How can I improve synchronization in my thread library?

You can enhance synchronization by using techniques like mutexes, semaphores, and condition variables. What specific issues are you facing?

I'm dealing with race conditions and deadlocks.

To address race conditions, consider using atomic operations or locks. For deadlocks, ensure that locks are always acquired in a consistent order.

What are atomic operations?

Atomic operations are low-level operations that complete in a single step relative to other threads, preventing race conditions.

Can you give an example of using a mutex?

Sure! A mutex can be used to protect shared data. For example, wrap your data access code with mutex lock and unlock calls to ensure only one thread accesses it at a time.
