Implement Multiple Producers and Consumers
Learn to implement multiple producer and consumer problems.
We'll cover the following
The producer-consumer problem is really a set of problems. Solutions will differ if the buffer is bounded or unbounded, or if there are multiple producers, multiple consumers, or both.
Let's consider a case with multiple producers, multiple consumers, and a bounded (limited capacity) buffer. This is a common condition.
How to do it
In this recipe, we'll look at a case with multiple producers and consumers and a bounded buffer, using a variety of techniques we've covered in this chapter:
We'll start with some constants for convenience and reliability:
