How do you handle threads?

Is there a question here?

#3

if i don’t pressed any btn , the loop ()will stop? waiting for i pressed btn?

#4

and if f() take the mutex , g() will waitting for next loop’s mutex.give()?

Vision debugging is very, very cumbersome.
I plan to write a convenient debugging tool for students.
Vision is a separate thread whose loop time is controlled at 20 ms
But the lvgl thread cycle time is 100 ms.
I plan to use mutexes to solve the asynchronous problem.
But he always breaks down.I’m analyzing the reasons.

Not sure if your early school teachers did this, but imagine a classroom where you’re having a discussion. Only one student is allowed to speak at a time, and that student is determined by whomever is holding a designated ball. Students can request the ball. If they get the ball, they can give it up and let someone else take it.

You can think of a mutex operating in a similar manner. I’ll try to type up a more concrete example if you need it when I get to my computer (and not my phone).

i want the loop() will always running.
if i will get a or b , he will give me the latest data.

void loop ()
{ 
     while (1)
          {
               uint32_t now = pros::millis();
                bool flag=false;
                a++;
               b+=a;
               flag=true;
              pros::Task::delay_until(&now, 100);
            }
}

void f()
{  
        if(flag)
          {    
                std::cout<<a;
                last_a =a;
          }
       else 
          std::cout<<last_a;
}

The example you shared won’t compile… or at least not the way you think it will.

I like @sazrocks’s example here. It demonstrates what you had shared at some point before you edited your post…

My home computer does not have their source code. Many of them are just pseudo-codes that I temporarily simulate. My English is not very good. Sometimes I feel that the code can be expressed more clearly.

I tested it today, and I think pros or vex os seem to have finished thread safety.
If it only interacts with the main thread, Mutexes are not much needed.
