We appreciate Entwinkler.de JavaMagazin for translating and publishing our article 'Simulating and troubleshooting deadlocks in Kotlin' in German. It’s an honor to see our work featured in a print magazine, specifically the December 2022 issue, titled 'Simulation und Fehlerbehebung von Deadlocks in Kotlin'.
This post discusses simulating and troubleshooting StackOverflow errors in Kotlin. It explains that such errors occur when a thread's stack exceeds memory limits, demonstrated through a sample program that calls a method recursively. Diagnosis can be manual via logs or automated using the yCrash tool, which captures relevant data for analysis.
This content discusses simulating and troubleshooting thread leaks in Kotlin, focusing on the 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread'. A sample program is provided that creates infinite threads leading to this error. It outlines manual and automated diagnostic methods, with yCrash being highlighted for quick root cause analysis and reporting issues in thread management.
This post explores how threads in Kotlin enter a BLOCKED state when they cannot acquire a lock held by another thread. A sample program demonstrates this scenario with 10 threads attempting to access a synchronized method, causing 9 to be blocked. It also discusses diagnosing BLOCKED threads through manual and automated approaches.
The article explains how to simulate and troubleshoot CPU spikes in Kotlin by creating a program with six threads in an infinite loop. It discusses manual and automated approaches to diagnose CPU spikes, detailing how to capture and analyze thread dumps using the yCrash tool for effective root cause analysis of performance issues.
This post discusses deadlock in multi-threaded applications, specifically in Kotlin. It defines deadlock and provides a practical example using trains on a single track. A sample Kotlin program illustrates how deadlock occurs between two threads. Troubleshooting deadlock involves capturing thread dumps and analyzing them with tools like yCrash for clearer insight.
