Abstract
Techniques for managing threads involve acquiring respective runtime addresses and call information of a plurality of lock objects in a plurality of threads, and determining, from the plurality of lock objects, a first group of lock objects associated with first call information and a second group of lock objects associated with second call information different from the first call information. The techniques further involve providing an indication that a deadlock exists in the plurality of threads if it is determined that a first group of runtime addresses of the first group of lock objects overlaps with a second group of runtime addresses of the second group of lock objects. Accordingly, potential deadlocks in a plurality of threads can be analyzed, thereby avoiding the inability of the threads to proceed normally due to the deadlocks.
