我理解AtomicInteger和其他原子变量允许并发访问。在什么情况下通常使用这个类?


当前回答

关键是它们允许安全的并发访问和修改。它们通常在多线程环境中用作计数器——在引入它们之前,这必须是一个用户编写的类,将各种方法包装在同步块中。

AtomicInteger有两个主要用途:

As an atomic counter (incrementAndGet(), etc) that can be used by many threads concurrently As a primitive that supports compare-and-swap instruction (compareAndSet()) to implement non-blocking algorithms. Here is an example of non-blocking random number generator from Brian Göetz's Java Concurrency In Practice: public class AtomicPseudoRandom extends PseudoRandom { private AtomicInteger seed; AtomicPseudoRandom(int seed) { this.seed = new AtomicInteger(seed); } public int nextInt(int n) { while (true) { int s = seed.get(); int nextSeed = calculateNext(s); if (seed.compareAndSet(s, nextSeed)) { int remainder = s % n; return remainder > 0 ? remainder : remainder + n; } } } ... } As you can see, it basically works almost the same way as incrementAndGet(), but performs arbitrary calculation (calculateNext()) instead of increment (and processes the result before return).

如果您查看AtomicInteger具有的方法,您将注意到它们倾向于对应于对int的常见操作。例如:

static AtomicInteger i;

// Later, in a thread
int current = i.incrementAndGet();

是线程安全的版本:

static int i;

// Later, in a thread
int current = ++i;

方法映射如下: ++i是i. incrementandget () i++就是i. getandincrement () ——i是i. decrementandget () i——是i. getanddecrement () I = x = I .set(x) X = I = X = I .get()

还有其他方便的方法,如compareAndSet或addAndGet

compareAndSet()函数的简单示例:

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger; 

public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 

        // Initially value as 0 
        AtomicInteger val = new AtomicInteger(0); 

        // Prints the updated value 
        System.out.println("Previous value: "
                           + val); 

        // Checks if previous value was 0 
        // and then updates it 
        boolean res = val.compareAndSet(0, 6); 

        // Checks if the value was updated. 
        if (res) 
            System.out.println("The value was"
                               + " updated and it is "
                           + val); 
        else
            System.out.println("The value was "
                               + "not updated"); 
      } 
  } 

打印出来的是: 前值:0 该值被更新为6 另一个简单的例子:

    import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger; 

public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 

        // Initially value as 0 
        AtomicInteger val 
            = new AtomicInteger(0); 

        // Prints the updated value 
        System.out.println("Previous value: "
                           + val); 

         // Checks if previous value was 0 
        // and then updates it 
        boolean res = val.compareAndSet(10, 6); 

          // Checks if the value was updated. 
          if (res) 
            System.out.println("The value was"
                               + " updated and it is "
                               + val); 
        else
            System.out.println("The value was "
                               + "not updated"); 
    } 
} 

打印出来的是: 前值:0 没有更新该值

在Java 8中,原子类扩展了两个有趣的函数:

int getAndUpdate(IntUnaryOperator updateFunction) int updateAndGet(IntUnaryOperator updateFunction)

两者都使用updateFunction来执行原子值的更新。区别在于第一个返回旧值,第二个返回新值。updateFunction可以实现为执行比标准操作更复杂的“比较和设置”操作。例如,它可以检查原子计数器不低于零,通常它需要同步,这里的代码是无锁的:

    public class Counter {

      private final AtomicInteger number;

      public Counter(int number) {
        this.number = new AtomicInteger(number);
      }

      /** @return true if still can decrease */
      public boolean dec() {
        // updateAndGet(fn) executed atomically:
        return number.updateAndGet(n -> (n > 0) ? n - 1 : n) > 0;
      }
    }
