实习环境：
系统为Windows XP + VC 6.0
实习目标：
在Windows XP下创建一个控制台进程，该进程应包含n个线程。用这n个线程来表示n个读者或写者。每个线程按相应测试数据文件(后面介绍)的要求进行读写操作。用信号量机制分别实现读者优先和写者优先的读者-写者问题。
读者-写者问题的操作限制(包括读者优先和写者优先)：
1）写-写互斥，即不能有两个写者同时进行写操作。
2）读-写互斥，即不能同时有一个线程在读，而另一个线程在写。
3）读-读互斥，即可以有一个或多个读者在读。
读者优先的附加限制：如果一个读者申请进行读操作时已有另一个读者正在进行读操作，则该读者可直接开始读操作。
写者优先的附加限制：如果一个读者申请进行读操作时已有另一个写者在等待访问共享资源，则该读者必须等到没有写者出于等待状态后才能开始读操作。
测试文件格式说明，下面是一个测试数据文件的例子：
1 R 3 5
2 W 4 5
3 R 5 2
4 R 6 5
5 W 5.1 3
6 R 15 4
7 R 15 4

运行结果：
结果分析：
Writer thread 2 sents the write require.
当写者2发出申请时，有读者1在读文件，所以写者2阻塞。
Reader thread 3 sents the reading require.
Reader thread 3 begins to read file.
读者3发出申请后，立刻得到满足。
读者6和读者7发送请求时已没有读者线程，所以他们被安排在写者线程完成写操作后读文件。
习题：
用P,V操作实现多个生产者-消费者问题。
有兴趣的话可以做一下这个习题，加深对线程，同步及互斥的理解，我将在以后的内容中给出我的想法。
