Part 3: Pthread Mutex Implementation (10 points)

Modify the pthread-data-sharing-mutex-os-call.cpp program to apply a Pthread mutex solution, i.e., you will use Linux system calls to control access to the critical region. Refer to the prep materials for background info (section 2.3.6 in the textbook) and also to the Linux manual for the names and parameters of the functions. See https://linux.die.net/man/3/pthread_mutex_init The necessary changes will be very small, i.e., not a lot of code is needed.

Build and execute the updated program several times. Expected Output: Your program should produce output similar to the following (Note: the order of threads may be different in your case):

Thread #0 count 1 Thread #0 count 2 Thread #0 count 3 Thread #0 count 4 Thread #0 count 5 Thread #0 count 6 Thread #0 count 7 Thread #0 count 8 Thread #0 count 9 Thread #0 count 10 Thread #3 count 11 Thread #3 count 12 Thread #3 count 13 Thread #3 count 14 Thread #3 count 15 Thread #3 count 16 Thread #3 count 17 Thread #3 count 18 Thread #3 count 19 Thread #3 count 20 Thread #2 count 21 Thread #1 count 22 Thread #1 count 23 Thread #1 count 24 Thread #1 count 25 Thread #1 count 26 Thread #1 count 27 Thread #1 count 28 Thread #1 count 29 Thread #1 count 30 Thread #1 count 31 Thread #2 count 32 Thread #2 count 33 Thread #2 count 34 Thread #2 count 35 Thread #2 count 36 Thread #2 count 37 Thread #2 count 38 Thread #2 count 39 Thread #2 count 40 Final count 40
