Fork/Join

Simple example of the fork/join (i.e., waiting for a child) problem using semaphores, found in join.c.

Run make to build the code; run join to test it. Fun!

Dining Philosophers

The dining philosophers example from the text is found herein, in a few different forms:

• dining_philosophers.c: code with deadlock
• dining_philosophers_print.c: code with deadlock, and some useful printing
• dining_philosophers_no_deadlock.c: code without deadlock
• dining_philosophers_no_deadlock_print.c: code without deadlock, and some useful printing

Run make to build all of them with the highly primitive Makefile.
