Thread Validator - Locks Summary

The locks summary view shows summary information for all critical sections in the application. Also shown is information about any wait events in progress. Each critical section is shown once, indicating the current state of the critical section regardless of which threads are using the critical section.

Each entry is colour coded to indicate activity, contention, recursion, misc errors, potential deadlocks and deadlock conditions.

In the picture shown below, the colour coding is as follows:

• Red. The entries in red show critical sections that are involved in a deadlock
• Purple. The entries in purple show critical sections that have thread locking errors
• Yellow. The entries in yellow show critical sections that have been involved in contention between threads
• Aqua. The entries in aqua show critical sections that are have re-entered themselves whilst locked
• Grey. The entries in grey show critical sections that have been used
