It doesn't address most of the drawback cited. Notably the fact that
every object have a monitor field, but most of them will not use it.
That could be solved without abandoning object locks. If locking on all
objects is allowed, objects in TLS could simply omit the monitor field.
Locking would then be performed as:
if (object not in TLS) {
insert expensive locking operation here
}
return
Yes, this would introduce an extra conditional jump whenever a lock is
acquired/released, but the overhead is very small compared to the
relatively expensive lock/unlock operation.
I don't understand how that would work. Where would you store the
monitor reference?
