How can I debug issues with the pthread library in C?

Debugging pthread issues often involves checking for race conditions, deadlocks, and proper thread synchronization. What specific problem are you facing?

I'm getting a deadlock when two threads try to access the same resource.

Deadlocks can occur when two threads are waiting for each other to release resources. You can use tools like gdb or valgrind to analyze thread states. Have you tried logging the thread activity?

No, I haven't. How can I log thread activity?

You can use mutexes to protect shared resources and log messages before and after acquiring locks. This will help you trace where the deadlock occurs.

That sounds helpful! I'll try that and see if it resolves the issue.

Great! If you need further assistance, feel free to ask. Good luck!
