java并发之固定对象与实例
Immutable Objects
An object is considered immutable if its state cannot change after it is constructed. Maximum reliance on immutable objects is widely accepted as a sound strategy for creating simple, reliable code.
Immutable objects are particularly useful in concurrent applications. Since they cannot change state, they cannot be corrupted by thread interference or observed in an inconsistent state.
Programmers are often reluctant to employ immutable objects, because they worry about the cost of creating a new object as opposed to updating an object in place. The impact of object creation is often overestimated, and can be offset by some of the efficiencies associated with immutable objects. These include decreased overhead due to garbage collection, and the elimination of code needed to protect mutable objects from corruption.
The following subsections take a class whose instances are mutable and derives a class with immutable instances from it. In so doing, they give general rules for this kind of conversion and demonstrate some of the advantages of immutable objects.
A Synchronized Class Example
The class, SynchronizedRGB, defines objects that represent colors. Each object represents the color as three integers that stand for primary color values and a string that gives the name of the color.
public class SynchronizedRGB {
// Values must be between 0 and 255.
private int red;
private int green;
private int blue;
private String name;
private void check(int red,
int green,
int blue) {
if (red < 0 || red > 255
|| green < 0 || green > 255
|| blue < 0 || blue > 255) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
}
public SynchronizedRGB(int red,
int green,
int blue,
String name) {
check(red, green, blue);
this.red = red;
this.green = green;
this.blue = blue;
this.name = name;
}
public void set(int red,
int green,
int blue,
String name) {
check(red, green, blue);
synchronized (this) {
this.red = red;
this.green = green;
this.blue = blue;
this.name = name;
}
}
public synchronized int getRGB() {
return ((red << 16) | (green << 8) | blue);
}
public synchronized String getName() {
return name;
}
public synchronized void invert() {
red = 255 - red;
green = 255 - green;
blue = 255 - blue;
name = "Inverse of " + name;
}
}
SynchronizedRGB must be used carefully to avoid being seen in an inconsistent state. Suppose, for example, a thread executes the following code:
SynchronizedRGB color =
new SynchronizedRGB(0, 0, 0, "Pitch Black");
...
int myColorInt = color.getRGB(); //Statement 1
String myColorName = color.getName(); //Statement 2
If another thread invokes color.set after Statement 1 but before Statement 2, the value of myColorInt won't match the value of myColorName. To avoid this outcome, the two statements must be bound together:
synchronized (color) {
int myColorInt = color.getRGB();
String myColorName = color.getName();
}
This kind of inconsistency is only possible for mutable objects — it will not be an issue for the immutable version ofSynchronizedRGB.
SynchronizedRGB，定义颜色对象的类。每一个对象包括三个颜色需要的基本的值和他们的字符串性质的名字。
1 public class SynchronizedRGB { 2 3 // Values must be between 0 and 255. 4 private int red; 5 private int green; 6 private int blue; 7 private String name; 8 9 private void check(int red, 10 int green, 11 int blue) { 12 if (red < 0 || red > 255 13 || green < 0 || green > 255 14 || blue < 0 || blue > 255) { 15 throw new IllegalArgumentException(); 16 } 17 } 18 19 public SynchronizedRGB(int red, 20 int green, 21 int blue, 22 String name) { 23 check(red, green, blue); 24 this.red = red; 25 this.green = green; 26 this.blue = blue; 27 this.name = name; 28 } 29 30 public void set(int red, 31 int green, 32 int blue, 33 String name) { 34 check(red, green, blue); 35 synchronized (this) { 36 this.red = red; 37 this.green = green; 38 this.blue = blue; 39 this.name = name; 40 } 41 } 42 43 public synchronized int getRGB() { 44 return ((red << 16) | (green << 8) | blue); 45 } 46 47 public synchronized String getName() { 48 return name; 49 } 50 51 public synchronized void invert() { 52 red = 255 - red; 53 green = 255 - green; 54 blue = 255 - blue; 55 name = "Inverse of " + name; 56 } 57 }
SynchronizedRGB必须在不一致的状态下必须谨慎使用。假如，例如，一个线程执行如下代码：
1 SynchronizedRGB color = 2 new SynchronizedRGB(0, 0, 0, "Pitch Black"); 3 ... 4 int myColorInt = color.getRGB(); //Statement 1 5 String myColorName = color.getName(); //Statement 2
如果另外一个线程在语句一执行之后语句二执行之前又另外一个线程执行color.set方法。myColorInt的值将会匹配myColorName的值。为了避免这种情况发生，这两天语句需要绑到一起。
synchronized (color) { int myColorInt = color.getRGB(); String myColorName = color.getName(); }
这种不一致唯一可能引起的可变对象，对于固定对象来说这是永远不会发生的。
