How can I debug threading issues in C?

Debugging threading issues in C can be challenging. What specific problems are you encountering?

I'm facing race conditions and deadlocks in my application.

For race conditions, ensure that shared resources are properly synchronized using mutexes. For deadlocks, check the order of resource acquisition.

How can I identify where the deadlock is occurring?

You can use tools like Valgrind or ThreadSanitizer to help identify deadlocks by analyzing thread states.

Are there any best practices to avoid these issues in the future?

Yes, always minimize shared data, use proper locking mechanisms, and consider using higher-level abstractions like thread pools.
