What are primitives for synchronization?
Synchronization primitives are simple software mechanisms provided by a platform (e.g. operating system) to its users for the purposes of supporting thread or process synchronization. They're usually built using lower level mechanisms (e.g. atomic operations, memory barriers, spinlocks, context switches etc).
What are synchronization primitives C++?
Several synchronization primitives have been introduced to aid in multithreading the kernel. These primitives are implemented by atomic operations and use appropriate memory barriers so that users of these primitives do not have to worry about doing it themselves.
Which problems commonly being solved by using synchronization primitives?
We will justify the need for synchronization primitives as solutions to race conditions and timing constraints.
