多线程Condition

条件变量是Java5线程中很重要的一个概念，顾名思义，条件变量就是表示条件的一种变量。但是必须说明，这里的条件是没有实际含义的，仅仅是个标记而已，并且条件的含义往往通过代码来赋予其含义。

 

这里的条件和普通意义上的条件表达式有着天壤之别。

 

条件变量都实现了java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition接口，条件变量的实例化是通过一个Lock对象上调用newCondition()方法来获取的，这样，条件就和一个锁对象绑定起来了。因此，Java中的条件变量只能和锁配合使用，来控制并发程序访问竞争资源的安全。

 

条件变量的出现是为了更精细控制线程等待与唤醒，在Java5之前，线程的等待与唤醒依靠的是Object对象的wait()和notify()/notifyAll()方法，这样的处理不够精细。

 

而在Java5中，一个锁可以有多个条件，每个条件上可以有多个线程等待，通过调用await()方法，可以让线程在该条件下等待。当调用signalAll()方法，又可以唤醒该条件下的等待的线程。有关Condition接口的API可以具体参考JavaAPI文档。

 

条件变量比较抽象，原因是他不是自然语言中的条件概念，而是程序控制的一种手段。

package producerConsumer;

import java.util.LinkedList;
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;

public class TestCondition {
	private LinkedList
   
   
    
     myList = new LinkedList
    
    
     
     ();
	private int MAX = 3;
	private final Lock lock = new ReentrantLock();
	private final Condition full = lock.newCondition();
	private final Condition empty = lock.newCondition();
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		new TestCondition().run();
	}
	
	public void run(){
		ExecutorService pool= Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
		Thread c1 = new Consumer();
		Thread c2 = new Consumer();
		Thread c3 = new Consumer();
		Thread c4 = new Consumer();
		Thread c5 = new Consumer();
		
		Thread p1 = new Producer();
		Thread p2 = new Producer();
		Thread p3 = new Producer();
		Thread p4 = new Producer();
		Thread p5 = new Producer();
		
		pool.execute(c1);
		pool.execute(p1);
		pool.execute(c2);
		pool.execute(p2);
		pool.execute(c3);
		pool.execute(c4);
		pool.execute(c5);
		pool.execute(p3);
		pool.execute(p4);
		pool.execute(p5);
		
		pool.shutdown();
		
	}
	
	class Producer extends Thread{
		public void run(){
			lock.lock();
			
			try {
				while(myList.size()==MAX){
					System.out.println("Warning: it's full");
					full.await();
				}
				Product p = new Product("Fruit");
				if(myList.add(p)){
					System.out.println("Producer: ");
				}
				empty.signal();
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				System.out.println("Producer is interrupted");
			}finally{
				lock.unlock();
			}
		}
		
		
	}
	
	class Consumer extends Thread{
		public void run(){
			lock.lock();
			
			try {
				while(myList.size()==0){
					System.out.println("Warning: it's empty!");
					empty.await();
				}
				
				Product p = myList.removeLast();
				System.out.println("Consumer: "+p);
				full.signal();
			} catch (InterruptedException e) {
				System.out.println("Consumer is interrupted");
			}finally{
				lock.unlock();
			}
		}
	}
	
	

}
    
    
   
   

运行结果：

Warning: it's empty!
Warning: it's empty!
Warning: it's empty!
Producer: 
Consumer: Product [name=Fruit]
Producer: 
Producer: 
Producer: 
Consumer: Product [name=Fruit]
Producer: 
Consumer: Product [name=Fruit]
Consumer: Product [name=Fruit]
Consumer: Product [name=Fruit]
