package java.util.concurrent.locks;
/**
* Basic thread blocking primitives for creating locks and other
* synchronization classes.
*
* This class associates, with each thread that uses it, a permit
* (in the sense of the {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore
* Semaphore} class). A call to {@code park} will return immediately
* if the permit is available, consuming it in the process; otherwise
* it may block. A call to {@code unpark} makes the permit
* available, if it was not already available. (Unlike with Semaphores
* though, permits do not accumulate. There is at most one.)
*
*
Methods {@code park} and {@code unpark} provide efficient
* means of blocking and unblocking threads that do not encounter the
* problems that cause the deprecated methods {@code Thread.suspend}
* and {@code Thread.resume} to be unusable for such purposes: Races
* between one thread invoking {@code park} and another thread trying
* to {@code unpark} it will preserve liveness, due to the
* permit. Additionally, {@code park} will return if the caller's
* thread was interrupted, and timeout versions are supported. The
* {@code park} method may also return at any other time, for "no
* reason", so in general must be invoked within a loop that rechecks
* conditions upon return. In this sense {@code park} serves as an
* optimization of a "busy wait" that does not waste as much time
* spinning, but must be paired with an {@code unpark} to be
* effective.
*
*
The three forms of {@code park} each also support a
* {@code blocker} object parameter. This object is recorded while
* the thread is blocked to permit monitoring and diagnostic tools to
* identify the reasons that threads are blocked. (Such tools may
* access blockers using method {@link #getBlocker}.) The use of these
* forms rather than the original forms without this parameter is
* strongly encouraged. The normal argument to supply as a
* {@code blocker} within a lock implementation is {@code this}.
*
*
These methods are designed to be used as tools for creating
* higher-level synchronization utilities, and are not in themselves
* useful for most concurrency control applications. The {@code park}
* method is designed for use only in constructions of the form:
*
while (!canProceed()) { ... LockSupport.park(this); }
* where neither {@code canProceed} nor any other actions prior to the
* call to {@code park} entail locking or blocking. Because only one
* permit is associated with each thread, any intermediary uses of
* {@code park} could interfere with its intended effects.
*
* Sample Usage. Here is a sketch of a first-in-first-out
* non-reentrant lock class:
*
{@code
* class FIFOMutex {
* private final AtomicBoolean locked = new AtomicBoolean(false);
* private final Queue waiters
* = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue();
*
* public void lock() {
* boolean wasInterrupted = false;
* Thread current = Thread.currentThread();
* waiters.add(current);
*
* // Block while not first in queue or cannot acquire lock
* while (waiters.peek() != current ||
* !locked.compareAndSet(false, true)) {
* LockSupport.park(this);
* if (Thread.interrupted()) // ignore interrupts while waiting
* wasInterrupted = true;
* }
*
* waiters.remove();
* if (wasInterrupted) // reassert interrupt status on exit
* current.interrupt();
* }
*
* public void unlock() {
* locked.set(false);
* LockSupport.unpark(waiters.peek());
* }
* }}
