multithreading - multi threading inside threads in c program -


i debugging c code creates 3 threads.these 3 threads wait(using pthread_cond_wait) , when program signals them(using pthread_cond_signal) create 4 threads each. when these 4 threads starts running, segmentation fault occurs.

my gdb output:

[new thread 0x7fffd57fa700 (lwp 707)]  program received signal sigsegv, segmentation fault.

in code, when create 3 threads, lock mutex variable , wait. in each 4 threads, use mutex variable , wait on it.

part of code:

in 3 threads:

{     pthread_mutex_lock(tdata-> wait_mutex);     pthread_cond_wait(tdata-> wait_cv, tdata-> wait_mutex); } 

in 4 threads:

{     pthread_cond_wait(thdata->wait_cv_th,thdata->wait_mutex_th); } 

but, in each 4 threads, use mutex variable , wait on it.

well, wrong. must lock mutex before waiting (which release lock while waiting on conditional, acquire again before returning wait, blocking if locked else). and, since pthread_cond_wait() returns mutex locked, must unlock it.
