notify() -> all of the threads in wait set must exit












1














According to 17.2.4. Interactions of Waits, Notification, and Interruption:




Similarly, notifications cannot be lost due to interrupts. Assume that
a set s of threads is in the wait set of an object m, and another
thread performs a notify on m. Then either:



a) at least one thread in s must return normally from wait, or



b) all of the threads in s must exit wait by throwing
InterruptedException




This surprises me because I know that notify() only wakes up a single thread so b) couldn't happen. The b) option seems to me a completely non-sense because besides implying that notify() is behaving like notifyAll() it's also supposed to interrupt all waiting threads.



Q: is this paragraph wrong? If not then why not?

          all of the threads in s must exit wait by throwing InterruptedException




          This means all threads waiting on s were interrupted.



          b) means that if all threads are interrupted, no thread will wake from wait() normally, due to being interrupted.

          • Thanks, but from where do you deduce that is about the situation when all threads are interrupted?
