为什么锁{this}不好?

c#

MSDN文档说,

public class SomeObject
{
  public void SomeOperation()
  {
    lock(this)
    {
      //Access instance variables
    }
  }
}

是“是否可以公开访问该实例的问题”。我想知道为什么吗?是因为锁的持有时间超过了必要?还是还有其他更阴险的原因?

this在锁语句中使用它是一种不好的形式,因为通常是您无法控制的其他人可能会锁定该对象。

为了正确计划并行操作,应格外小心,以考虑可能的死锁情况,并且锁入口点的数量未知会阻止这种情况。例如,任何引用对象的人都可以在对象设计者/创建者不知道它的情况下锁定它。这增加了多线程解决方案的复杂性,并可能影响其正确性。

通常,私有字段是一个更好的选择,因为编译器将强制对其进行访问限制,并且它将封装锁定机制。使用this通过向公众公开您的锁定实现的一部分来违反封装。同样不清楚的是,this除非已记录,否则是否将获得锁定。即使那样,依靠文档来防止问题也不是很理想。

最后,存在一个普遍的误解,lock(this)实际上是修改了作为参数传递的对象,并以某种方式使其变为只读或不可访问。这是 错误的
。作为参数传递的对象lock仅用作 。如果该键上已经有锁,则无法进行该锁;否则,将允许锁定。

这就是为什么在lock语句中使用字符串作为键很不好的原因,因为它们是不可变的,并且可以在应用程序的各个部分之间共享/访问。您应该改用私有变量,Object实例可以很好地完成任务。

运行以下C#代码作为示例。

public class Person
{
    public int Age { get; set;  }
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public void LockThis()
    {
        lock (this)
        {
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
        }
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var nancy = new Person {Name = "Nancy Drew", Age = 15};
        var a = new Thread(nancy.LockThis);
        a.Start();
        var b = new Thread(Timewarp);
        b.Start(nancy);
        Thread.Sleep(10);
        var anotherNancy = new Person { Name = "Nancy Drew", Age = 50 };
        var c = new Thread(NameChange);
        c.Start(anotherNancy);
        a.Join();
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    static void Timewarp(object subject)
    {
        var person = subject as Person;
        if (person == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("subject");
        // A lock does not make the object read-only.
        lock (person.Name)
        {
            while (person.Age <= 23)
            {
                // There will be a lock on 'person' due to the LockThis method running in another thread
                if (Monitor.TryEnter(person, 10) == false)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("'this' person is locked!");
                }
                else Monitor.Exit(person);
                person.Age++;
                if(person.Age == 18)
                {
                    // Changing the 'person.Name' value doesn't change the lock...
                    person.Name = "Nancy Smith";
                }
                Console.WriteLine("{0} is {1} years old.", person.Name, person.Age);
            }
        }
    }

    static void NameChange(object subject)
    {
        var person = subject as Person;
        if (person == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("subject");
        // You should avoid locking on strings, since they are immutable.
        if (Monitor.TryEnter(person.Name, 30) == false)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Failed to obtain lock on 50 year old Nancy, because Timewarp(object) locked on string \"Nancy Drew\".");
        }
        else Monitor.Exit(person.Name);

        if (Monitor.TryEnter("Nancy Drew", 30) == false)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Failed to obtain lock using 'Nancy Drew' literal, locked by 'person.Name' since both are the same object thanks to inlining!");
        }
        else Monitor.Exit("Nancy Drew");
        if (Monitor.TryEnter(person.Name, 10000))
        {
            string oldName = person.Name;
            person.Name = "Nancy Callahan";
            Console.WriteLine("Name changed from '{0}' to '{1}'.", oldName, person.Name);
        }
        else Monitor.Exit(person.Name);
    }
}
