Git Repository Readme

File Summary

This Git repository contains the following files and folders:

• BashScripts/: A folder that contains Bash scripts.
• producer.cpp: A C++ source code file that implements a producer.
• consumer.cpp: A C++ source code file that implements a consumer.
• shared.hpp: A C++ header file that contains shared definitions used by both producer and consumer.

BashScripts

This folder contains utility scripts that I used to quickly do repetitive tasks. This includes compiling, running the processes, doing both, and deleting the shared memory partition while debugging.

consumer.cpp

This is a C++ source code file that implements a consumer. The consumer reads data from the shared table and outputs it to the console.

producer.cpp

This is a C++ source code file that implements a producer. The producer generates data and writes it to the shared table.

shared.hpp

This is a C++ header file that contains the definition of the table struct to be used by both producer and consumer.

Getting Started

The Fast Way

Simply run the following:

git clone https://github.com/Chris-G32/Assignment1 && cd Assignment1 && bash BashScripts/makeandrun.sh

The Slow Way

To get started with this repository, you will need to clone it to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/Chris-G32/Assignment1

Once you have cloned the repository, you can compile and run the producer and consumer processes. Make sure that you have a C++ compiler installed on your machine.

cd Assignment1
g++ consumer.cpp -pthread -lrt -o consumer
g++ producer.cpp -pthread -lrt -o producer

After compiling, you can run the producer and consumer processes:

./producer & ./consumer &
