Learn how to debug race conditions in C++ and C programming using ThreadSanitizer (TSan) in this 11-minute video tutorial. Discover how this essential tool detects race conditions in multi-threaded applications by identifying when multiple threads access shared memory without proper synchronization. Follow along as Greg Law demonstrates real-world examples showing how TSan traces memory access and flags data races in pthread-based programs. Understand common synchronization mistakes like relying on sleep for thread execution management, and learn how to implement proper locks and mutexes to prevent unpredictable program behavior. The tutorial covers practical TSan configuration options including history size adjustment and flags like halt_on_error, while providing guidance on setting up TSan with both Clang and GCC compilers. Perfect for both beginners and advanced developers looking to create safer, more reliable concurrent software.
