dining-philosophers

A commented example of solving the dining philosophers multithreading problem.

Description of the dining philosophers problem.

The dinner philosophers problem consists of a round table where N number of philosophers are seated, every philosopher has a fork on each side that they are supposed to share with their neighbours to eat a spaghetti that can only eated by the usage of two forks.

The problem consists on achieving the table to be able to continuously eat without getting stuck in a deadlock without the chance of philosophers to talk between themselves.

Description of the solution.

For the solution I inspired on the Dijkstra's solution but using the OOP nature of C++ to make it more readable and near to the natural language.

The code is commented in its tricky parts in order to make the solution easier to understand.
