Think, Spaghetti, Sleep, repeat. This 42rio project is about learning how threads, shared memory, mutexes, and deadlocks work by precisely timing a group of philosophers on when to pick up forks and eat spaghetti without dying from hunger.
Where the multithreaded magic happens 😄
$> git clone https://github.com/Grsaiago/philosophers.git && cd philosophers && cd philo && makeThe magic still happens, but this time with ✨UNIX Semaphores✨
$> git clone https://github.com/Grsaiago/philosophers.git && cd philosophers && cd philo_bonus && makemake supports the following flags for both mandatory and bonus part.
