Object Header or Sync Block in BotR: Threading - Synchronization: Managed

[Miljankg]

Hi!

In the Threading section of the "Book of the Runtime", in the chapter "Synchronization: Managed", the last paragraph states:

An object that is used as a condition variable (via Monitor.Wait and Monitor.Pulse) must always be inflated, as there is not enough room in the sync block to hold the required state.

However, from reading the whole chapter, my understanding is that the objects are inflated when there is not enough space in the object header. Then the sync block is added. If I am not mistaken, sync block in the mentioned paragraph should be replaced with object header.

Is this true, or did I misunderstand how the objects are inflated?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should say "object header" instead.
