OK, if you run this code below (Console app) you will find that threads will
not always behave in a synchronized fashion, even with a lock
statement, --unless you put a Sleep somewhere in the method passed to
ThreadStart.
Try it, and please prove me wrong.
********
using System;
using System.Threadin g;
namespace TestLockPrivate
{
class Class1
{
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
innerClass2 a = new innerClass2();
a.startme();
innerClass2 b = new innerClass2();
b.startme();
innerClass2 c = new innerClass2();
c.startme();
}
public class innerClass1 {
private object alock = new object();
private static string str = "";
public void foo() {
lock(alock) {
str = Thread.CurrentT hread.GetHashCo de().ToString() ;
if (str !=
Thread.CurrentT hread.GetHashCo de().ToString() ) {
Console.WriteLi ne("str = " + str + "
Thread.CurrentT hread.GetHashCo de().ToString() = " +
Thread.CurrentT hread.GetHashCo de().ToString() );
}
}
}
}
public class innerClass2 {
public Thread t = null;
public void startme() {
t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(thr eadMain));
t.Start();
}
public void threadMain() {
while (true) {
innerClass1 l = new innerClass1();
l.foo();
}
}
}
}
} 2 1697
You are right! I added the static modifier to alock and now it is
synchronized.
But, can you please explain 3) below. I don't understand.

Well, you are wrong :-). 1. Each thread creates an instance of innerClass1 and foo() puts a lock on
the object refered to by alock, but as this object is not shared every thread is free to enter foo(). 2. Otherwise, str is a shared object reference (static) and not protected
by a lock so each thread running foo() is free to toy with str..... 3. Now if you would synchronize access to str, running foo() in such a
closed loop allmost prevents other threads to run at the end of the running threads quota.
Willy.
Thanks for the explanation. It is very interesting to get such a low-level
understanding of what's going on in the processor. BTW, is it a bad thing
for the threads to run much longer then their quantum?

Each thread in the Windows system is allowed to run for an amount of time,
called a quantum (quantum's can vary per thread and OS versions), before Windows interrupts the thread to see whether another
thread (with higher or equal priority) is ready to run. Now if you take a look at your code, you have 3 runable threads (I don't
consider the other threads in the process). While one thread is running the others are ready to run, but the running thread will
run a large amount of it's quantum while holding a shared lock (running foo()) as such preventing the other two threads to run when
scheduled (at the end of the running threads quantum) when the lock is still held (during foo()). The net result is that each thread
will run for a much longer time than it's quantum (seconds i.s.o milliseconds).

I have an application which has some worker threads which often have to stop

Recently I had a new coworker. There is some dispute between us.
The last company he worked for has a special networking programming

In my opinion, such a model means very complicated asynchronous
