When a c++ program ends with return 0; the process has:

Exited normally

Exited with an error

Exited due to division by 0

Is still running in the background

Was killed by a parent process (process with PID=PPID)

In what case a process can go from ready to blocked?

Interprocess communication issues arise when:

Processes pass information to each other

Processes get into each others way

Processes are dependent on each other

There is a deadlock

Processes fail to load so they block each other

The Operating System cannot schedule processes

Ther eis no dispatcher on the operating system

A critical region is

A shared resource that two processes try to grab

A region that is critical and processes cannot access it

A region that is critical and processes cannot continue running without using it

It is defined as mutual exclusion with busy waiting

A region that can be accessed only through interrupts

A region that can be accessed only by the operating system

What problem the following code causes:

while(true)

{

while(lock==true)

{

use_shared_resource();

release_shared_resource();

}

Mutual exclusion with busy waiting

Deadlocks
