Re: Can Netbeans do this?
Hi again. Thanks for your feedback so far... I wasn't actually thinking of using the profiler - it was a simple variation on "find usages" specifically intended for finding on locks obtained for a specific type. Sometimes, I find I need to look for every point where a particular type is being locked and the best that I know how to find out is to scan (Ctrl-Shift-F) for "synchronized" in all my open projects. This exercise can be quite time consuming and confusing owing to the fact that I obtain locks on quite a few different types. Hence, I'm looking for a variant of "find usages" that will allow me to find all the places where a lock is obtained on a variable of a specific type. If NB cannot currently do this, it would be a great help to have it in a future version.
Re: Can Netbeans do this?
I agree that the debugger can do this, but it isn't easy. You'd have to go thread and thread and manually check the entire stack-trace for locks. I was also hoping that the IDE would make it easier to visualize this information. As an aside, the profiler has a view you might find more useful. I believe it is called "Thread instrumentation" or "Lock instrumentation". Either way, it shows you which locks each thread is holding, and waiting on. That, again, is moving in the right direction but not the full picture either. I think what is missing is a lock-centric view, where you have a list of locks and the sub-nodes are the threads interacting on them. This would make it easier to see (for example) that a lock is a point of contention (blocking a lot of threads). Gili On 2018-02-26 6:52 AM, Antonio wrote: AFAIK the debugger can do this.
