An administrator discovers random corruption errors in a high-volume transaction application whenever multiple threads write to the same area of memory. The development team recommends using thread-safe functions as part of the rebuild. Which approach best resolves these concurrency challenges?
Capture activity with detailed logs to identify overlapping writes
Toggle concurrency settings to allow simultaneous writes to the same segment
Switch the program to a single-threaded procedure for data modifications
Incorporate synchronization mechanisms that regulate memory access across active threads
Coordinating data access is a key principle in multi-threaded development. Synchronization routines ensure updates to shared memory are organized, preventing race conditions and data corruption. Global variables do not address concurrency, logs only record problems after they occur, and forcing a single-threaded workflow undermines performance in a high-demand environment.
