ThreadLocal类顾名思义可以理解为线程本地变量。也就是说如果定义了一个ThreadLocal,每个线程往这个ThreadLocal中读写是线程隔离,互相之间不会影响的。它提供了一种将可变数据通过每个线程有自己的独立副本从而实现线程封闭的机制。Thread类有一个类型为ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap的实例变量threadLocals,也就是说每个线程有一个自己的ThreadLocalMap。ThreadLocalMap有自己的独立实现,可以简单地将它的key视作ThreadLocal,value为代码中放入的值(实际上key并不是ThreadLocal本身,而是它的一个弱引用)。每个线程在往某个ThreadLocal里塞值的时候,都会往自己的ThreadLocalMap里存,读也是以某个ThreadLocal作为引用,在自己的map里找对应的key,从而实现了线程隔离。

public class TestThreadLocal implements Runnable { ThreadLocal studentLocal1 = new ThreadLocal(); ThreadLocal studentLocal2 = new ThreadLocal(); public static void main(String[] args) { TestThreadLocal t = new TestThreadLocal(); new Thread(t, "t1").start(); } @Override public void run() { Student s1 = new Student(); s1.setAge(10); studentLocal1.set(s1); //threadLocalHashCode = -1401181199 Student s2 = new Student(); s2.setAge(20); studentLocal2.set(s2); //threadLocalHashCode = 239350328 } } class Student { private int age; public int getAge() { return age; } public void setAge(int age) { this.age = age; } }
1.一个ThreadLocal对象只能存储一个变量
2.Thread有一个变量 ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap,用来存储当前线程下的ThreadLocal集合
3.ThreadLocal的threadLocalHashCode是固定的,源码如下:
private final int threadLocalHashCode = nextHashCode(); /** * The next hash code to be given out. Updated atomically. Starts at zero. */ private static AtomicInteger nextHashCode = new AtomicInteger(); /** * The difference between successively generated hash codes */ private static final int HASH_INCREMENT = 0x61c88647; /** * Returns the next hash code. */ private static int nextHashCode() { return nextHashCode.getAndAdd(HASH_INCREMENT); }

public class TestThreadLocal implements Runnable { ThreadLocal studentLocal = new ThreadLocal(); public static void main(String[] args) { TestThreadLocal t = new TestThreadLocal(); new Thread(t, "t1").start(); new Thread(t, "t2").start(); } @Override public void run() { accessStudent(); } private void accessStudent() { Student s = this.getStudent(); Random random = new Random(); int age = random.nextInt(100); System.out.println(Thread.currentThread() + "set age " + ":" + age); s.setAge(age); System.out.println(Thread.currentThread() + "first get age " + ":" + s.getAge()); try { Thread.sleep(500); } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } System.out.println(Thread.currentThread() + "second get age " + ":" + s.getAge()); } public Student getStudent() { Student s = (Student) studentLocal.get(); if (s == null) { s = new Student(); studentLocal.set(s); } return s; } } class Student { private int age; public int getAge() { return age; } public void setAge(int age) { this.age = age; } }
执行结果:
Thread[t2,5,main]set age :15 Thread[t1,5,main]set age :13 Thread[t1,5,main]first get age :13 Thread[t2,5,main]first get age :15 Thread[t2,5,main]second get age :15 Thread[t1,5,main]second get age :13
1.ThreadLocal的作用是提供线程内的局部变量,不同的线程之间不会相互干扰

1.ThreadLocalMap中Entry[]环形数组,初始化长度16,后续每次都是2倍扩容。数组中元素Entry的逻辑上的key为某个ThreadLocal对象(实际上是指向该ThreadLocal对象的弱引用),value为代码中该线程往该ThreadLoacl变量实际塞入的值。因为如果这里使用普通的key-value形式来定义存储结构,实质上就会造成节点的生命周期与线程强绑定,只要线程没有销毁,那么节点在GC分析中一直处于可达状态,没办法被回收,而程序本身也无法判断是否可以清理节点。弱引用是Java中四档引用的第三档,比软引用更加弱一些,如果一个对象没有强引用链可达,那么一般活不过下一次GC。当某个ThreadLocal已经没有强引用可达,则随着它被垃圾回收,在ThreadLocalMap里对应的Entry的键值会失效,这为ThreadLocalMap本身的垃圾清理提供了便利。
2.InheritableThreadLocal对比ThreadLocal唯一不同是子线程会继承父线程变量,并自定义赋值函数。
3.如果使用了线程池,那么小心线程回收后ThreadLocal、InheritableThreadLocal变量要remove,否则线程池回收后,变量还在内存中(key是弱引用被回收,但是value还在,内存泄漏)。
4.ThreadLocalMap使用线性探测法来解决散列冲突,所以实际上Entry[]数组在程序逻辑上是作为一个环形存在的。虚线表示弱引用,实线表示强引用。
