Safe Lock Key

[Suanne Forte]

Nothis is not thread safe. To make it thread safe you can use lock on static objects because they are shared between threads, this may cause deadlocks in the code but it can be handle by maintaining proper order for locking. There is a performance cost associated with lock so use it wisely.

No, this is not thread-safe. A.MethodeA and OtherClass.CallToMethodInOtherClass are locking on different objects, so they're not mutually exclusive. If you need to protect the access to the list, don't pass it to external code, keep it private.

Thread-safe snippets of code do not a thread-safe application make. You can combine different thread-safe operations into non-thread-safe operations. Indeed, much non-thread-safe code can be broken down into smaller pieces all of which are thread-safe on their own.

Before going further, the two bits I described as thread-safe are not promised to be by the spec for List. Conservative coding would assume they are not thread-safe rather than depending upon implementation details, but I'm going to depend on the implementation details because it affects the question of how to use locks in an important way:

Because there is code operating on list that is not acquiring the lock on locker first, that code is not prevented from running concurrently with CallToMethodInOtherClass. Now, while list.Count is thread-safe and list[93] is tread-safe,* the combination of the two where we depend on the first to ensure that the second works is not thread-safe. Because code outside the lock can affect list, it's possible for code to call Remove or Clear in between Count assuring us that list[93] would work, and list[93] being called.

Now, if we know that list is only ever added to, that's fine, even if a resize is happening concurrently we'll end up with the value of list[93] either way. If something is writing to list[93] and it's a type that .NET will write to atomically (and int is one such type), we'll end up with either the old one or the new one, just as if we'd locked correctly we'd get the old or the new depending on which thread go the lock first. Again, this is an implementation detail not a specified promise, I'm stating this just to point out how the thread-safety given still results in non thread-safe code.

Moving this toward real code. We shouldn't assume that list.Count and list[93] is threadsafe because we weren't promised they would be and that could change, but even if we did have that promise, those two promises won't add up to a promise that they'd be thread-safe together.

This class is guaranteed to be thread-safe in everything it does. Without depending on any implementation details, there is no method here that will corrupt state or give incorrect results because of what another thread is doing with the same instance. The following code still doesn't work though:

Of course, this makes the locks within ThreadSafeList redundant and just a waste of effort, space, and time. This is the main reason that most classes don't provide thread-safety on their instance members - since you can't meaningfully protect groups of calls on members from within the class, it's a waste of time trying to unless the thread-safety promises are very well specified and useful on their own.

The lock in CallToMethodInOtherClass should be removed unless OtherClass has its own reason for locking internally. It can't make a meaningful promise that it won't be combined in a non-threadsafe way and adding more locks to a program just increases the complexity of analysing it to be sure there are no deadlocks.

Then as long as CallToMethodInOtherClass doesn't store myList somewhere it can be seen by other threads later on, it doesn't matter that CallToMethodInOtherClass isn't thread-safe because the only code that can access myList brings its own guarantee not to call it concurrently with other operations on myList.

When something is described as "thread-safe", know just what it's promising by that, as there are different sorts of promise that fall under "thread-safe" and on its own it just means "I won't put this object into a nonsensical state", which while an important building block, is not a lot on its own.

Lock on groups of operations, with the same lock for each group that'll affect the same data, and guard the access to objects so that there can't possibly be another thread not playing ball with this.

*This is a very limited definition of thread-safe. Calling list[93] on a List where T is a type that will be written and read atomically and we don't know whether it actually has at least 94 items is equally safe whether or not there are other threads operating on it. Of course, the fact that it can throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException in either case is not what most people would consider "safe", but the guarantee we have with multiple threads remains the same as with one. It's that we obtain a stronger guarantee by checking Count in a single thread but not in a multi-thread situation that leads me to describe that as not thread-safe; while that combo still won't corrupt state it can lead to an exception we'd assured ourselves couldn't happen.
