Download buffer.h and the incomplete version of hw3.c from iCollege Read through Programming Project 3 of Chapter 5 (Producer-Consumer Problem) in the textbook. Follow the suggestion in the textbook to complete the C program using Pthreads. Do NOT solve the problem using Windows API. In addition to the requirement in the textbook, print a message every time an item is produced or consumed in your producer and consumer threads. The message should also include the thread ID of the producer or consumer. To get a thread's ID, you may call pthread_self() function and convert the result into an integer. For example, you can use printf("Consumer %u consumed %d ",(unsigned int)pthread-self(), consumed-number); for the consumer. You can use a similar code for the producer. . * .
