C ++以最优雅的方式同步线程

我尝试解决以下问题,我知道有多种解决方案,但我正在寻找最优雅的方式(更少的代码)来解决它。

我有4个线程,其中3个尝试在无限循环中向易失性整数变量写入唯一值(0,1或2),第四个线程尝试读取此变量的值并打印stdout的值也在无限循环中。

我想在线程之间进行同步,因此写入0的线程将运行,然后是“print”线程,然后是写入1然后再写入打印线程的线程,依此类推...... 所以我最终期望在“print”线程的输出中看到的是一系列零,然后是1的序列,然后是2然后是0,依此类推......

在这些线程之间进行同步的最优雅,最简单的方法是什么。

这是程序代码:

volatile int value;
int thid[4];

int main() {
    HANDLE handle[4];
    for (int ii=0;ii<4;ii++) {
        thid[ii]=ii;
        handle[ii] = (HANDLE) CreateThread( NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)                 ThreadProc, &thid[ii], 0, NULL);
    }
    return 0;
}

void WINAPI ThreadProc( LPVOID param ) {
    int h=*((int*)param);

    switch (h) {
        case 3:
            while(true) {
                cout << value << endl;
            }
            break;
        default:
            while(true) {
                // setting a unique value to the volatile variable
                value=h;
            }
            break;
    }
}

如果要同步线程,则使用同步对象以“乒乓”或“滴答滴答”模式保存每个线程。 在C ++ 11中,您可以使用条件变量,示例here显示类似于您要求的内容。

您的问题可以通过生产者消费模式解决。 我从维基百科获得了灵感,所以如果你想要更多的细节,这里就是链接。

我使用随机数生成器生成volatile变量,但您可以更改该部分。

以下是代码:它可以在样式方面进行改进(使用C ++ 11作为随机数),但它可以产生你期望的结果。

    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lk(mutRand);
    return rand() % 3;
