The decrease count () function in the previous exercise currently returns 0 if sufficient resources are available and −1 otherwise. This leads to awkward programming for a process that wishes to obtain a number of resources: while (decease_count(count) == -1) ; Rewrite the resource-manager code segment using a monitor and condition variables so that the decrease count() function suspends the process until sufficient resources are available. This will allow a process to invoke decrease_count () by simply calling decrease_count (count) ; The process will return from this function call only when sufficient resources are available.
Solution
Verifieda) - available_resources
b) - comparison in both functions, increasing the value in increase_count and decreasing the value in decrease_count
c) - We can use a mutex to restrict access to available_resources.
