exception inside lock before lock body

lock(foo()){bar();} what will happen if foo() throws an exception? will
there be a lock on the exception?

no, you cant lock a function either but assuming you locked an object and an
exception occurred, the object would not be unlocked. One good approach to
fighting this problem is to use a finally block and release or unlock
resources.
