If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

CSHARP.CONCURRENCY.STARVE.BLOCKING : Blocking in Critical Section (C#)

要旨

A blocking call occurs inside a synchronization block, hence increasing monitor contention and reducing performance.

Concurrency is an important but complex aspect of modern software. As a consequence, it is often used in an incorrect way, also because the subtleties of the C# memory model are not always understood. This checker identifies a large class of common programming errors due to incorrect uses of concurrency primitives, such as incorrect implementations of the singleton pattern and incorrect uses of the volatile field modifier, whose goal is to publish a field update to all executing cores. The latter, however, has a cost in terms of execution time.

public class Sleepyhead  
{

  private static readonly object syncLock = new object();

  public Sleepyhead() { }


  public void ZzZ()
  {
  
    lock (syncLock) 
    {
      Thread.Sleep(500);                                    // "Blocking in Critical Section (C#)" warning issued here 
    }

  }
  
   public void PrintDream() 
   {
  
    lock (syncLock) 
    {
    
     for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
      Console.WriteLine("A Midsummer Night's Dream\n\\n"    // "Blocking in Critical Section (C#)" warning issued here 
            + "*Theseus*:\n"
            +"\t"+  "Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour\n"
            +"\t"+  "Draws on apace; four happy days bring in\n"
            +"\t"+  "Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow\n"
            +"\t"+  "This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires,\n"
            +"\t"+  "Like to a step-dame or a dowager\n"
            +"\t"+  "Long withering out a young man revenue.\n"
            + "*Hippolyta*:\n"
                // ...
       );
    }

  }
  
  // ...

}

To solve this issues, the programmer should handle the heavy Thread.Sleep() and Console.WriteLine() methods asynchronously outside the synchronized body.

解決法

Check if the warnings correspond to actual possible errors for a concurrent execution of the program.
