Step 2: Focus in on threading use case

To duplicate

In /src/Step_2/ run make. Executable will build as Lock.out. To run executable, run ./Lock.out.

Files

• LockGuard.h
• main.cpp

Results

It produced this output, which matched expectations:

armaan@ubuntuVM:Step_2$ ./Lock.out 
thread #3
thread #2
thread #1

Test conditions

• Pass: The test code performs the same with my namespace and class, chal::LockGuard, as it would with std::lock_guard.
• Fail: Any other result.

Method

Coding

The example I used from Step 1 is already threadable with 10 threads called, so I intend to take current LockGuard testbench and change it to 3 threads. See Reference in Appendix for details.

Requirements

2. Implement c++11 threading example

   2-3 threads running

Prelims

Parsing Requirements

Was initially uncertain about parsing prompt. Read ahead to Step 3 to illuminate requirments. Discussion in Appendix

Environment

Environment remains the same as the previous step.
