Hi,

I want some classification on understanding the context of synchronized
reference:

say

LinkedList queue = new LinkedList();

public Object pop() throws InterruptedException {
   synchronized(queue) {
     while (queue.isEmpty()) {
       queue.wait();
     }
     return queue.removeFirst();
   }
 }

public void put(Object o){queue.add(o);}

public void do(){
  pup();
  put(o);
  put(o);
  pup();
 ..
}

case 1:pop never called
case 2: pop called only once
cass 3: pop/put called many times

I'm wondering, in above 3 cases, what happened to queue in terms of
synchronization?
like,
in case 1, is it queue not synchronized?
in case 2, if queue size always > 0 ; queue not synchronized?

when queue is synchronized in pop, did that imply it synchronized
anywhere in same class?
