Thread synchronization problem

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<pthread.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>
pthread_t tid[2];
int counter;
void* doSomeThing(void *arg)
{
unsigned long i = 0;
counter += 1;
printf("\n Job %d started\n", counter);
for(i=0; i<(0xFFFFFFFF);i++);
printf("\n Job %d finished\n", counter);
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
int i = 0;
int err;
while(i < 2)
{
err = pthread_create(&(tid[i]), NULL, &doSomeThing, NULL);
if (err != 0)
printf("\ncan't create thread :[%s]", strerror(err));
i++;
}
pthread_join(tid[0], NULL);
pthread_join(tid[1], NULL);
return 0;
}

Above example using mutex (Problem solved)


#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<pthread.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>
pthread_t tid[2];
int counter;
pthread_mutex_t lock;
void* doSomeThing(void *arg)
{
pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
unsigned long i = 0;
counter += 1;
printf("\n Job %d started\n", counter);
for(i=0; i<(0xFFFFFFFF);i++);
printf("\n Job %d finished\n", counter);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
int i = 0;
int err;
if (pthread_mutex_init(&lock, NULL) != 0)
{
printf("\n mutex init failed\n");
return 1;
}
While (i < 2)
{
err = pthread_create(&(tid[i]), NULL, &doSomeThing, NULL);
if (err != 0)
printf("\ncan't create thread :[%s]", strerror(err));
i++;
}
pthread_join(tid[0], NULL);
pthread_join(tid[1], NULL);
pthread_mutex_destroy(&lock);
return 0;
}
