Conceptually, a semaphore maintains a set of * permits. Each {@link #acquire} blocks if necessary until a permit is * available, and then takes it. Each {@link #release} adds a permit, * potentially releasing a blocking acquirer. * However, no actual permit objects are used; the {@code Semaphore} just * keeps a count of the number available and acts accordingly. * *

Semaphores are often used to restrict the number of threads than can * access some (physical or logical) resource. For example, here is * a class that uses a semaphore to control access to a pool of items: *

 {@code
 * class Pool {
 *   private static final int MAX_AVAILABLE = 100;
 *   private final Semaphore available = new Semaphore(MAX_AVAILABLE, true);
 *
 *   public Object getItem() throws InterruptedException {
 *     available.acquire();
 *     return getNextAvailableItem();
 *   }
 *
 *   public void putItem(Object x) {
 *     if (markAsUnused(x))
 *       available.release();
 *   }
 *
 *   // Not a particularly efficient data structure; just for demo
 *
 *   protected Object[] items = ...; // whatever kinds of items being managed
 *   protected boolean[] used = new boolean[MAX_AVAILABLE];
 *
 *   protected synchronized Object getNextAvailableItem() {
 *     for (int i = 0; i < MAX_AVAILABLE; ++i) {
 *       if (!used[i]) {
 *         used[i] = true;
 *         return items[i];
 *       }
 *     }
 *     return null; // not reached
 *   }
 *
 *   protected synchronized boolean markAsUnused(Object item) {
 *     for (int i = 0; i < MAX_AVAILABLE; ++i) {
 *       if (item == items[i]) {
 *         if (used[i]) {
 *           used[i] = false;
 *           return true;
 *         } else
 *           return false;
 *       }
 *     }
 *     return false;
 *   }
 * }}
* *

Before obtaining an item each thread must acquire a permit from * the semaphore, guaranteeing that an item is available for use. When * the thread has finished with the item it is returned back to the * pool and a permit is returned to the semaphore, allowing another * thread to acquire that item. Note that no synchronization lock is * held when {@link #acquire} is called as that would prevent an item * from being returned to the pool. The semaphore encapsulates the * synchronization needed to restrict access to the pool, separately * from any synchronization needed to maintain the consistency of the * pool itself. * *

A semaphore initialized to one, and which is used such that it * only has at most one permit available, can serve as a mutual * exclusion lock. This is more commonly known as a binary * semaphore, because it only has two states: one permit * available, or zero permits available. When used in this way, the * binary semaphore has the property (unlike many {@link java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock} * implementations), that the "lock" can be released by a * thread other than the owner (as semaphores have no notion of * ownership). This can be useful in some specialized contexts, such * as deadlock recovery. * *

The constructor for this class optionally accepts a * fairness parameter. When set false, this class makes no * guarantees about the order in which threads acquire permits. In * particular, barging is permitted, that is, a thread * invoking {@link #acquire} can be allocated a permit ahead of a * thread that has been waiting - logically the new thread places itself at * the head of the queue of waiting threads. When fairness is set true, the * semaphore guarantees that threads invoking any of the {@link * #acquire() acquire} methods are selected to obtain permits in the order in * which their invocation of those methods was processed * (first-in-first-out; FIFO). Note that FIFO ordering necessarily * applies to specific internal points of execution within these * methods. So, it is possible for one thread to invoke * {@code acquire} before another, but reach the ordering point after * the other, and similarly upon return from the method. * Also note that the untimed {@link #tryAcquire() tryAcquire} methods do not * honor the fairness setting, but will take any permits that are * available. * *

Generally, semaphores used to control resource access should be * initialized as fair, to ensure that no thread is starved out from * accessing a resource. When using semaphores for other kinds of * synchronization control, the throughput advantages of non-fair * ordering often outweigh fairness considerations. * *

This class also provides convenience methods to {@link * #acquire(int) acquire} and {@link #release(int) release} multiple * permits at a time. These methods are generally more efficient and * effective than loops. However, they do not establish any preference * order. For example, if thread A invokes {@code s.acquire(3}) and * thread B invokes {@code s.acquire(2)}, and two permits become * available, then there is no guarantee that thread B will obtain * them unless its acquire came first and Semaphore {@code s} is in * fair mode. * *

Memory consistency effects: Actions in a thread prior to calling * a "release" method such as {@code release()} * happen-before * actions following a successful "acquire" method such as {@code acquire()} * in another thread. * * @since 1.5 * @author Doug Lea */ public class Semaphore implements java.io.Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = -3222578661600680210L; /** All mechanics via AbstractQueuedSynchronizer subclass */ private final Sync sync; /** * Synchronization implementation for semaphore.
