java.lang.Object java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock
public class ReentrantLock
A reentrant mutual exclusion Lock
with the same basic
behavior and semantics as the implicit monitor lock accessed using
synchronized methods and statements, but with extended
capabilities.
A ReentrantLock is owned by the thread last
successfully locking, but not yet unlocking it. A thread invoking
lock will return, successfully acquiring the lock, when
the lock is not owned by another thread. The method will return
immediately if the current thread already owns the lock. This can
be checked using methods isHeldByCurrentThread()
, and getHoldCount()
.
The constructor for this class accepts an optional
fairness parameter. When set true, under
contention, locks favor granting access to the longest-waiting
thread. Otherwise this lock does not guarantee any particular
access order. Programs using fair locks accessed by many threads
may display lower overall throughput (i.e., are slower; often much
slower) than those using the default setting, but have smaller
variances in times to obtain locks and guarantee lack of
starvation. Note however, that fairness of locks does not guarantee
fairness of thread scheduling. Thus, one of many threads using a
fair lock may obtain it multiple times in succession while other
active threads are not progressing and not currently holding the
lock.
Also note that the untimed tryLock
method does not
honor the fairness setting. It will succeed if the lock
is available even if other threads are waiting.
It is recommended practice to always immediately follow a call to lock with a try block, most typically in a before/after construction such as:
class X { private final ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock(); // ... public void m() { lock.lock(); // block until condition holds try { // ... method body } finally { lock.unlock() } } }
In addition to implementing the Lock
interface, this
class defines methods isLocked and
getLockQueueLength, as well as some associated
protected access methods that may be useful for
instrumentation and monitoring.
Serialization of this class behaves in the same way as built-in locks: a deserialized lock is in the unlocked state, regardless of its state when serialized.
This lock supports a maximum of 2147483648 recursive locks by the same thread.

public void lock()
Acquires the lock if it is not held by another thread and returns immediately, setting the lock hold count to one.
If the current thread already holds the lock then the hold count is incremented by one and the method returns immediately.
If the lock is held by another thread then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until the lock has been acquired, at which time the lock hold count is set to one.
public void lockInterruptibly() throws InterruptedException
interrupted
.
Acquires the lock if it is not held by another thread and returns immediately, setting the lock hold count to one.
If the current thread already holds this lock then the hold count is incremented by one and the method returns immediately.
If the lock is held by another thread then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of two things happens:
interrupts
the current
thread.
If the lock is acquired by the current thread then the lock hold count is set to one.
If the current thread:
interrupted
while acquiring
the lock,
InterruptedException
is thrown and the current thread's
interrupted status is cleared.
In this implementation, as this method is an explicit interruption point, preference is given to responding to the interrupt over normal or reentrant acquisition of the lock.

InterruptedException

public boolean tryLock()
Acquires the lock if it is not held by another thread and
returns immediately with the value true, setting the
lock hold count to one. Even when this lock has been set to use a
fair ordering policy, a call to tryLock() will
immediately acquire the lock if it is available, whether or not
other threads are currently waiting for the lock.
This "barging" behavior can be useful in certain
circumstances, even though it breaks fairness. If you want to honor
the fairness setting for this lock, then use
tryLock(0, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
which is almost equivalent (it also detects interruption).
If the current thread already holds this lock then the hold count is incremented by one and the method returns true.
If the lock is held by another thread then this method will return immediately with the value false.
public boolean tryLock(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException
interrupted
.
Acquires the lock if it is not held by another thread and returns
immediately with the value true, setting the lock hold count
to one. If this lock has been set to use a fair ordering policy then
an available lock will not be acquired if any other threads
are waiting for the lock. This is in contrast to the tryLock()
method. If you want a timed tryLock that does permit barging on
a fair lock then combine the timed and un-timed forms together:
if (lock.tryLock() || lock.tryLock(timeout, unit) ) { ... }
If the current thread already holds this lock then the hold count is incremented by one and the method returns true.
If the lock is held by another thread then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of three things happens:
interrupts
the current
thread; or
If the lock is acquired then the value true is returned and the lock hold count is set to one.
If the current thread:
interrupted
while acquiring
the lock,
InterruptedException
is thrown and the current thread's
interrupted status is cleared.
If the specified waiting time elapses then the value false is returned. If the time is less than or equal to zero, the method will not wait at all.
In this implementation, as this method is an explicit interruption point, preference is given to responding to the interrupt over normal or reentrant acquisition of the lock, and over reporting the elapse of the waiting time.

public void unlock()
If the current thread is the
holder of this lock then the hold count is decremented. If the
hold count is now zero then the lock is released. If the
current thread is not the holder of this lock then IllegalMonitorStateException
is thrown.

interrupted status will be cleared.
newCondition
in interface Lock
public int getHoldCount()
A thread has a hold on a lock for each lock action that is not matched by an unlock action.
The hold count information is typically only used for testing and debugging purposes. For example, if a certain section of code should not be entered with the lock already held then we can assert that fact:
class X { ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock(); // ... public void m() { assert lock.getHoldCount() == 0; lock.lock(); try { // ... method body } finally { lock.unlock(); } } }
public boolean isHeldByCurrentThread()
Analogous to the Thread.holdsLock(java.lang.Object)
method for built-in
monitor locks, this method is typically used for debugging and
testing. For example, a method that should only be called while
a lock is held can assert that this is the case:
class X { ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock(); // ... public void m() { assert lock.isHeldByCurrentThread(); // ... method body } }
It can also be used to ensure that a reentrant lock is used in a non-reentrant manner, for example:
class X { ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock(); // ... public void m() { assert !lock.isHeldByCurrentThread(); lock.lock(); try { // ... method body } finally { lock.unlock(); } } }
