Linux--inter-process communication-semaphore

1. What is a semaphore?
It is a counter used to describe the number of certain resources, and realizes process communication by controlling other communication resources. It is responsible for data mutual exclusion, synchronization, etc. during this process. Mutual exclusion means that only one process of A and B is running during the same time period. Synchronize. That is, after process A is completed, process B is completed next, and there is a certain execution order.

2. Working principle
Two operating modes, P operation and V operation.

P operation (that is, apply for resources, and the semaphore is reduced by one)

V operation (release resources, and the semaphore is increased by one)

3. ipcs -s View semid

ipcrm -s id Delete id

4. Main functions
shmget Create semaphore

shmctl Delete

shmop P/V operation

Function prototype: int semop(int sem_id,struct sembuf *sops,size_t nsops);

sem_id is created through the shmget function

struct sembuf *sops parameter sops Points to an array of structures, each sembuf structure corresponds to a signal operation. The structure is as follows

struct sembuf
{
unsigned short sem_num;//sem_num是信号集中的索引，0代表第一个，1，代表第二个。。。 
short sem_op; //操作类型，1 -->V操作，-1-->P操作
short sem_flg; //操作标志 
 };

sem_flg flag has two types: IPC_NOWAIT or SEM_UNDO. If the operation specifies SEM_UNDO (I gave it 0 below), it will automatically undo the process on termination.
nsops is the number of sops

Before using the semaphore (as shown below), you can see that the printing results are random.

After adding the semaphore (as shown below) (they all appear in pairs because they are mutually exclusive)
