java volatile

volatile is a keyword.

When member variables are marked with this keyword, it changes the runtime behavior in a way that is noticeable when multiple threads access these variables. Without the volatile keyword, one thread could observe another thread update member variables in an order that is not consistent with what is specified in sourcecode. Unlike the synchronized keyword, concurrent access to a volatile field is allowed.

Syntax:

private volatile <member-variable>;
or 
volatile private <member-variable>;

volatile修饰变量。在每次被线程访问时，都强迫从共享内存中重读该成员变量的值。而且，当成员变量发生变化时，

强迫线程将变化值回写到共享内存。这样在任何时刻，两个不同的线程总是看到某个成员变量的同一个值。
