Abstract
The subject presented in the paper concerns resource conflicts, which are the cause of order violation in multithreaded applications. The work focuses on developing conditions that can be implemented as a tool for allowing to detect these conflicts in the process of static code analysis. The research is based on known errors reported to developers of large applications such as Mozilla Firefox browser and MySQL relational database system. These errors could have been avoided by appropriate monitoring of the source code.
Keywords:
order violation, conflicts of resources, static analysis of the codeReferences
