How to wake the sleeping threads and exit the main thread?
问题 I am creating 10 threads. Each thread will do some task. There are 7 tasks to be done. Since number of tasks are less than the number of threads, there would always be 3 threads that sleep and do nothing. My main thread must wait for the tasks to get completed and exit only when all the tasks are done (i.e when the thread exits). I am waiting in a for loop and calling pthread_join but with the 3 threads that are sleeping, how can I wake them up and make them exit? Here is what I am doing now.
