Post-synchronization issues
Next, we're going to talk about three of the key issues that are expected to occur as a result of misusing the control mechanisms. You could experience one or even all of these issues together because they have different root causes:
- New intrinsic issues: Applying control mechanisms may result in having different race conditions or data races. Control mechanisms are to enforce a strict order between instructions, and this may cause newer intrinsic issues to occur. The fact that control mechanisms introduce new interleavings is the basis of experiencing new concurrency-related behaviors and issues. As a consequence of having new race conditions and new data races, new logical errors and crashes can occur. You'll have to go through the employed synchronization techniques and tune them based on your program's logic in order to fix these new issues.
- Starvation: When a task in a concurrent system doesn't have access to a&...
