Hi,
Hope this question makes sense. =)
I have an object, and a wrapper for that object that implements a
synchronized view (similar to getting a synchronized ArrayList).
What I'm wondering is, if I need to lock all methods? Here's an example:
I have 3 versions of an IndexOf method:
public override void IndexOf(object value) {
return IndexOf(object value, 0)
}
public override void IndexOf(object value, int startIndex) {
return IndexOf(object value, 0, __innerObject.__count);
}
public override void IndexOf(object value, int startIndex, int count) {
lock (__innerObject) {
return (__innerObject.IndexOf(value, startIndex, count);
}
}
is it possible, if i don't lock all the IndexOf methods, that i could get
unexpected results? Or will I be fine since I end up calling a method that
is locked?
Thanks,
Curtis 2 1491
Hi,
It is possible to get unexpected results, because access to
__innerObject.__count instance variable isn't serialized. If another thread
changed value of __innerObject.__count before the first thread redirects the
call to the synchronized method, the count parameter will have invalid
value.

As Andrew said, this is a possible sync issue. To avoid having to lock the
same lock multiple times, have your public methods lock the sync object and
call a new private method with the (object value, int startIndex, int count)
signature. The private method, will not be "locked" but will need to be
called in a locked context (i.e. from one of your public methods.)
