I could not find anything to explain this situation in detail, about race conditions.

  • Yes. Multithreaded programs on mainstream CPUs only run one instruction at a time (well, grossly speaking). The race conditions occur when the sequence of singly-executed instructions (again, grossly speaking) interleave in conflicting ways. – user2864740 Oct 07 '20 at 00:37
  • Can you clarify what you mean by running one instruction at a time? @user2864740 is right, but I suspect that's not what you meant. – Kevin Krumwiede Oct 07 '20 at 00:42

    This explains it pretty good: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34510/what-is-a-race-condition – Vlad Feinstein Oct 07 '20 at 00:44
  • @KevinKrumwiede yes, When a computer is being developed, it is usually simulated first by a program that executes one instruction at a time. Even multiprocessors are simulated strictly sequentially in the same way. Is it possible for a competing condition to occur even though there are no simultaneous events as in this case? – revilo zednem Oct 07 '20 at 00:44
