This program implements a multithreaded C++ solution to the Bounded Buffer Problem (also known as the Producer-Consumer Problem).

Run make to compile the program, then execute the compiled program by running ./bbp.out with three arguments. The first argument is the number of seconds the program will sleep before timing out and terminating. The second argument is the number of producer threads to create. The third and final argument is the number of consumer threads to create. For instance:

# Create 2 producers and 3 consumers, timing out after 10 seconds
./bbp.out 10 2 3

When a producer inserts a value or when a consumer removes a value, the respective thread will display the operation, value, and new buffer contents. For example:

produce 5 => [5]
consume 5 => []
produce 3 => [3]
produce 8 => [3, 8]
