1. Does the following code solve the producer-consumer problem? Explain your answer.

semaphore mutex; semaphore empty; semaphore full; // For exclusive access to buffers; initialized to 1 // Number of available buffers; initialized to n // Number of buffers with content; initialized to 0 void producer () void consumer ( while (1) while ( 1 ) produce ( item); mutex.P(); empty.P(); put ( item); full.v(); mutex.V(); full.P(); mutex.P(); remove ( item); empty.v(); mutex.v(); consume ( item); semaphore mutex; semaphore empty; semaphore full; // For exclusive access to buffers; initialized to 1 // Number of available buffers; initialized to n // Number of buffers with content; initialized to 0 void producer () void consumer ( while (1) while ( 1 ) produce ( item); mutex.P(); empty.P(); put ( item); full.v(); mutex.V(); full.P(); mutex.P(); remove ( item); empty.v(); mutex.v(); consume ( item)
