类加载过程是线程安全的吗？

答案是：是的。

ClassLoader.loadClass()源码：

Unless overridden, this method synchronizes on the result of <getClassLoadingLock> method during the entire class loading process.

除非是重写，那么这个整个加载过程都是同步的。

/**
     * Loads the class with the specified <a href="#name">binary name</a>.  The
     * default implementation of this method searches for classes in the
     * following order:
     *
     * <ol>
     *
     *   <li><p> Invoke {@link #findLoadedClass(String)} to check if the class
     *   has already been loaded.  </p></li>
     *
     *   <li><p> Invoke the {@link #loadClass(String) <tt>loadClass</tt>} method
     *   on the parent class loader.  If the parent is <tt>null</tt> the class
     *   loader built-in to the virtual machine is used, instead.  </p></li>
     *
     *   <li>&l
