QuestionWhen is it safe to use Monitor (lock) with Task? Pin
Bernhard Hiller18-Jan-17 2:34

In a multi-threaded environment, we must take of concurrent access to writable resources. A common approach is to use Monitor or its shorthand form lock.

Task is at a different abstraction level than Thread. A task may run on a thread of its own (and according to the logs, they do so in our application), but that is not guaranteed. See e.g. c# - What is the difference between task and thread? - Stack Overflow[^]:
If the value you are waiting for comes from the filesystem or a database or the network, then there is no need for a thread to sit around and wait for the data when it can be servicing other requests. Instead, the Task might register a callback to receive the value(s) when they're ready.
That is, that kind of Task somehow shares a Thread with other running code (I must admit that I do not understand how that works in detail, currently it looks to me like a specialization of the "famous" DoEvents).

Consequently, Monitor won't be able to distinguish between them, and - because Monitor can be re-entrant - allow both of them access the resource. That is, Monitor "fails".

Examples with Threads typically use Monitor nonetheless. So I want to ask how I can be sure that Monitor is safe with a Task (or: how can I be sure that a Task is running on a Thread of its own).
