Problem:
In java and other languages you can use the keyword synchronized on methods to add multi-threaded behavior and locking capabilities. This would be of great usage instead of always using cflock statements. This could be a great handy way to provide synchronization on methods natively.
Method:
* First, it is not possible for two invocations of synchronized methods on the same object to interleave. When one thread is executing a synchronized method for an object, all other threads that invoke synchronized methods for the same object block (suspend execution) until the first thread is done with the object. * Second, when a synchronized method exits, it automatically establishes a happens-before relationship with any subsequent invocation of a synchronized method for the same object. This guarantees that changes to the state of the object are visible to all threads.
Result:
Ability to maybe have a new attribute for methods "synchronized" that can follow the ability to lock method execution
