Chapter 16. Project: Producer Consumer Synchronization

This chapter focuses on variations of producer-consumer synchronization using mutex locks, semaphores, condition variables and signals. Implementations for different types of stopping conditions are developed with careful attention to error handling and shutdown. The chapter describes two projects, a parallel file copy and a print server. The parallel file copy uses bounded buffers; the print server uses unbounded buffers.
