Question

Need some assistance with the below, can anyone offer some advice on how to solve this?

Study carefully the following code: #define BUFFER_SIZE X typedef struct { } // Producer while (1) { while (((in + 1) % BUFFER_SIZE) = = out.);// do nothing buffer [in] = nextProduced: in = (in + 1) % BUFFER_SIZE } // Consumer while (1) { while (in = = out): nextConsumed = buffer [out]: out = (out + 1) % BUFFER_SIZE } a. State and explain the effect of assigning a value of 1 to BUFFER_SIZE? b. Suppose your friend rewrote the producer code and called it "MyVersionOfProducer". However, after carefully studying it, you found a problem/issue in this version. Explain the issue with an example. // Producer while (1) { while (in = = out): // do nothing buffer [in] = nextProduced: in = (in + 1) % BUFFER_SIZE }

Explanation / Answer

1. the value 1 is assignes to the buffer time because buffer time is the time used between two procedures so we keep it as 1 so that the execution goes smoth between producer and customer.try to overcome this deficiency by introducing a counter variable, as shown in the following code segments:

while(1){

while(counter==BUFFER_SIZE){

buffer[in]=nextProduced;

in =in+1 % BUFFER_SIZE;

counter++;

}

}

2.the issue can be because of the value of in will be unavailable and while the producer is running .
