What are common reasons for deadlocks?

Question

Deadlocks are hard to find and very uncomfortable to remove.

How can I find error sources for deadlocks in my code? Are there any \"deadlock patterns\"?

Answer 1

Yes - deadlocks occur when processes try to acquire resources in random order. If all your processes try to acquire the same resources in the same order, the possibilities for deadlocks are greatly reduced, if not eliminated.

Of course, this is not always easy to arrange...
