InheritableThreadLocal使用详解

执行结果如下：

value:mainThread

value:mainThread

InheritableThreadLocal原理分析[#](()

---

先看下InheritableThreadLocal的源代码:

public class InheritableThreadLocal extends ThreadLocal {

protected T childValue(T parentValue) {

return parentValue;

}

ThreadLocalMap getMap(Thread t) {

return t.inheritableThreadLocals;

}

void createMap(Thread t, T firstValue) {

t.inheritableThreadLocals = new ThreadLocalMap(this, firstValue);

}

}

这个类继承了ThreadLocal，并且重写了getMap和createMap方法，区别就是将 ThreadLocal 中的 threadLocals 换成了 inheritableThreadLocals，这两个变量都是ThreadLocalMap类型，并且都是Thread类的属性。

下面就一步步来看下InheritableThreadLocal为什么能拿到父线程中的ThreadLocal值。

step1：InheritableThreadLocal获取值先调用了get方法，所以我们直接看看get方法都做了些啥。

public T get() {

Thread t = Thread.currentThread();

ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);

if (map != null) {

ThreadLocalMap.Entry e = map.getEntry(this);

if (e != null) {

@SuppressWarnings(“unchecked”)

T result = (T)e.value;

return result;

}

}

return setInitialValue();

}

从上面的代码可以看出，get方法和ThreadLocal中是一样的，唯一有区别的就是其中的getMap方法重写了，返回的是inheritableThreadLocals属性。这个属性也是一个ThreadLocalMap类型的变量。那么从这边就可以推断出来：肯定是在某处将父线程中的ThreadLocal值赋值到了子线程的inheritableThreadLocals中。

step2：在源代码中搜索哪些地方使用到了inheritableThreadLocals这个属性，最后找到这段代码:

private void init(ThreadGroup g, Runnable target, String name,long stackSize, AccessControlContext acc) {

if (name == null) {

throw new NullPointerException(“name cannot be null”);

}

this.name = name.toCharArray();

Thread parent = currentThread();

SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();

if (g == null) {

if (security != null) {

g = security.getThreadGroup();

}

if (g == null) {

g = parent.getThreadGroup();

}

}

g.checkAccess();

if (security != null) {

if (isCCLOverridden(getClass())) {

security.checkPermission(SUBCLASS_IMPLEMENTATION_PERMISSION);

}

}

g.addUnstarted();

this.group = g;

this.daemon = parent.isDaemon();

this.priority = parent.getPriority();

if (security == null || isCCLOverridden(parent.getClass()))

this.contextClassLoader = parent.getContextClassLoader();

else

this.contextClassLoader = parent.contextClassLoader;

this.inheritedAccessControlContext =

acc != null ? acc : AccessController.getContext();

this.target = target;

setPriority(priority);

//1. 这边先判断了父线程中inheritableThreadLocals属性是否为空，不为空的话就复制给子线程

if (parent.inheritableThreadLocals != null)

this.inheritableThreadLocals = ThreadLocal.createInheritedMap(parent.inheritableThreadLocals);

/* Stash the specified stack size in case the VM cares */
