004 volatile在JSR中的定义

volatile在JSR（是Java Specification Requests的缩写，意思是Java规范提案）中的定义：

 The Java programming language allows threads to access shared variables (§17.1). As a rule, to ensure that shared variables are consistently and reliably updated, a thread should ensure that it has exclusive use of such variables by obtaining a lock that, conventionally, enforces mutual exclusion for those shared variables.

    The Java programming language provides a second mechanism, volatile fields, that is more convenient than locking for some purposes.

    A field may be declared volatile, in which case the Java Memory Model ensures that all threads see a consistent value for the variable .

    简单的翻译一下：

Java编程语言中允许线程访问共享变量。为了确保共享变量能被一致地和可靠的更新，线程必须确保它是排他性的使用此共享变量，通常都是获得对这些共享变量强制排他性的同步锁。

 Java编程语言提供了另一种机制，volatile域变量，对于某些场景的使用这要比锁更加的方便。

 可以把变量声明为volatile，以让Java内存模型来保证所有线程都能看到这个变量的一致的一个值。
