

writing..\n"); sem_post(&w);

sleep(2);

return NULL;

}
void *reader(void *arg)

{ while (running)

{ pthread_mutex_lock(&m

); Rc++; if (Rc == 1) {

sem_wait(&w);

pthread_mutex_unlock(&m);

printf("reader is reading...\n");

sleep(1); printf("reader finished

reading...\n");

pthread_mutex_lock(&m);

Rc--; if (Rc

== 0)

{ sem_post(&w

);

pthread_mutex_unlock(&m);

sleep(2);

return NULL;

int main()

{ pthread_t r1, r2,

w1;
sem_init(&w, 0, 1);

pthread_mutex_init(&m, NULL);

pthread_create(&r1, NULL, reader,

NULL); pthread_create(&r2, NULL,

reader, NULL); pthread_create(&w1,

NULL, writer, NULL);

printf("Press ENTER to stop...\n");

getchar(); running = false;

pthread_join(r1, NULL);

pthread_join(r2, NULL);

pthread_join(w1, NULL);

sem_destroy(&w);

pthread_mutex_destroy(&m);

return 0;

Output :

Press ENTER to stop...

reader is reading...

reader is reading...

reader finished reading...

reader finished reading...


writer is writing....

writer finished writing..

reader is reading...

reader is reading...
