子线程如何获取父线程的ThreadLocal变量

           之前面试的时候，当谈到ThreadLocal时，被人问到，在子线程中如何获取父线程的ThreadLocal里面存储的变量。今天看到了一个类InheritableThreadLocal才明白原来是这样来做的。

           先来看一下InheritableThreadLocal的源码。

           

public class InheritableThreadLocal<T> extends ThreadLocal<T> {
    /**
     * Computes the child's initial value for this inheritable thread-local
     * variable as a function of the parent's value at the time the child
     * thread is created.  This method is called from within the parent
     * thread before the child is started.
     * <p>
     * This method merely returns its input argument, and should be overridden
     * if a different behavior is desired.
     *
     * @param parentValue the parent thread's value
     * @return the child thread's initial value
     */
    protected T childValue(T parentValue) {
        return parentValue;
    }

    /**
     * Get the map associated with a ThreadLocal.
     *
