In the previous article, we used semaphores to achieve mutual exclusion between threads. This article uses the mutex synchronization mechanism of semaphores to implement a classic instance, that is, "producer and consumer ".
1. Briefly describe the problems of producers and consumers.
There is a buffer and two threads: producer and consumer. The producer places the product in the buffer zone, and the consumer removes the product from the buffer zone. When the buffer zone is full, the producer must wait. In addition, when the buffer zone is empty, the consumer must wait, and the buffer zone cannot operate both the producer and consumer.

From the classic example above, we have combined the multi-thread Simultaneous programming problem. The Learning thread has come to an end. In future programming applications, we hope to implement it in practice ~~
