How do I debug semaphores in C++?

Debugging semaphores can be tricky. What specific issues are you encountering?

I'm facing a deadlock situation, and I can't figure out where it's happening.

Deadlocks often occur when two or more threads are waiting for each other to release resources. Have you checked the order of your semaphore acquisitions?

Yes, I think they might be acquiring them in the wrong order. How can I visualize the semaphore states?

You can use logging to track semaphore states or employ tools like Valgrind or ThreadSanitizer to visualize thread interactions.

That sounds helpful! Any tips on preventing deadlocks in the future?

To prevent deadlocks, always acquire semaphores in a consistent order and consider using timeout mechanisms.
