Deadlock detection

Post by malex »

Borland OptimizeIt has a nice feature: deadlock detection. It shows graphically locked threads and gives you the place in code where deadlock has occured. Sometimes such a feature is indispensable. Is it possible to implement it in YourKit? Does it make sense?

Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words.

Regarding deadlock detection: of course this is a nice feature and it makes sense. Definitely we'll implement it in the future.

BTW, JDK 5.0 already has good enough built-in deadlock detector: just press Ctrl+Break in Java console (or kill -3 PID under Linux) and JVM prints very useful text information about found deadlocks.
