主要的区别是，如果你使用同步块，你可以锁定一个对象，而不是这个，这允许更灵活。

假设您有一个消息队列和多个消息生产者和消费者。我们不希望生产者相互干扰，但是消费者应该能够检索消息，而不必等待生产者。 我们只需要创建一个对象

Object writeLock = new Object();

从现在开始，每当制作人想要添加一条新信息时，我们就会锁定它:

synchronized(writeLock){
  // do something
}

因此，消费者可能仍会阅读，而生产者将被锁定。

我想这个问题是关于线程安全单例和带有双重检查锁定的惰性初始化之间的区别。当我需要实现某些特定的单例时，我总是会参考这篇文章。

这是一个线程安全单例:

// Java program to create Thread Safe 
// Singleton class 
public class GFG  
{ 
  // private instance, so that it can be 
  // accessed by only by getInstance() method 
  private static GFG instance; 

  private GFG()  
  { 
    // private constructor 
  } 

 //synchronized method to control simultaneous access 
  synchronized public static GFG getInstance()  
  { 
    if (instance == null)  
    { 
      // if instance is null, initialize 
      instance = new GFG(); 
    } 
    return instance; 
  } 
} 

优点: 延迟初始化是可能的。 它是线程安全的。 缺点: getInstance()方法是同步的，因此它会导致性能变慢，因为多个线程不能同时访问它。

这是一个带有双重检查锁定的Lazy初始化:

// Java code to explain double check locking 
public class GFG  
{ 
  // private instance, so that it can be 
  // accessed by only by getInstance() method 
  private static GFG instance; 

  private GFG()  
  { 
    // private constructor 
  } 

  public static GFG getInstance() 
  { 
    if (instance == null)  
    { 
      //synchronized block to remove overhead 
      synchronized (GFG.class) 
      { 
        if(instance==null) 
        { 
          // if instance is null, initialize 
          instance = new GFG(); 
        } 

      } 
    } 
    return instance; 
  } 
} 

优点: 延迟初始化是可能的。 它也是线程安全的。 克服了synchronized关键字导致的性能下降。 缺点: 第一次，它会影响性能。 由于双止回锁方法的缺点是可以承受的，所以可以 用于高性能多线程应用程序。

在实际应用中，同步方法相对于同步块的优势在于它们更能抵抗白痴;因为您不能选择任意对象来锁定，所以您不能滥用synchronized方法语法来做一些愚蠢的事情，比如锁定字符串文字或锁定从线程下面更改的可变字段的内容。

另一方面，使用同步方法，您无法保护锁不被任何可以获得对象引用的线程获取。

因此，在方法上使用synchronized作为修饰符可以更好地保护你的奶牛免受伤害，而将synchronized块与私有final锁对象结合使用则可以更好地保护你自己的代码免受奶牛的伤害。

Synchronizing with threads. 1) NEVER use synchronized(this) in a thread it doesn't work. Synchronizing with (this) uses the current thread as the locking thread object. Since each thread is independent of other threads, there is NO coordination of synchronization. 2) Tests of code show that in Java 1.6 on a Mac the method synchronization does not work. 3) synchronized(lockObj) where lockObj is a common shared object of all threads synchronizing on it will work. 4) ReenterantLock.lock() and .unlock() work. See Java tutorials for this.

The following code shows these points. It also contains the thread-safe Vector which would be substituted for the ArrayList, to show that many threads adding to a Vector do not lose any information, while the same with an ArrayList can lose information. 0) Current code shows loss of information due to race conditions A) Comment the current labeled A line, and uncomment the A line above it, then run, method loses data but it shouldn't. B) Reverse step A, uncomment B and // end block }. Then run to see results no loss of data C) Comment out B, uncomment C. Run, see synchronizing on (this) loses data, as expected. Don't have time to complete all the variations, hope this helps. If synchronizing on (this), or the method synchronization works, please state what version of Java and OS you tested. Thank you.

/** RaceCondition - Shows that when multiple threads compete for resources 
     thread one may grab the resource expecting to update a particular 
     area but is removed from the CPU before finishing.  Thread one still 
     points to that resource.  Then thread two grabs that resource and 
     completes the update.  Then thread one gets to complete the update, 
     which over writes thread two's work.
     DEMO:  1) Run as is - see missing counts from race condition, Run severa times, values change  
            2) Uncomment "synchronized(countLock){ }" - see counts work
            Synchronized creates a lock on that block of code, no other threads can 
            execute code within a block that another thread has a lock.
        3) Comment ArrayList, unComment Vector - See no loss in collection
            Vectors work like ArrayList, but Vectors are "Thread Safe"

注意:静态同步方法和块工作在Class对象上。

public class MyClass {
   // locks MyClass.class
   public static synchronized void foo() {

   }

   // similar
   public static void foo() {
      synchronized(MyClass.class) {
