C#

If this thread is not currently blocked in a wait, sleep, or join state, it will be interrupted when it next begins to block.

ThreadInterruptedException is thrown in the interrupted thread, but not until the thread blocks. If the thread never blocks, the exception is never thrown, and thus the thread might complete without ever being interrupted.

void CacheThread(AutoResetEvent notifier)
{
    while(true)
    {
        notifier.WaitOne(); // this will block until notifier's Set method has been called (assumingly by some other thread).
        lock(myobject)
        {
           myobject.DoSomeWorker();
        }
    }
}

I want to wake the thread from my sleep, but not from a lock()-induced sleep.
