In C++

This exercise involves implementing the solution to the bounded buffer/readers and writers problem using threads.

You will create a program that accepts four command line arguments:

• run_time (the length of time the program should run)


• buffer_size (number of slots in the bounded buffer)


• num_producers (number of producer threads)


• num_consumers (number of consumer threads)

The program will create a thread for each producer and consumer. As each thread produces or consumes a data item, it will print its status.

Example Output

Here are some sample runs:

Not enough arguments

If not enough arguments are provided, the program should print an error message and exit.
