ThreadLocal原理解析

原理

ThreadLocal实际起作用的是ThreadLocal内部的ThreadLocalMap类，对于每一个Tread，都有一个ThreadLocalMap属性，从而实现线程隔离，然后set的时候就通过获取当前线程然后给他的ThreadLcoalMap属性添加值

public  
class Thread implements Runnable {
	ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap threadLocals = null;
}

ThreadLocalMap

static class ThreadLocalMap {  
  
    /**  
     * The entries in this hash map extend WeakReference, using     * its main ref field as the key (which is always a     * ThreadLocal object).  Note that null keys (i.e. entry.get()     * == null) mean that the key is no longer referenced, so the     * entry can be expunged from table.  Such entries are referred to     * as "stale entries" in the code that follows. */
     // Entry是节点，继承了WeakReferentce，定义了一个value
     static class Entry extends WeakReference<ThreadLocal<?>> { 
		  Object value;

            Entry(ThreadLocal<?> k, Object v) {
                super(k);
                value = v;
            }
		}
	    public void set(T value) {
			    // 获取当前线程
		        Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
				// 通过当前线程获取线程中维护的ThreadLocalMap对象
		        ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
		        if (map != null) {
		            map.set(this, value);
		        } else {
		            createMap(t, value);
		        }
		    }
}

为何使用弱引用

因为ThreadLocalMap的key是Thread，如果像普通的key-value的定义，只要线程未销毁
就会一直存在，所以使用弱引用就可以在不存在强引用的时候就将这个销毁。
