notify在java,notify（）调用的位置重要吗？（Java）

Suppose I have the following situation:

synchronized void someMethod() {

...

try {

wait();

}catch(InterruptedException e) {

System.out.println("InterruptedException caught");

}

...

}

and

synchronized void someOtherMethod() {

...

notify();

}

And the Thread accesses first someMethod, goes into wait and then someOtherMethod notifies it and returns to Runnable state. Does the position of the notify() call in the method matter? I noticed no change in behavior even when I positioned the notify() call at different positions inside the method.

Shouldn't the Thread be notified immediately when the call to notify() is made?

The position of the notify() call within the synchronized block does not matter because by definition, if you are still in the synchronized block, then you still hold the lock.

Shouldn't the Thread be notified immediately when the call to notify() is made?

Yes. Calling notify() puts one of the threads (if any) from the wait queue (waiting for the condition) into the blocked queue (waiting for the lock). This does happen immediately, but the awoken thread needs to get the lock before it can start running. So it is immediately moved out of the wait queue but is still waiting to get the lock.

Btw, I would recommend writing this as this.wait() and this.notify() just to be explicit about which object is being affected.
