修改问题是-互斥量和“二进制”信号量在“Linux”中的区别是什么?

答:以下是它们的区别 i)作用域——互斥锁的作用域在创建它的进程地址空间内，用于线程同步。而信号量可以跨进程空间使用，因此它可以用于进程间同步。

ii)互斥量是轻量级的，比信号量更快。Futex甚至更快。

iii)同一线程可以成功多次获得互斥锁，条件是互斥锁释放次数相同。其他线程试图获取将阻塞。而对于信号量，如果同一个进程试图再次获取它，它会阻塞，因为它只能获得一次。

You obviously use mutex to lock a data in one thread getting accessed by another thread at the same time. Assume that you have just called lock() and in the process of accessing data. This means that you don’t expect any other thread (or another instance of the same thread-code) to access the same data locked by the same mutex. That is, if it is the same thread-code getting executed on a different thread instance, hits the lock, then the lock() should block the control flow there. This applies to a thread that uses a different thread-code, which is also accessing the same data and which is also locked by the same mutex. In this case, you are still in the process of accessing the data and you may take, say, another 15 secs to reach the mutex unlock (so that the other thread that is getting blocked in mutex lock would unblock and would allow the control to access the data). Do you at any cost allow yet another thread to just unlock the same mutex, and in turn, allow the thread that is already waiting (blocking) in the mutex lock to unblock and access the data? Hope you got what I am saying here? As per, agreed upon universal definition!,

使用“互斥”就不会发生这种情况。没有其他线程可以解锁锁 在你的帖子里 使用“二进制信号量”可以实现这种情况。任何其他线程都可以解锁 线程中的锁

因此，如果您非常注重使用二进制信号量而不是互斥量，那么在锁定和解锁的“作用域”时应该非常小心。我的意思是，每个触及每个锁的控制流都应该触及一个解锁调用，也不应该有任何“第一次解锁”，而应该总是“第一次锁定”。

互斥量是任何想要解决临界区问题的算法都必须遵循的标准，而二进制信号量本身是一个可以取0和1值的变量。

The basic issue is concurrency. There is more than one flow of control. Think about two processes using a shared memory. Now only one process can access the shared memory at a time. If more than one process accesses the shared memory at a time, the contents of shared memory would get corrupted. It is like a railroad track. Only one train can run on it, else there would be an accident.So there is a signalling mechanism, which a driver checks. If the signal is green, the train can go and if it is red it has to wait to use the track. Similarly in case of shared memory, there is a binary semaphore. If the semaphore is 1, a process acquires it (makes it 0) and goes ahead and accesses it. If the semaphore is 0, the process waits. The functionality the binary semaphore has to provide is mutual exclusion (or mutex, in short) so that only one of the many concurrent entities (process or thread) mutually excludes others. It is a plus that we have counting semaphores, which help in synchronizing multiple instances of a resource.

互斥是信号量提供的基本功能。现在在线程上下文中，我们可能有不同的名称和语法。但基本概念是相同的:如何在并发编程中保持代码和数据的完整性。在我看来，像所有权和相关检查这样的东西是由实现提供的改进。

最好的解决方案

唯一的区别是

1.互斥锁-> lock和unlock属于锁定互斥锁的线程。

2.信号量->没有所有权，即;如果一个线程调用semwait(s)，任何其他线程都可以调用sempost(s)来移除锁。

互斥是一种锁机制，用于同步对资源的访问。 信号量是一种信号机制。

如果他/她想使用二进制信号量来代替互斥量，这取决于程序员。
