Answer from AI
Mutual blocking (Deadlock) in two threads can be detected using the following methods:
- Code analysis: check if threads acquire resources in different orders, which can lead to cyclic waiting.
- Using profiling and debugging tools: for example, in Java, you can use
jstackto obtain a thread dump and see which locks are held and which are waiting. - Logging lock acquisition and release: add logs when entering and exiting synchronized blocks or when using
Lock.
Example of using jstack:
jstack <pid> > threaddump.txt
In the threaddump.txt file, you can find threads in the BLOCKED state and see which objects they are waiting for, to identify mutual blocking.
