Valgrind的多线程调试工具

Valgrind的多线程调试工具 
Helgrind是Valgrind的一个重点功能 本节主要针对与多线程基本安全问题进行检测:【所有的代码环境都是在POSIX_THREAD模式下】

写线程代码时 经常碰到如下问题
1)  资源不安全访问 【就是多个线程在没有同步的情况下写某个资源体】
2) 死锁问题
3)  POSIX pthreads API的错误使用
4)  在前面几个基础上都能安全无误的情况下 多于多线程程序就是要能够能好将同步块尽量缩到最小  【这是一个很大的课题】
  解决问题:
    ?问题1:   调用Helgrind能够很好的解决掉  已基本例子为例:
    ?

  1. #include <pthread.h>

  2. int var = 0;

  3. void* child_fn ( void* arg ) {

  4.          var++;

  5.          return NULL;

  6. }

  7. int main ( void ) {

  8.          pthread_t child;

  9.          pthread_t child2;

  10.          pthread_create(&child,NULL, child_fn, NULL);

  11.          pthread_create(&child2,NULL,child_fn,NULL);

  12.          pthread_join(child,NULL);

  13.          pthread_join(child2,NULL);

  14.          return 0;

  15. }

明显var是共享的 不安全访问,调用Helgrind看看怎么能够检测出来
gcc -g thread_helgrind.c  -o thread_helgrind -lpthread
valgrind --tool=helgrind ./thread_helgrind
可以看出valgrind弹出如下输出信息:

可以看出绿色就显示的data_race错误  可以直接定位到var前后没有locks/

问题2:
    ?死锁问题是尽量避免  对于helgrind可以检测出加锁解锁顺序出现问题导致的死锁问题    这个问题我们可以好好看下:
    ?首先 看下一个正常的程序
    ?

#include <pthread.h>

pthread_mutex_t mut_thread;

int var = 0;

void* child_fn ( void* arg ) {

pthread_mutex_lock(&mut_thread);

var++;

pthread_mutex_unlock(&mut_thread);

         return NULL;

}

int main ( void ) {

         pthread_t child;

         pthread_t child2;

         pthread_mutex_init(&mut_thread,NULL);

         pthread_create(&child,NULL, child_fn, NULL);

         pthread_create(&child2,NULL,child_fn,NULL);

         pthread_join(child,NULL);

         pthread_join(child2,NULL);

         return 0;

}

正常加锁解锁  没有问题 
在看下连续加2次锁的情况:

#include <pthread.h>

pthread_mutex_t mut_thread;

int var = 0;

void* child_fn ( void* arg ) {

pthread_mutex_lock(&mut_thread);

var++;

pthread_mutex_lock(&mut_thread);

         return NULL;

}

int main ( void ) {

         pthread_t child;

         pthread_t child2;

         pthread_mutex_init(&mut_thread,NULL);

         pthread_create(&child,NULL, child_fn, NULL);

         pthread_create(&child2,NULL,child_fn,NULL);

         pthread_join(child,NULL);

         pthread_join(child2,NULL);

         return 0;

}

    看下这个helgrind打印出来的东西 【当然要杀死 不然会一直卡在那里动都不动一下】

Lock was previously acquired   对于自身线程来讲  这样的做法明显出问题 它自身还在尝试获取这个lock 这样就导致死锁的发生。可以定位到==26534==    by 0x80485C6: child_fn (deadlock_helgrind.c:14)出问题了 所以这个helgrind解决这类问题时还是非常的厉害的~!
接下来看一个2 mutex导致的问题:

#include <pthread.h>

pthread_mutex_t mut_thread;

pthread_mutex_t mut_thread1;

int var = 0;

void* child_fn ( void* arg ) {

pthread_mutex_lock(&mut_thread);

pthread_mutex_lock(&mut_thread1);

var++;

pthread_mutex_unlock(&mut_thread);

pthread_mutex_unlock(&mut_thread1);

         return NULL;

}

void* child_fn1(void *arg)

{

pthread_mutex_lock(&mut_thread1);

pthread_mutex_lock(&mut_thread);

var++;

pthread_mutex_unlock(&mut_thread1);

pthread_mutex_unlock(&mut_thread);

         return NULL;

}

int main ( void ) {

         pthread_t child;

         pthread_t child2;

         pthread_mutex_init(&mut_thread,NULL);

         pthread_mutex_init(&mut_thread1,NULL);

         pthread_create(&child,NULL, child_fn, NULL);

         pthread_create(&child2,NULL,child_fn1,NULL);

         pthread_join(child,NULL);

         pthread_join(child2,NULL);

         return 0;

}

这是观察法得出的  加锁顺序出错导致了这种情况的发生。 
posix_thread erro这里就不列举了  这个完全是看基础。
