[Java] ThreadLocal相关内容

        当谈到线程时，必然要关注多个线程对同一个资源的访问。比如某个线程要读一个变量，为了保证它在读的时候不被其它线程执行写操作，所以要加一个只读锁，这样其它线程就无法再加只写锁或读写锁，但是如果其它线程这时也要读它，可以再加只读锁。多个线程可以同时读这个变量，但是每次只有一个线程可以来写这个变量。这就是线程通过加锁的机制来访问变量。这种情况也就是同一个变量被多个线程共享，所以必须通过加锁进行同步。

         看了ThreadLocal的源码，发现和它相关的还有ThreadLocalMap和Thread。对Thread都应该比较熟悉，就是一个线程。ThreadLocalMap从表面上看就是一个ThreadLocal的Map，它里面保存的是多个ThreadLocal->Value（即从ThreadLocal到Value的映射，ThreadLocal用作键，Value是对应的值）。它们之间的关系是，Thread里面定义了一个ThreadLocalMap的变量threadLocals，并且没有进行初始化。当你在一个线程里面第一次访问ThreadLocal时，这个线程的threadLocals变量被初始化为ThreadLocalMap的对象。然后ThreadLocal的对象和对应的值就被存储到变量threadLocals里面。同一个线程可以访问多个ThreadLocal对象，它们和对应的值都存储在同一个变量threadLocals里面。换言之，一个线程有一个ThreadLocalMap类型的变量threadLocals，它里面保存了多个ThreadLocal的对象到对应值的映射。这就是一个线程访问多个ThreadLocal。同样，一个ThreadLocal也可以被多个线程访问，这样每一个线程的ThreadLocalMap类型的变量threadLocals里面都存储了ThreadLocal到对应值的映射。把上面两种情况结合起来，就是多个线程访问多个ThreadLocal。

        我们定义了一个ThreadLocal变量，每一个线程在访问它时，都会把这个变量和它对应的值放到线程里面，所以每个线程在读写时都是操作线程内部自己的拷贝。多个线程同时访问ThreadLocal时也不会有问题，我们定义的ThreadLocal变量并没有在线程间共享，而是每个线程自己拷贝了一份。所以不存在加锁和同步问题，当线程完成时，这个本地拷贝会随线程一起释放掉。

下面是一个简单的示例：

public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		final ThreadLocal<Integer> tl = new ThreadLocal<Integer>();
		
		new Thread(new Runnable(){
			public void run() {
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": get = " + tl.get());
				tl.set(10);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": set = " + 10);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": get = " + tl.get());
			}}).start();
		
		new Thread(new Runnable(){
			public void run() {
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": get = " + tl.get());
				tl.set(20);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": set = " + 20);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": get = " + tl.get());
			}}).start();
		
		new Thread(new Runnable(){
			public void run() {
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": get = " + tl.get());
				tl.set(30);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": set = " + 30);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": get = " + tl.get());
			}}).start();
		
		final ThreadLocal<Integer> tl0 = new ThreadLocal<Integer>();
		final ThreadLocal<Integer> tl1 = new ThreadLocal<Integer>();
		final ThreadLocal<Integer> tl2 = new ThreadLocal<Integer>();
		
		new Thread(new Runnable(){
			public void run() {
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl0.get = " + tl0.get());
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl1.get = " + tl1.get());
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl2.get = " + tl2.get());
				tl0.set(10);
				tl1.set(20);
				tl2.set(30);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl0.set = " + 10);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl1.set = " + 20);
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl2.set = " + 30);
				
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl0.get = " + tl0.get());
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl1.get = " + tl1.get());
				System.out.println("Thread ID = " + Thread.currentThread().getId() + ": tl2.get = " + tl2.get());
				
			}}).start();
	}

运行结果如下：

Thread ID = 7: get = null
Thread ID = 7: set = 10
Thread ID = 7: get = 10
Thread ID = 9: get = null
Thread ID = 9: set = 30
Thread ID = 9: get = 30
Thread ID = 8: get = null
Thread ID = 8: set = 20
Thread ID = 8: get = 20
Thread ID = 10: tl0.get = null
Thread ID = 10: tl1.get = null
Thread ID = 10: tl2.get = null
Thread ID = 10: tl0.set = 10
Thread ID = 10: tl1.set = 20
Thread ID = 10: tl2.set = 30
Thread ID = 10: tl0.get = 10
Thread ID = 10: tl1.get = 20
Thread ID = 10: tl2.get = 30
