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

当我需要为可以从多个线程访问或创建的对象提供id时,我通常使用AtomicInteger,并且我通常将它用作我在对象的构造函数中访问的类的静态属性。

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).

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

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。

例如,我有一个生成某些类实例的库。每个实例必须有一个唯一的整数ID,因为这些实例表示发送到服务器的命令,并且每个命令必须有一个唯一的ID。由于允许多个线程并发发送命令,所以我使用AtomicInteger来生成这些id。另一种方法是使用某种锁和常规整数,但这既慢又不优雅。
