The Producer Thread
What does a producer thread write to the buffer? Create 20 different files (named in0.txt, in1.txt, ... in19.txt). [Testing Hint: you want
to be able to tell from the text which file it is from, so the contents should be aaaaaa or bbbbbbb etc..] Vary the length of the file
contents, so that you can test that your program works with content smaller than the buffer size and content longer than the buffer
size. Implement a FIFO queue and add the file names to it, one per queue entry. Create 20 Producer threads. Up to 128
characters of each file is "produced" as follows: a producer thread gets the file name from the FIFO queue, reads the contents from
that file, converts all characters to uppercase, and writes the contents into any available buffer slot.
The Consumer Thread
Create 5 consumer threads. Each consumer thread should read the current contents of a full buffer slot, and print them to stdout. A
consumer thread continues until 2 conditions hold: All buffers are empty, and all 20 files have been produced.
Synchronization
Each different text buffer must be produced and consumed exactly once. In other words, the output from your program should show
the file contents up to a max of 128 characters.

-------------------------------------------------

OK so I'm basically done with this thing except I've run into a last minute problem. It seems like only one buffer is being used the entire time instead of using all 5 slots. Also it feels like only one consumer is being used, which is a problem. I posted this on another board, but only one guy was helping me out and I think he might be done for the night, so figured I'd try here because I've been on this for about 20+ hours the last few days and I'm stumped here.

Why is this happening? I'm sure my semaphores are set up properly. Anyway, my code is posting below, with the semaphore sections BOLDED. And the code is following by the output. The output to the left is from the producer, the output to the right is from the consumer.

Also ignore some of the output to the left, some of it is just for debugging. The main thing is that only buffer[0] is ever being used. buffer1, 2, 3, and 4 never even get touched!

also notice at the top right of the output, the consumer threads start right away. I'm not sure exactly how that should output, but I don't believe that's correct...

When you create the consumer thread, check the function call. The last parameter is s . It should be &i

There are several problems with this code.
1. The producer locks the queue for much too long. The mutex can be safely released right after the queue entry is unlinked. In fact you make your producers to run sequentially, and since the file IO is a very time consuming operation, the consumers have more than enough time to do their job while another producer opens and reads its file. That's why you only get one slot used.
2. Semaphores are not enough. You need a mutex to protect the counter.

Your are the best, So I added mutex's in both my consumer AND producer basically in between the semaphores and before I do my action:
PRODUCER:

sem_wait(&empty);
        pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
        if(counter < BUFFER_SIZE) {
                strncpy(buffer[counter],fileContent,128);
                printf("buffer[%d] = %s\n", counter, buffer[counter]);
                counter++;
        }
        pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); 
        sem_post(&full);

CONSUMER:

sem_wait(&full);
                pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
                if(counter > 0) {
                printf("\t\t\tbuffer[%d] = %s\n", counter - 1, buffer[(counter - 1)]);
                counter--;
                }
                pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
                sem_post(&empty);

And I changed the other mutex to unlock right after this statement:
if(q->head == NULL)
q->tail = q->head;

Now I actually get output from different buffers! Gracias amigo. However, buffer 3 and 4 never get used. Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong? Here's my output now..

Can someone help me with this problem?

buffer[1] = FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFCCCCCCC

My buffer should only print 128 characters, but I'm getting more then that, a different buffer is writing into this one. SO instead of getting all F's, I'm getting F's with another letter... Anyone?

thanks

Actually I found a way to get around it! Good deal, thanks for your help nezachem.
