有人能告诉我同步方法比同步块的优势与一个例子吗?

来自Java规范摘要: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/javaspec/17.doc.html

The synchronized statement (§14.17) computes a reference to an object; it then attempts to perform a lock action on that object and does not proceed further until the lock action has successfully completed. ... A synchronized method (§8.4.3.5) automatically performs a lock action when it is invoked; its body is not executed until the lock action has successfully completed. If the method is an instance method, it locks the lock associated with the instance for which it was invoked (that is, the object that will be known as this during execution of the body of the method). If the method is static, it locks the lock associated with the Class object that represents the class in which the method is defined. ...

基于这些描述,我想说以前的大多数答案都是正确的,同步方法可能对静态方法特别有用,否则您必须弄清楚如何获得“表示定义方法的类的Class对象”。

In general these are mostly the same other than being explicit about the object's monitor that's being used vs the implicit this object. One downside of synchronized methods that I think is sometimes overlooked is that in using the "this" reference to synchronize on you are leaving open the possibility of external objects locking on the same object. That can be a very subtle bug if you run into it. Synchronizing on an internal explicit Object or other existing field can avoid this issue, completely encapsulating the synchronization.

唯一的区别是:同步块允许颗粒状锁定,不像同步方法

基本上同步块或方法被用来编写线程安全的代码,以避免内存不一致的错误。

这个问题很老了,在过去的7年里,很多事情都发生了变化。 为了线程安全,引入了新的编程结构。

您可以通过使用高级并发API而不是同步块来实现线程安全。该文档页提供了实现线程安全的良好编程结构。

锁对象支持简化许多并发应用程序的锁定习惯用法。

executor为启动和管理线程定义了高级API。concurrent提供的执行器实现提供了适合大型应用程序的线程池管理。

并发集合使管理大型数据集合变得更容易,并且可以大大减少同步的需要。

原子变量具有最小化同步和帮助避免内存一致性错误的特性。

ThreadLocalRandom(在JDK 7中)提供了从多个线程有效生成伪随机数的功能。

更好的synchronized替代品是ReentrantLock,它使用Lock API

一个可重入互斥锁,其基本行为和语义与使用同步方法和语句访问的隐式监视锁相同,但具有扩展功能。

锁的例子:

class X {
   private final ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock();
   // ...

   public void m() {
     lock.lock();  // block until condition holds
     try {
       // ... method body
     } finally {
       lock.unlock()
     }
   }
 }

其他编程结构也可以参考java.util.concurrent和java.util.concurrent.atomic包。

参考这个相关的问题:

同步vs锁定

注意:静态同步方法和块工作在Class对象上。

public class MyClass {
   // locks MyClass.class
   public static synchronized void foo() {
// do something
   }

   // similar
   public static void foo() {
      synchronized(MyClass.class) {
// do something
      }
   }
}

在同步方法的情况下,锁将在对象上获得。但是如果你使用同步块,你可以选择指定一个对象来获取锁。

例子:

    Class Example {
    String test = "abc";
    // lock will be acquired on String  test object.
    synchronized (test) {
        // do something
    }

   lock will be acquired on Example Object
   public synchronized void testMethod() {
     // do some thing
   } 

   }

关于使用同步块的重要提示:小心你使用的锁对象!

上面user2277816的代码片段说明了这一点,将字符串字面值的引用用作锁定对象。 意识到字符串字面值在Java中是自动互缩的,您应该开始看到问题所在:在字面值“锁”上同步的每段代码都共享同一个锁!这很容易导致完全不相关的代码段发生死锁。

您需要注意的不仅仅是String对象。装箱的原语也是一种危险,因为autoboxing和valueOf方法可以重用相同的对象,这取决于值。
