how to use threads to add items to a list- RC
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <list>
#include <algorithm>
#include <mutex>
using namespace std;
// a global variable
std::list<int>myList;
// a global instance of std::mutex to protect global variable
std::mutex myMutex;
void addToList(int max, int interval)
{
// the access to this function is mutually exclusive
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> guard(myMutex);
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
if( (i % interval) == 0) myList.push_back(i);
}
}
void printList()
{
// the access to this function is mutually exclusive
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> guard(myMutex);
for (auto itr = myList.begin(), end_itr = myList.end(); itr != end_itr; ++itr ) {
cout << *itr << ",";
}
}
int main()
{
int max = 100;
std::thread t1(addToList, max, 1);
std::thread t2(addToList, max, 10);
std::thread t3(printList);
t1.join();
t2.join();
t3.join();
return 0;
