Class SynchronousQueue<E>

java.lang.Object
  java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
      java.util.AbstractQueue<E>
          java.util.concurrent.SynchronousQueue<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements held in this collection

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, BlockingQueue<E>, Queue<E>

---

public class SynchronousQueue<E>
extends AbstractQueue<E>
implements BlockingQueue<E>, Serializable

A blocking queue in which each put must wait for a take, and vice versa. A synchronous queue does not have any internal capacity, not even a capacity of one. You cannot peek at a synchronous queue because an element is only present when you try to take it; you cannot add an element (using any method) unless another thread is trying to remove it; you cannot iterate as there is nothing to iterate. The head of the queue is the element that the first queued thread is trying to add to the queue; if there are no queued threads then no element is being added and the head is null. For purposes of other Collection methods (for example contains), a SynchronousQueue acts as an empty collection. This queue does not permit null elements.

Synchronous queues are similar to rendezvous channels used in CSP and Ada. They are well suited for handoff designs, in which an object running in one thread must sync up with an object running in another thread in order to hand it some information, event, or task.

This class supports an optional fairness policy for ordering waiting producer and consumer threads. By default, this ordering is not guaranteed. However, a queue constructed with fairness set to true grants threads access in FIFO order. Fairness generally decreases throughput but reduces variability and avoids starvation.

This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Parameters:

o - the element to add

drainTo

public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)

Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue

Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them into the given collection. This operation may be more efficient than repeatedly polling this queue.

Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

Specified by:

drainTo in interface BlockingQueue<E>

Parameters:

c - the collection to transfer elements into

Returns:

the number of elements transferred.

---

drainTo

public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c,
                   int maxElements)

Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue

Removes at most the given number of available elements from this queue and adds them into the given collection. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

Specified by:

drainTo in interface BlockingQueue<E>

Parameters:

c - the collection to transfer elements into

maxElements - the maximum number of elements to transfer

Returns:

the number of elements transferred.
