How can I debug threads in C++?

Debugging threads in C++ can be challenging. You can use tools like GDB or Visual Studio's debugger. What specific issues are you facing?

I'm having trouble with race conditions. How can I identify them?

Race conditions occur when multiple threads access shared data simultaneously. You can use thread sanitizers or logging to track access patterns.

Are there any best practices to avoid race conditions?

Yes, use mutexes or locks to control access to shared resources, and consider using atomic operations for simple data types.

What about deadlocks? How can I prevent them?

To prevent deadlocks, ensure that all threads acquire locks in a consistent order and use timeout mechanisms when trying to acquire locks.
