大家上过操作系统的都知道“生产者-消费者(Producer-Consumer)”模型,主要讨论的是进程(线程)间的互斥和同步问题,关键是对锁(lock)的申请、独占和释放,在这里我就不罗嗦了。原先我写的Java代码如下:
public class Producer extends Thread{
private ProductList products = ProductList.getInstance();
public void run(){
int i = 0;
while(i <= 20){
synchronized(products){ // Get lock on product list
if(products.isFull()){
System.out.println("List is full");
products.notify(); // Release the lock
} else{
Product product = new Product(i++); // Produce a product
products.put(product);
System.out.println("Produced product " + product.getId());
products.notify(); // Release lock
}
} // Release the lock
}
}
}
public class Consumer extends Thread{
ProductList products = ProductList.getInstance();
public void run(){
while(true){
synchronized(products){
try {
products.wait(); // Wait for lock
Product product = null;
if(!(products.isEmpty()))
product = products.take();
else
System.out.println("List is empty");
System.out.println("Consumed product " + product.getId()); // Get the lock
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
} // Release the lock
}
}
}
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class ProductList {
private static ProductList instance = new ProductList();
private List<Product> products; // Adapter pattern
public static final int SIZE = 10;
private ProductList() {
products = new ArrayList<Product>(SIZE);
}
public static ProductList getInstance() { // Singleton pattern
return instance;
}
public boolean isFull() {
return products.size() == SIZE;
}
public void put(Product product) {
products.add(product);
}
public Product take() {
return products.remove(0);
}
public boolean isEmpty() {
return products.isEmpty();
}
}
public class Product {
private int id;
public Product(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
Producer p = new Producer();
Consumer c = new Consumer();
p.start();
c.start();
}
}
虽然Java对信号量及原语做了更高层次的封装(wait()、notify()、notifyAll()、synchronized{}),但看完上述代码还是觉得有点麻烦,于是JDK 5在原先collection框架的基础上增加了java.util.concurrent包,封装了许多用于线程并发操作的数据结构和操作。其中的BlockingQueue接口就是封装了一个阻塞队列的接口,具体地说就是实现了一个用于消费者(多个)和生产者(多个)交换产品的中介,生产者线程在队列满时阻塞,消费者线程在队列空时阻塞,当然在没有得到锁之前两类线程均会阻塞。详细信息可以参考Java Doc。下面用BlockingQueue实现P-C模型:
class Producer implements Runnable {
private final BlockingQueue queue;
Producer(BlockingQueue q) { queue = q; }
public void run() {
try {
while(true) { queue.put(produce()); }
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {/* handle */}
}
Object produce() {/*... */}
}
class Consumer implements Runnable {
private final BlockingQueue queue;
Consumer(BlockingQueue q) { queue = q; }
public void run() {
try {
while(true) { consume(queue.take()); }
} catch (InterruptedException ex) { /* handle */ }
}
void consume(Object x) {/*...*/ }
}
class Setup {
void main() {
BlockingQueue q = new SomeQueueImplementation();
Producer p = new Producer(q);
Consumer c1 = new Consumer(q);
Consumer c2 = new Consumer(q);
new Thread(p).start();
new Thread(c1).start();
new Thread(c2).start();
}
}
可以看出代码中没有出现wait()或notify()之类的原语操作,这些操作由concurrent框架负责封装。更全面的讨论可以参考《驯服 Tiger: 并发集合》(IBM)
