Side effects of throwing an exception inside a synchronized clause?

Question

Are there any unclear side effects to throwing an exception from within a synchronized clause? What happens to the lock?

private void doSomething() throws Exception {...}

synchronized (lock) {   
    doSomething();       
}

Answer 1

I see no side-effect.

The lock is guaranteed to be terminated in all cases, and an exception is no exception (pun intended).
