As mentioned by others, a deadlock is typically the result of a situation where each process/thread wishes to acquire a lock to a resource that is already locked by another (or even the same) process/thread. An example of this is the windows ui thread or the asp.net request context What is a deadlock in sql server and when it arises
New Deadlock Leak Reveals 10 New Heroes, Updated Visuals, and Secret
What are the issues with deadlock and how to resolve it?
0 deadlock occurs mainly when there are multiple dependent locks exist
In a thread and another thread tries to lock the mutex in reverse order occurs One should pay attention to use a mutex to avoid deadlocks Be sure to complete the operation after releasing the lock. Can somebody please explain with examples (of code) what is the difference between deadlock and livelock?
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 cars) What is the difference between a dead lock and a race around condition in programming terms? A deadlock detected by the database will effectively rollback the transaction in which you were running (if any), while the connection is kept open in.net
Retrying that operation (in that same connection), means it will be executed in a transactionless context and this could lead to data corruption
It's important to be aware of this. On my blog, i go into the details of how blocking in asynchronous code causes deadlock Await will asynchronously wait until the task completes This means the current method is paused (its state is captured) and the method returns an incomplete task to its caller.
