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

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

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).

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;
      }
    }

代码取自Java原子示例。

Atomic classes are not general purpose replacements for java.lang.Integer and related classes. They do not define methods such as equals, hashCode and compareTo. (Because atomic variables are expected to be mutated, they are poor choices for hash table keys.) Additionally, classes are provided only for those types that are commonly useful in intended applications. For example, there is no atomic class for representing byte. In those infrequent cases where you would like to do so, you can use an AtomicInteger to hold byte values, and cast appropriately. You can also hold floats using Float.floatToRawIntBits(float) and Float.intBitsToFloat(int) conversions, and doubles using Double.doubleToRawLongBits(double) and Double.longBitsToDouble(long) conversions.

就像gabuzo说的,当我想通过引用传递一个整型时,有时我使用AtomicIntegers。它是一个内置类,具有特定于体系结构的代码,因此它比我可以快速编写的任何MutableInteger更容易,也可能更优化。也就是说,这感觉像是对课程的滥用。

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。
