前几天我偶然发现了一个不安全的包装,它的功能让我感到惊讶。

当然,这个类是没有记录的,但是我想知道是否有一个很好的理由使用它。可能会出现哪些需要使用它的场景?如何在现实场景中使用它?

此外,如果您确实需要它,这难道不表明您的设计可能存在问题吗?

为什么Java包含这个类?

I was recently working on reimplementing the JVM and found that a surprising number of classes are implemented in terms of Unsafe. The class is mostly designed for the Java library implementers and contains features that are fundamentally unsafe but necessary for building fast primitives. For example, there are methods for getting and writing raw field offsets, using hardware-level synchronization, allocating and freeing memory, etc. It is not intended to be used by normal Java programmers; it's undocumented, implementation-specific, and inherently unsafe (hence the name!). Moreover, I think that the SecurityManager will disallow access to it in almost all cases.

简而言之,它的存在主要是为了允许库实现者访问底层机器,而不必在某些类(如AtomicInteger native)中声明每个方法。在常规Java编程中不需要使用或担心它,因为重点是使其余的库足够快,从而不需要这种访问。

通过在一些代码搜索引擎中运行搜索,我得到了以下示例:

Java对象符号——使用它来进行更有效的数组处理,引用javadoc

类来获取对{@link Unsafe}对象的访问。{@link安全} 为了允许对数组进行有效的CAS操作,*是必需的。注意 {@link java.util.concurrent中的版本。原子},例如{@link java.util.concurrent.atomic。AtomicLongArray},需要额外的内存排序 这些保证在这些算法中通常是不需要的 在大多数处理器上都很昂贵。

VM "intrinsification." ie CAS (Compare-And-Swap) used in Lock-Free Hash Tables eg:sun.misc.Unsafe.compareAndSwapInt it can make real JNI calls into native code that contains special instructions for CAS read more about CAS here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compare-and-swap The sun.misc.Unsafe functionality of the host VM can be used to allocate uninitialized objects and then interpret the constructor invocation as any other method call. One can track the data from the native address.It is possible to retrieve an object’s memory address using the java.lang.Unsafe class, and operate on its fields directly via unsafe get/put methods! Compile time optimizations for JVM. HIgh performance VM using "magic", requiring low-level operations. eg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jikes_RVM Allocating memory, sun.misc.Unsafe.allocateMemory eg:- DirectByteBuffer constructor internally calls it when ByteBuffer.allocateDirect is invoked Tracing the call stack and replaying with values instantiated by sun.misc.Unsafe, useful for instrumentation sun.misc.Unsafe.arrayBaseOffset and arrayIndexScale can be used to develop arraylets,a technique for efficiently breaking up large arrays into smaller objects to limit the real-time cost of scan, update or move operations on large objects http://robaustin.wikidot.com/how-to-write-to-direct-memory-locations-in-java

为了有效地复制内存(至少对于短块,复制速度比System.arraycopy()快);由Java LZF和Snappy编解码器使用。它们使用'getLong'和'putLong',这比逐字节复制要快;在复制16/32/64字节块时尤其有效。
