In the video, I explained the concept of deadlocks in multi-threaded programs and demonstrated how they occur. I used a cloud-based IDE called Replit to showcase examples. Deadlocks can freeze a program, leading to ungraceful exits. I discussed strategies to handle deadlocks, such as killing threads or restarting processes. Additionally, I explored ways to prevent deadlocks by imposing total ordering on resource acquisitions. By doing so, the program can avoid entering a deadlock state altogether. The importance of maintaining a resource allocation graph for deadlock avoidance was also highlighted.
