@Beta public abstract static class Monitor.Guard extends Object
A boolean condition for which a thread may wait. A Guard
is associated with a single Monitor
. The monitor may check the guard at arbitrary times from any thread occupying the monitor, so code should not be written to rely on how often a guard might or might not be checked.
If a Guard
is passed into any method of a Monitor
other than the one it is associated with, an IllegalMonitorStateException
is thrown.
