A situation where people are stuck because they cannot agree and nothing can move forward.

become stuck in disagreement

If talks or a process deadlock, they stop because people cannot agree.

用法パターン: [talks/negotiations] deadlock; [something] deadlocks [a process]
よくある間違い:
Deadlock is often intransitive: say 'The talks deadlocked' or 'The talks were deadlocked,' not 'The talks were deadlock.'
類義語
stall (More general; progress slows or stops for any reason.) | bog down (More informal; suggests becoming slow and difficult.) | reach an impasse (More formal phrase with the same negotiation sense.)
対義語
progress (To move forward rather than remain stuck.) | advance (To continue toward a result or solution.) | resolve (To settle the disagreement or problem.)

mutual waiting in computing

A computer problem where programs or tasks wait for each other and none can continue.

用法パターン: [a] deadlock; deadlock between [processes/threads/transactions]
よくある間違い:
In computing, deadlock is more specific than a crash or freeze; it usually involves tasks waiting for resources held by each other.
類義語
circular wait (More technical; names a mutual waiting condition that can produce a deadlock.) | lockup (Broader and less precise; describes a system that stops responding.) | hang (Broader; describes software becoming unresponsive, not necessarily because of deadlock.)
対義語
progress (A system property where work continues instead of waiting forever.) | liveness (A technical property meaning the system continues to make progress.)
コロケーション
database deadlock |thread deadlock |process deadlock |transaction deadlock |deadlock detection |deadlock prevention |deadlock avoidance |detect a deadlock |prevent deadlocks |resolve a deadlock
テーマ
computing |software |databases |programming
例文
  • The database transaction was rolled back after a deadlock was detected.
  • The program can enter a deadlock if two threads hold locks and wait for each other.

enter computing deadlock

If computer tasks deadlock, they stop because each one is waiting for another.

用法パターン: [threads/processes] deadlock; [code/a transaction] deadlocks [a system]
よくある間違い:
Do not use the technical verb deadlock for every software failure; a program can freeze for many reasons besides deadlocking.
類義語
hang (Broader; means become unresponsive for any reason.) | block (Means wait for something; may be temporary and not a true deadlock.) | lock up (Less formal; describes a system becoming stuck.)
対義語
continue (To keep running instead of becoming stuck.) | proceed (To move forward in execution.)
コロケーション
threads deadlock |processes deadlock |transactions deadlock |the application deadlocks |deadlock under load |avoid deadlocking |prevent deadlocking |deadlock the system
テーマ
computing |software |databases |programming
例文
  • The application deadlocked when both threads tried to acquire the same two locks in opposite order.
  • This patch stops the worker processes from deadlocking under heavy load.

secure door lock

A strong lock for a door, similar to what many Americans call a deadbolt.

用法パターン: [a] deadlock on [a door]
よくある間違い:
In American English, deadbolt is much more common for this type of lock.
類義語
deadbolt (The more common American English term.) | security lock (Broader; can refer to many kinds of stronger locks.)
対義語
spring latch (A latch that closes with a spring rather than a fixed bolt.)
