// HINT: It is not necessary to make any changes in main() int main() { int rc[TOTAL_THREADS]; pthread_t ids[TOTAL_THREADS]; int args[TOTAL_THREADS]; count = 0; for(unsigned int i = 0; i Part 1: Peterson's Solution (15 points) 1. Execute the peterson program several times 2. Examine the output carefully. You should notice a problem in the implementation. Make sure to follow the logic in main ) and to read the comments carefully 3. Review Peterson's solution to achieve mutual exclusion. Pay special attention to the algorithm and code used to implement it. You may want to refer to the prep materials for background info (section 2.3.3 in the textbook) 4. Correct the problem. Look for the // TODO comments and address them (i.e., implement the functionality described in the comments) 5. Build and run your program and make sure that it works correctly Expected Output: Your program should produce the output similar to the following (Note: threads may, but need not strictly alternate since we are using Peterson's solution): Thread #0 count 1 Thread #1 count 2 Thread #0 count - 3 Thread #1 count = 4 Thread #0 count - 5 Thread #1 count = 6 Thread #0 count - 7 Thread #1 count = 8 Thread #0 count 9 Thread #1 count - 10 Thread #0 count = 11 Thread #1 count 12 Thread #0 count = 13 Thread #1 count - 14 Thread #0 count = 15 Thread #1 count - 16 Thread #0 count 17 Thread #1 count - 18 Thread #0 count - 19 Thread #1 count 20 Final count-20
