Java并发编程-Condition使用实例

本文将简单介绍用于线程协作的Condition, 并给出一个例子，实现一个多线程题目--有三个线程分别打印A、B、C,请用多线程编程实现，在屏幕上循环打印10次ABCABC…
。

Condition是从JDK 1.5开始有的。API是这么描述的：

以上是Condition接口定义的方法，[b]await()[/b]对应于Object#wait()，[b]signal()[/b]对应于Object#notify()，[b]signalAll()[/b]对应于Object#notifyAll()。

[b]Condition是与Lock结合使用的，通过Lock.newCondition()方法能够创建与Lock绑定的Condition实例。[/b]

[color=blue]Lock和Condition的关系就如同 Object.wait(),Object.notify()方法和synchronized一样，它们都可以配合使用完成对多线程协作的控制。[/color]

JDK提供的[b]ArrayBlockingQueue[/b]很好地诠释了Condition的使用。

public class ArrayBlockingQueue<E> extends AbstractQueue<E>
        implements BlockingQueue<E>, java.io.Serializable {

    /** Condition for waiting takes */
    private final Condition notEmpty;
    /** Condition for waiting puts */
    private final Condition notFull;


    /**
     * Inserts element at current put position, advances, and signals.
     * Call only when holding lock.
     */
    private void insert(E x) {
        items[putIndex] = x;
        putIndex = inc(putIndex);
        ++count;
        notEmpty.signal();
    }

    /**
     * Extracts element at current take position, advances, and signals.
     * Call only when holding lock.
     */
    private E extract() {
        final Object[] items = this.items;
        E x = this.<E>cast(items[takeIndex]);
        items[takeIndex] = null;
        takeIndex = inc(takeIndex);
        --count;
        notFull.signal();
        return x;
    }

    /**
     * Deletes item at position i.
     * Utility for remove and iterator.remove.
     * Call only when holding lock.
     */
    void removeAt(int i) {
        final Object[] items = this.items;
        // if removing front item, just advance
        if (i == takeIndex) {
            items[takeIndex] = null;
            takeIndex = inc(takeIndex);
        } else {
            // slide over all others up through putIndex.
            for (;;) {
                int nexti = inc(i);
                if (nexti != putIndex) {
                    items[i] = items[nexti];
                    i = nexti;
                } else {
                    items[i] = null;
                    putIndex = i;
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
        --count;
        notFull.signal();
    }

/**
     * Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue, waiting
     * for space to become available if the queue is full.
     *
     * @throws InterruptedException {@inheritDoc}
     * @throws NullPointerException {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public void put(E e) throws InterruptedException {
        checkNotNull(e);
        final ReentrantLock lock = this.lock;
        lock.lockInterruptibly();
        try {
            while (count == items.length)
                notFull.await();
            insert(e);
        } finally {
            lock.unlock();
        }
    }

    public E take() throws InterruptedException {
        final ReentrantLock lock = this.lock;
        lock.lockInterruptibly();
        try {
            while (count == 0)
                notEmpty.await();
            return extract();
        } finally {
            lock.unlock();
        }
    }
... ... 
}

下面就使用Condition来完成一个线程面试题：有三个线程分别打印A、B、C,请用多线程编程实现，在屏幕上循环打印10次ABCABC…

[b]程序如下：[/b]

package my.thread.test;

import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

/**

 * 本程序采用Lock和Condition来实现。
