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?

使用它来有效地访问和分配大量的内存,例如在您自己的体素引擎中!(例如《我的世界》风格的游戏。)

In my experience, the JVM is often unable to eliminate bounds-checking in place you truly need it. For example, if you're iterating over a large array, but the actual memory access is tucked underneath a non-virtual* method call in the loop, the JVM may still perform a bounds check with each array access, rather than once just before the loop. Thus, for potentially large performance gains, you can eliminate JVM bounds-checking inside the loop via a method which employs sun.misc.Unsafe to access the memory directly, making sure to do any bounds-checking yourself at the correct places. (You are gonna bounds check at some level, right?) *by non-virtual, I mean the JVM shouldn't have to dynamically resolve whatever your particular method is, because you've correctly guaranteed that class/method/instance are some combination of static/final/what-have-you.

对于我自己开发的体素引擎来说,这在块生成和序列化期间(在我同时读取/写入整个数组的低位置)带来了显著的性能提升。结果可能会有所不同,但如果缺乏界限消除是您的问题,那么这将解决它。

There are some potentially major problems with this: specifically, when you provide the ability to access memory without bounds-checking to clients of your interface, they will probably abuse it. (Don't forget that hackers can also be clients of your interface... especially in the case of a voxel engine written in Java.) Thus, you should either design your interface in a way such that memory access cannot be abused, or you should be extremely careful to validate user-data before it can ever, ever mingle with your dangerous interface. Considering the catastrophic things a hacker can do with unchecked memory access, it's probably best to take both approaches.

基于对使用eclipse进行引用跟踪的Java 1.6.12库的简要分析,似乎Unsafe的每个有用功能都以有用的方式公开了。

CAS操作通过Atomic*类公开。 内存操作函数通过DirectByteBuffer公开 同步指令(park,unpark)通过AbstractQueuedSynchronizer公开,而AbstractQueuedSynchronizer又由Lock实现使用。

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。

通过在一些代码搜索引擎中运行搜索,我得到了以下示例:

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!

堆外集合对于分配大量内存并在使用后立即释放内存而不受GC干扰可能很有用。我基于sun.misc.Unsafe编写了一个用于处理堆外数组/列表的库。
