Memory Consistency Properties
Chapter 17 of the Java Language Specification defines the happens-before relation on memory operations such as reads and writes of shared variables. The results of a write by one thread are guaranteed to be visible to a read by another thread only if the write operation happens-before the read operation. Thesynchronized
and
volatile
constructs, as well as the
Thread.start()
and
Thread.join()
methods, can form
happens-before
relationships. In particular:
- Each action in a thread happens-before every action in that thread that comes later in the program's order.
- An unlock (
synchronized
block or method exit) of a monitor happens-before every subsequent lock (synchronized
block or method entry) of that same monitor. And because the happens-before relation is transitive, all actions of a thread prior to unlocking happen-before all actions subsequent to any thread locking that monitor. - A write to a
volatile
field happens-before every subsequent read of that same field. Writes and reads ofvolatile
fields have similar memory consistency effects as entering and exiting monitors, but do not entail mutual exclusion locking. - A call to
start
on a thread happens-before any action in the started thread. - All actions in a thread happen-before any other thread successfully returns from a
join
on that thread.
java.util.concurrent
and its subpackages extend these guarantees to higher-level synchronization. In particular:
- Actions in a thread prior to placing an object into any concurrent collection happen-before actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from the collection in another thread.
- Actions in a thread prior to the submission of a
Runnable
to anExecutor
happen-before its execution begins. Similarly forCallables
submitted to anExecutorService
. - Actions taken by the asynchronous computation represented by a
Future
happen-before actions subsequent to the retrieval of the result viaFuture.get()
in another thread. - Actions prior to "releasing" synchronizer methods such as
Lock.unlock
,Semaphore.release
, andCountDownLatch.countDown
happen-beforeactions subsequent to a successful "acquiring" method such asLock.lock
,Semaphore.acquire
,Condition.await
, andCountDownLatch.await
on the same synchronizer object in another thread. - For each pair of threads that successfully exchange objects via an
Exchanger
, actions prior to theexchange()
in each thread happen-beforethose subsequent to the correspondingexchange()
in another thread. - Actions prior to calling
CyclicBarrier.await
andPhaser.awaitAdvance
(as well as its variants) happen-before actions performed by the barrier action, and actions performed by the barrier action happen-before actions subsequent to a successful return from the correspondingawait
in other threads.
