Programming with POSIX threads David R. Butenhof
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional

Most programmers have run into problems with infinite recursion before, and while it is fatal to their program, it isn't usually fatal to their machine. For UNIX systems, this interface has been specified by the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c standard (1995). I know plenty of programmers who use threads and use volatile in C and C++ and life goes on just fine. Today was the final day of a 3-day workshop on POSIX threads (pthreads) and Network programming, organized at the Ettimadai (Coimbatore) campus of Amrita. For UNIX systems, a standardized C language threads programming interface has been specified by the IEEE POSIX 1003.1c standard. First, let's import some necessary headers, mainly pthread.h which provides the POSIX threads implementation. The mutex is already locked by the same thread. Introduction to Multi-Threaded Programming: A description of POSIX thread basics for C programmers. In order to take full advantage of the capabilities provided by threads, a standardized programming interface was required. Here's a simple C program that demonstrates the use of the pthreads library for multicore programming. Multi-Threading: Deadlock Tracer Utility: Tracing deadlocks in multi-threaded applications. Butenhof An in-depth description of the IEEE operating system interface standard, POSIX threads, commonly called Pthreads. This is simple: to make these function threads-safe in an effective manner, glibc uses a mutex. I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code. The past three days were extremely useful for all of us. So, why are Go programs different ? One of the key features of Goroutines is their cost; they are cheap to create in terms of initial memory footprint (as opposed to the 1 to 8 megabytes with a traditional POSIX thread) and their stack grows and shrinks as necessary.
