Question 3
|
Consider the following two threads T1 and T2 that update two shared variables a and b. Assume that initially a=b=1. Though context switching between threads can happen at any time, each statement of T1 or T2 is executed atomically without interruption.
T1
a=a+1
b=b+1
T2
b=2*b
a=2*a
Which one of the following options lists all the possible combinations of values of a and b after both T1 and T2 finish execution?
|
(a = 4, b = 4); (a = 3, b = 3); (a = 4, b = 3)
|
|
|
(a = 3, b = 4); (a = 4, b = 3); (a = 3, b = 3)
|
|
|
(a = 4, b = 4); (a = 4, b = 3); (a = 3, b = 4)
|
|
|
(a = 2, b = 2); (a = 2, b = 3); (a = 3, b = 4)
