Write a program that will surely go into deadlock [closed]

Answer 1

I've rewritten Yuriy Zubarev's Java version of the deadlock example posted by Eric Lippert: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9286697/2098232 to more closely resemble the C# version. If the Java's initialization block works similarily to C# static constructor and first acquires the lock we don't need another thread to also invoke the join method to get a deadlock, it only needs to invoke some static method from Lock class, like the original C# example. Resulting deadlock seems to confirm this.

public class Lock {

    static {
        System.out.println("Getting ready to greet the world");
        try {
            Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable(){

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    Lock.initialize();
                }

            });
            t.start();
            t.join();
        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            System.out.println("won't see me");
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }

    public static void initialize(){
        System.out.println("Initializing");
    }

}
