Concurrency debugging

Multithreading is a technique whereby a process splits into multiple threads, allowing for better performance, especially on systems with multiple processors or cores. However, managing multiple threads can be challenging as they may need to access shared resources concurrently, leading to potential bugs such as deadlocks where threads are unable to progress. Debugging such issues can be difficult and time-consuming.

In this section, we will learn how to tackle this by using the Threads window and handling parallel debugging.

For this, we will create a simple console application calling ten simple threads. Here’s the code we will use for our example :

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    CreateThreads();
}
static void CreateThreads()
{
    Dummy dummy = new Dummy();
    Thread dummyCaller = new Thread(
        new ThreadStart(dummy.Instance)
