之前讲过的AtomicInteger等CAS操作会产生ABA问题,什么是ABA?wiki官方解释https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABA_problem,简单讲就是多线程环境,2次读写中一个线程修改A->B,然后又B->A,另一个线程看到的值未改变,又继续修改成自己的期望值。如果我们不关心中间状态的变化,只关心最终结果,就无所谓ABA问题。看代码:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference;
public class ABATest {
static AtomicReference<Integer> atomicReference = new AtomicReference<Integer>(1);
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread()+ "-" + atomicReference.compareAndSet(1, 2));
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread()+ "-" + atomicReference.compareAndSet(2, 1));
}
}).start();
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread()+ "-" + atomicReference.compareAndSet(1, 2));
}
}).start();
Thread.currentThread().sleep(3000);
System.out.println(atomicReference.get());
}
}
一个线程将1->2->1,另一个线程看到期望值还是1,就将其改成最终值2,如果不关心第一个线程所做的中间状态的变更,也就不用关心ABA问题。
这是一个不是"问题"的问题。
看下AtomicStampedReference是怎么解决这个问题的:
/**
通过static pair保存一个引用和计数器
*/
private static class Pair<T> {
final T reference;
final int stamp;
private Pair(T reference, int stamp) {
this.reference = reference;
this.stamp = stamp;
}
static <T> Pair<T> of(T reference, int stamp) {
return new Pair<T>(reference, stamp);
}
}
private volatile Pair<V> pair;
/**
* 通过传入的初始化引用和计数器来构造函数一个pair
*
* @param initialRef 初始化用用
* @param initialStamp 初始化计数器或者叫时间戳
*/
public AtomicStampedReference(V initialRef, int initialStamp) {
pair = Pair.of(initialRef, initialStamp);
}
AtomicStampedReference通过一个pair来保存初始化引用和计数器,以后每次原子操作时,都需要比较引用和计数器是否都正确。
举个通俗点的例子,你倒了一杯水放桌子上,干了点别的事,然后同事把你水喝了又给你重新倒了一杯水,你回来看水还在,拿起来就喝,如果你不管水中间被人喝过,只关心水还在,这就是ABA问题。如果你是一个讲卫生讲文明的小伙子,不但关心水在不在,还要在你离开的时候水被人动过没有,因为你是程序员,所以就想起了放了张纸在旁边,写上初始值0,别人喝水前麻烦先做个累加才能喝水。这就是AtomicStampedReference的解决方案。
看下AtomicStampedReference的方法:
public boolean compareAndSet(V expectedReference,
V newReference,
int expectedStamp,
int newStamp) {
Pair<V> current = pair;
//每次操作前不但比较引用值还比较计数器,底层还是unsafe那些方法
return
expectedReference == current.reference &&
expectedStamp == current.stamp &&
((newReference == current.reference &&
newStamp == current.stamp) ||
casPair(current, Pair.of(newReference, newStamp)));
}
private boolean casPair(Pair<V> cmp, Pair<V> val) {
return UNSAFE.compareAndSwapObject(this, pairOffset, cmp, val);
}
当然还提供了获取计数器和引用值的方法
public V getReference() {
return pair.reference;
}
public int getStamp() {
return pair.stamp;
}
其他方法都差不多,看个简单使用的demo:
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicStampedReference;
public class AtomicStampedReferenceTest {
static AtomicStampedReference<Integer> atomicStampedReference = new AtomicStampedReference<Integer>(0, 0);
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
final int stamp = atomicStampedReference.getStamp();
final Integer reference = atomicStampedReference.getReference();
Thread t1 = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread() + "-" + reference + "-" + stamp + "-"
+ atomicStampedReference.compareAndSet(reference, reference + 10, stamp, stamp + 1));
}
});
Thread t2 = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Integer reference = atomicStampedReference.getReference();
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread() + "-" + reference + "-" + stamp + "-"
+ atomicStampedReference.compareAndSet(reference, reference + 10, stamp, stamp + 1));
}
});
t1.start();
t2.start();
t1.join();
t2.join();
System.out.println(atomicStampedReference.getReference());
System.out.println(atomicStampedReference.getStamp());
}
}
AtomicMarkableReference跟AtomicStampedReference差不多, AtomicStampedReference是使用pair的int stamp作为计数器使用,AtomicMarkableReference的pair使用的是boolean mark。
还是那个水的例子,AtomicStampedReference可能关心的是动过几次,AtomicMarkableReference关心的是有没有被人动过,方法都比较简单。
