Simple Deadlock Examples

Question

I would like to explain threading deadlocks to newbies. I have seen many examples for deadlocks in the past, some using code and some using illustrations (like the famous 4

Answer 1

public class DeadLock {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Object resource1 = new Object();
        Object resource2 = new Object();
        SharedObject s = new SharedObject(resource1, resource2);
        TestThread11 t1 = new TestThread11(s);
        TestThread22 t2 = new TestThread22(s);
        t1.start();
        t2.start();
    }

}

class SharedObject {
    Object o1, o2;
    SharedObject(Object o1, Object o2) {
        this.o1 = o1;
        this.o2 = o2;
    }
    void m1() {
        synchronized(o1) {
            System.out.println("locked on o1 from m1()");
            synchronized(o2) { 
                System.out.println("locked on o2 from m1()");
            }
        }
    }
    void m2() {
        synchronized(o2) {
            System.out.println("locked on o2 from m2()");
            synchronized(o1) { 
                System.out.println("locked on o1 from m2()");
            }
        }
    }
}

class TestThread11 extends Thread {
    SharedObject s;
    TestThread11(SharedObject s) {
        this.s = s;
    }
    public void run() {
        s.m1();
    }
}

class TestThread22 extends Thread {
    SharedObject s;
    TestThread22(SharedObject s) {
        this.s = s;
    }
    public void run() {
        s.m2();
    }
