lock 关键字将语句块标记为临界区，方法是获取给定对象的互斥锁，执行语句，然后释放该锁。此语句的形式如下：

	复制代码
Object thisLock = new Object(); lock (thisLock) { // Critical code section. }

有关更多信息，请参见线程同步（C# 编程指南）。

备注

lock 关键字可确保当一个线程位于代码的临界区时，另一个线程不会进入该临界区。如果其他线程试图进入锁定的代码，则它将一直等待（即被阻止），直到该对象被释放。

线程处理（C# 编程指南）这节讨论了线程处理。

lock 关键字在块的开始处调用 Enter，而在块的结尾处调用 Exit。

通常，应避免锁定 public 类型，否则实例将超出代码的控制范围。常见的结构 lock (this)、lock (typeof (MyType)) 和 lock ("myLock") 违反此准则：

如果实例可以被公共访问，将出现 lock (this) 问题。
如果 MyType 可以被公共访问，将出现 lock (typeof (MyType)) 问题。
由于进程中使用同一字符串的任何其他代码都将共享同一个锁，所以出现 lock(“myLock”) 问题。

最佳做法是定义 private 对象来锁定, 或 private static 对象变量来保护所有实例所共有的数据。

示例

下面演示在 C# 中使用未锁定的线程的简单示例。

C#	复制代码
//using System.Threading; class ThreadTest { public void RunMe() { Console.WriteLine("RunMe called"); } static void Main() { ThreadTest b = new ThreadTest(); Thread t = new Thread(b.RunMe); t.Start(); } } // Output: RunMe called

复制代码

//using System.Threading;

class ThreadTest
{
    public void RunMe()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("RunMe called");
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        ThreadTest b = new ThreadTest();
        Thread t = new Thread(b.RunMe);
        t.Start();
    }
}
// Output: RunMe called

下例使用线程和 lock。只要 lock 语句存在，语句块就是临界区并且 balance 永远不会是负数。

C#	复制代码
// using System.Threading; class Account { private Object thisLock = new Object(); int balance; Random r = new Random(); public Account(int initial) { balance = initial; } int Withdraw(int amount) { // This condition will never be true unless the lock statement // is commented out: if (balance < 0) { throw new Exception("Negative Balance"); } // Comment out the next line to see the effect of leaving out // the lock keyword: lock (thisLock) { if (balance >= amount) { Console.WriteLine("Balance before Withdrawal : " + balance); Console.WriteLine("Amount to Withdraw : -" + amount); balance = balance - amount; Console.WriteLine("Balance after Withdrawal : " + balance); return amount; } else { return 0; // transaction rejected } } } public void DoTransactions() { for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { Withdraw(r.Next(1, 100)); } } } class Test { static void Main() { Thread[] threads = new Thread[10]; Account acc = new Account(1000); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(acc.DoTransactions)); threads[i] = t; } for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { threads[i].Start(); } } }

复制代码

// using System.Threading;

class Account
{
    private Object thisLock = new Object();
    int balance;

    Random r = new Random();

    public Account(int initial)
    {
        balance = initial;
    }

    int Withdraw(int amount)
    {

        // This condition will never be true unless the lock statement
        // is commented out:
        if (balance < 0)
        {
            throw new Exception("Negative Balance");
        }

        // Comment out the next line to see the effect of leaving out 
        // the lock keyword:
        lock (thisLock)
        {
            if (balance >= amount)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Balance before Withdrawal :  " + balance);
                Console.WriteLine("Amount to Withdraw        : -" + amount);
                balance = balance - amount;
                Console.WriteLine("Balance after Withdrawal  :  " + balance);
                return amount;
            }
            else
            {
                return 0; // transaction rejected
            }
        }
    }

    public void DoTransactions()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            Withdraw(r.Next(1, 100));
        }
    }
}

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Thread[] threads = new Thread[10];
        Account acc = new Account(1000);
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(acc.DoTransactions));
            threads[i] = t;
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            threads[i].Start();
        }
    }
}
