[Java]_[初级]_[并发下使用AtomicReference来保证原子读写对象]

Posted 2022-01-20 infoworld

场景

1. 在开发Java多线程程序时，和C/C++一样会遇到多线程同时修改共享对象的问题。比如一个缓存HashMap需要更新，那么可以使用标准库的ConcurrentHashMap来替换HashMap作为共享对象。如果是自定义的对象呢，并发访问可能会造成访问错误。

2. 解决并发读写的方案之一是使用synchronized，但它只能作为最后的方案，因为加锁解锁是会耗费很多CPU时间的。而且synchronized多的时候容易造成死锁。

说明

1. 在C/C++里可以使用atomic_load和atomic_store函数以原子方式读写shared_ptr对象，在文章C/C++多线程访问修改集合vector会冲突的两个解决方案^[1]里介绍过. 在Java里也有同样用途的类AtomicReference<E>，它可以通过方法get(),set()原子读写变量。

2. 利用AtomicReference<E>对包裹对象的原子读写，满足多线程的Happen-Before规则，可以用新的对象原子替换旧的对象。比如一个新的HashMap对象set()替换旧的对象后，只要通过get()获取到对象都是新对象，之前的旧可以继续使用，直到它被gc。

3. 内存的原子操作可以理解为某个时刻某个内存地址只允许一个指令操作，即使在多核下。

例子

1. 这里例子原本是使用HashMap来作为缓存的，并且内部元素不多的情况下，可以使用AtomicReference直接替换旧的HashMap。这里还有适用场景就是共享变量不是严格执行值改变之后即时生效的情况(强一致性^[3])，比如一些URL缓存需要一段时间生效，也是通常说的Copy-On=Write原则。

2. 对于共享变量修改之后需要即时生效，只能加锁进行控制。ConcurrentHashMap用的也是原子的方式操作元素，单个方法能做到强一致性，组合方法也只是能做到最终一致性。

3. 以下执行testAtomicReference方法可以验证多线程下的原子替换HashMap。但是如果执行testMapNoAtomicReference方法的话，由于是多线程读写同一个HashMap, 会出现崩溃。
