Olá, desculpe por postar um grande despejo de código, mas sou muito novo no código C, basicamente estou fazendo uma tarefa para a faculdade e tenho que implementar um "pthread_barrier", agora entendo o conceito de barreira (ou pelo menos acho que sim) Mas não sei exatamente onde devo colocá-lo. A atribuição declara:

"Use pthread_barrier_init e pthread_barrier_wait para garantir que todos os threads de produtor / consumidor comecem a produzir / consumir ao mesmo tempo."

Esta é a parte de crédito extra da atribuição, a propósito
