摘要：In this paper, we consider asynchronous programs consisting of multiple recursive threads running in parallel. Each of the threads is equipped with a multi-set. The threads can create tasks and post them onto the multi-sets or read a task from their own. In addition, they can synchronise through a finite set of locks. In this paper, we show that the reachability problem for such class of asynchronous programs is undecidable even under the nested locking policy. We then show that the reachability problem becomes decidable (Exp-space-complete) when the locks are not allowed to be held across tasks. Finally, we show that the problem is NP-complete when in addition to previous restrictions, threads always read tasks from the same state.
