A C project that makes particular use of mutexes, semaphores, threads and processes via forks.
To learn more about the learned theory, read the comments inside the code.
Go into folder related to philo one, two or three and make to create the executable.
Examples of tests using the executable.
./philo_one 6 1000 2000 2000 5 //Verify rapid death
./philo_one 3 8000 2000 2000 //Infinity
./philo_one 2 8000 3000 3000 5 | grep "is eating" | wc -l //verify eat count feature
./philo_one 7 8000 3000 3000 1 //verify eat count feature
./philo_one 20 15000 2000 2000 10 //test chronological time
./philo_one 4 410 200 200 //Should not die, by correction pdf
// 410 dies occasionaly, because 420 never dies seems to be related to free memory space that can slow down the program and cause occosional death of philosopher
//Test 0 philos, 0 different times, test with negative values, test with letters
//Can behave differently on different OSs
If certain semaphores are blocked, you can unblock them gcc unlink_semaphore.c && ./a.out.
