<p>Methods and apparatus for enabling the association between a monitor and an object to be maintained when a garbage collection occurs during a wait action performed with respect to the object are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for acquiring access to an object in a multi-threaded, object-based system includes associating a monitor with the object, and setting a pointer from a thread, which is arranged to execute on the object, to the object. The method also includes setting a reference substantially directly from the thread to the monitor. In one embodiment, setting the reference includes setting a boolean reference count. In another embodiment, setting the reference enables a garbage collector to determine whether the monitor is suitable for reclamation during a garbage collection process.</p> |
