    pthread_join(tid1, NULL);
    pthread_join(tid2, NULL);
    return 0;
}

编译:

gcc thread_test.c -pthread -g

gdb attach上去

sudo gdb -pid=6005

有3个线程

切到线程2(LWP 6006)

(gdb) thread 2
[Switching to thread 2 (Thread 0x7fb7757a8700 (LWP 6006))]

135    ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/lowlevellock.S: No such file or directory.

看下backtrace

(gdb) bt

从#2看出在child1处出现问题，查看代码

(gdb) l child1
5    
6    pthread_mutex_t mutex_1;
7    pthread_mutex_t mutex_2;
8    
9    void *child1(void* arg)
10    {
11        printf("Thread1 is running\n");
12        while (1) {
13            pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex_1);
14            sleep(3);
(gdb) 
15            pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex_2);
16            pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex_2);
17            pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex_1);
18            sleep(5);
19        }
20    }

看出15行pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex_2)，在等mutex_2，看下mutex_2的owner是谁

(gdb) p mutex_2
$1 = {__data = {__lock = 2, __count = 0, __owner = 6007, __nusers = 1, __kind = 0, __spins = 0, __elision = 0, __list = {__prev = 0x0, __next = 0x0}}, 
  __size = "\002\000\000\000\000\000\000\000w\027\000\000\001", '\000' <repeats 26 times>, __align = 2}

__owner = 6007 是线程3，切到线程3

(gdb) thread 3

19        }
20    }
21    
22    void *child2(void* arg)
23    {
24        printf("Thread2 is running\n");
25        while (1) {
26            pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex_2);
27            sleep(3);
(gdb) 
28            pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex_1);

31            sleep(5);
32        }
33    }
34    
35    int main()
36    {
37        //sleep(10);
(gdb) p mutex_1
$2 = {__data = {__lock = 2, __count = 0, __owner = 6006, __nusers = 1, __kind = 0, __spins = 0, __elision = 0, __list = {__prev = 0x0, __next = 0x0}}, 
  __size = "\002\000\000\000\000\000\000\000v\027\000\000\001", '\000' <repeats 26 times>, __align = 2}

__owner = 6006 是线程2

说明6006（线程2）在等mutex_2, mutex_2被6007（线程3）拿着， 6007（线程3）在等mutex_1，mutex_1被6006（线程2）拿着 成了死锁了。
