A C implementation of the classic Dining Philosophers Problem by Edsger Dijkstra, with threads, mutexes, forks and semaphores.

• Makefile should explicitly name all source files (make dump_sources).
• Make must compile without relinking
  • make all shouldn't recompile/rearchive any objects or sources.
  • Add .keep to object dirs
• Compiles with workspace's cc (clang version 12.0.1)
  • Switch Makefile's clang-12 to CC before submitting.
• Test in workspaces
• Written in C.
• Follows norminette 3.3.51
• Should not quit unexpectedly (segmentation fault, bus error, double free, etc.)
• All allocated heap memory properly freed, no memory leaks.
  • Use gcc -fsanitize=leak flag.
  • Check memory leaks with valgrind.
• Compiles with -Wall -Wextra -Werror
• No global variables.
• Receive 4-5 arguments.
  • number_of_philosophers: number of philosophers and forks.
  • time_to_die (ms)
    • Philosophers should die if they didn't eat since the BEGINNING of their last meal/beggining of the simulation.
  • time_to_eat (ms)
  • time_to_sleep (ms)
  • number_of_times_each_philosopher_must_eat (OPTIONAL)
• Index philosophers from 1 to number_of_philosophers.
• Program log:
  • timestamp_in_ms X has taken a fork
  • timestamp_in_ms X is eating
  • timestamp_in_ms X is sleeping
  • timestamp_in_ms X is thinking
  • timestamp_in_ms X died
• Log messages shouldn't mix up with each other.
• Death message should print before 10 ms.
• Philosophers should avoid dying.
• No data races.

• Program name philo
• Turn in Makefile, *.h, *.c , .gitignore in directory philo/
• Makefile rules: $(NAME) all clean fclean re
• Allowed functions:
  • memset printf malloc free write usleep
  • gettimeofday pthread_create pthread_detach
  • pthread_join pthread_mutex_init pthread_mutex_destroy
  • pthread_mutex_lock pthread_mutex_unlock
  • libft FORBIDDEN
• Philosophers alternatively eat, sleep or think (in that order)
• Should calculate if philosopher will die and die.
• There are as many forks as philosophers
• Philosophers need to grab left_fork and right_fork before they can eat.
• Create a thread for each philosopher.
  • Deal with lone philosopher separately.
• Create a mutex for each fork.
• Program ends when any one philosopher dies from starvation
• Program ends when each philosopher ate number_of_times_each_philosopher_must_eat
• Guardian Thread:
  • Checks whether any philosopher died/should be dead.
  • Check if everyone ate their last meal.
  • Polling + Mutex
• Pass all testers

• Program name philo_bonus
• Turn in Makefile, *.h, *.c , .gitignore in directory philo_bonus/
• Makefile rules: $(NAME) all clean fclean re
• Allowed functions:
  • memset printf malloc free write fork kill exit
  • pthread_create pthread_detach pthread_join usleep gettimeofday
  • waitpid sem_open sem_close sem_post sem_wait sem_unlink
  • libft FORBIDDEN
• Create a process for each philosopher.
• Create a semaphore the forks.

You will need git, make and clang-12:

$ sudo apt-get install git make clang-12

Clone the repo and build with make:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/librity/ft_philosophers.git
$ cd ft_philosophers/philo
$ make

This should create a philo executable in the root folder:

./philo

Part of the larger 42 Network, 42 São Paulo is a software engineering school that offers a healthy alternative to traditional education:

• It doesn't have any teachers and classes.
• Students learn by cooperating and correcting each other's work (peer-to-peer learning).
• Its focus is as much on social skills as it is on technical skills.
• It's completely free to anyone that passes its selection process - The Piscine

It's an amazing school, and I'm grateful for the opportunity.
