我们知道synchronized有两种：同步方法（synchronized method）和同步语句块（synchronized block）。那么这两种有什么区别以及优缺点呢？
SynchronizedMethod：
优点：代码简单清晰；易于维护
缺点：同步粒度过大，不利于并发；不够灵活，默认用本对象或者本类锁同步
Synchronizedblock :
优点：灵活，可以使用任意对象锁；同步粒度小，并发度更高
缺点：代码更复杂，不易于维护
对比：
Synchronized method：
默认锁住的是this（修饰非静态方法）或者.class(修饰静态方法)。一旦整个对象被锁住，那么对象里的其他同步方法将无法访问，，这样可能导致本来不相关的方法执行的并发度降低。尤其是当同步的方法很大，但其中只有很小一块访问共享数据的代码，这个时候用同步块更合适。
synchronized void foo() { …}void foo() {synchronized (this) {…}}public class MyClass { // locks MyClass.class public static synchronized void foo() {// do something }// similar public static void foo() {synchronized(MyClass.class) {// do something} }}
Synchronized block：
可以使用任意对象的锁来锁住同步块，非常灵活。同步粒度自己调整。
// Using specific locksObject inputLock = new Object();Object outputLock = new Object();private void someInputRelatedWork() {synchronize(inputLock) {…} }private void someOutputRelatedWork() {synchronize(outputLock) {…}}
两个方法可以同时执行，只要两个线程分别获得一个锁（一个活的输出锁，一个获得输入锁），如果改成同步方法，就没有办法同时执行了。而且可以根据自己的需要来决定用不同的锁锁住不同的代码块来实现同步。
例如下面的程序：修改List 的线程并不会阻塞修改Map的线程
private List<Foo> myList = new ArrayList<Foo>();private Map<String,Bar) myMap = new HashMap<String,Bar>();public void put( String s, Bar b ) { synchronized( myMap ) {myMap.put( s,b );// then some thing that may take a while like a database access or RPC or notifying listeners }}public void hasKey( String s, ) { synchronized( myMap ) {myMap.hasKey( s ); }}public void add( Foo f ) { synchronized( myList ) {myList.add( f );// then some thing that may take a while like a database access or RPC or notifying listeners }}public Thing getMedianFoo() { Foo med = null; synchronized( myList ) {Collections.sort(myList);med = myList.get(myList.size()/2); } return med;}
下图阐述两种方法的并发度：
JVM对Synchronized method 和Synchronizedblock在指令集上的支持；
Opcode
Operand(s)
Description
monitorenter
none
pop objectref, acquire the lock associated with objectref
monitorexit
none
pop objectref, release the lock associated with objectref
Synchronized block
class KitchenSync {private int[] intArray = new int[10];void reverseOrder() {synchronized (this) {int halfWay = intArray.length / 2;for (int i = 0; i < halfWay; ++i) {int upperIndex = intArray.length – 1 – i;int save = intArray[upperIndex];intArray[upperIndex] = intArray[i];intArray[i] = save;}}}// …}
编译后的字节码：
