Hi,

I was just wondering why the garbage collector does stop finalizing when you take a lock inside a finlizer which you do not own.

Is this the expected behaviour or a non conformity?

Could you elaborate a bit the cooperation of the GC and locks inside finalizers?

Yours,

Alois, first of all it's not GC that "does stop finalizing" - GC doesn't run finalizers, it just tells the finalizer thread if there are finalizers to run and the finalizer thread runs them. It's up to the runtime policy to decide whether to abort the finalizers or wait infinite. Currently the runtime policy is to wait infinitely for finalizers during appdomain unload and wait for certain number of seconds total during process shutdown (and for each finalizer there's also a timeout value).

You can change the timeout for AD unload and shutdown via hosting interface ICLRPolicyManager.
