  39  * A {@link ForkJoinTask} with a completion action performed when
  40  * triggered and there are no remaining pending actions.
  41  * CountedCompleters are in general more robust in the
  42  * presence of subtask stalls and blockage than are other forms of
  43  * ForkJoinTasks, but are less intuitive to program.  Uses of
  44  * CountedCompleter are similar to those of other completion based
  45  * components (such as {@link java.nio.channels.CompletionHandler})
  46  * except that multiple <em>pending</em> completions may be necessary
  47  * to trigger the completion action {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)},
  48  * not just one.
  49  * Unless initialized otherwise, the {@linkplain #getPendingCount pending
  50  * count} starts at zero, but may be (atomically) changed using
  51  * methods {@link #setPendingCount}, {@link #addToPendingCount}, and
  52  * {@link #compareAndSetPendingCount}. Upon invocation of {@link
  53  * #tryComplete}, if the pending action count is nonzero, it is
  54  * decremented; otherwise, the completion action is performed, and if
  55  * this completer itself has a completer, the process is continued
  56  * with its completer.  As is the case with related synchronization
  57  * components such as {@link java.util.concurrent.Phaser Phaser} and
  58  * {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore Semaphore}, these methods
  59  * affect only internal counts; they do not establish any further
  60  * internal bookkeeping. In particular, the identities of pending
  61  * tasks are not maintained. As illustrated below, you can create
  62  * subclasses that do record some or all pending tasks or their
  63  * results when needed.  As illustrated below, utility methods
  64  * supporting customization of completion traversals are also
  65  * provided. However, because CountedCompleters provide only basic
  66  * synchronization mechanisms, it may be useful to create further
  67  * abstract subclasses that maintain linkages, fields, and additional
  68  * support methods appropriate for a set of related usages.
  69  *
  70  * <p>A concrete CountedCompleter class must define method {@link
  71  * #compute}, that should in most cases (as illustrated below), invoke
  72  * {@code tryComplete()} once before returning. The class may also
  73  * optionally override method {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)}
  74  * to perform an action upon normal completion, and method
  75  * {@link #onExceptionalCompletion(Throwable, CountedCompleter)} to
  76  * perform an action upon any exception.
  77  *
  78  * <p>CountedCompleters most often do not bear results, in which case
  79  * they are normally declared as {@code CountedCompleter<Void>}, and
  80  * will always return {@code null} as a result value.  In other cases,
  81  * you should override method {@link #getRawResult} to provide a
  82  * result from {@code join(), invoke()}, and related methods.  In
  83  * general, this method should return the value of a field (or a
  84  * function of one or more fields) of the CountedCompleter object that
  85  * holds the result upon completion. Method {@link #setRawResult} by
  86  * default plays no role in CountedCompleters.  It is possible, but
  87  * rarely applicable, to override this method to maintain other
  88  * objects or fields holding result data.
  89  *
  90  * <p>A CountedCompleter that does not itself have a completer (i.e.,
  91  * one for which {@link #getCompleter} returns {@code null}) can be
  92  * used as a regular ForkJoinTask with this added functionality.
  93  * However, any completer that in turn has another completer serves
  94  * only as an internal helper for other computations, so its own task
  95  * status (as reported in methods such as {@link ForkJoinTask#isDone})
  96  * is arbitrary; this status changes only upon explicit invocations of
  97  * {@link #complete}, {@link ForkJoinTask#cancel},
  98  * {@link ForkJoinTask#completeExceptionally(Throwable)} or upon
  99  * exceptional completion of method {@code compute}. Upon any
 100  * exceptional completion, the exception may be relayed to a task's
 101  * completer (and its completer, and so on), if one exists and it has
 102  * not otherwise already completed. Similarly, cancelling an internal
 103  * CountedCompleter has only a local effect on that completer, so is
 104  * not often useful.
 105  *
 106  * <p><b>Sample Usages.</b>
 107  *
 108  * <p><b>Parallel recursive decomposition.</b> CountedCompleters may
 109  * be arranged in trees similar to those often used with {@link
 110  * RecursiveAction}s, although the constructions involved in setting
 111  * them up typically vary. Here, the completer of each task is its
 112  * parent in the computation tree. Even though they entail a bit more
 113  * bookkeeping, CountedCompleters may be better choices when applying
 114  * a possibly time-consuming operation (that cannot be further
 115  * subdivided) to each element of an array or collection; especially
 116  * when the operation takes a significantly different amount of time
 117  * to complete for some elements than others, either because of
 118  * intrinsic variation (for example I/O) or auxiliary effects such as
 119  * garbage collection.  Because CountedCompleters provide their own
 120  * continuations, other threads need not block waiting to perform
 121  * them.
 122  *
 123  * <p>For example, here is an initial version of a class that uses
 124  * divide-by-two recursive decomposition to divide work into single
 125  * pieces (leaf tasks). Even when work is split into individual calls,
 126  * tree-based techniques are usually preferable to directly forking
 127  * leaf tasks, because they reduce inter-thread communication and
 128  * improve load balancing. In the recursive case, the second of each
 129  * pair of subtasks to finish triggers completion of its parent
 130  * (because no result combination is performed, the default no-op
 131  * implementation of method {@code onCompletion} is not overridden).
 132  * A static utility method sets up the base task and invokes it
 133  * (here, implicitly using the {@link ForkJoinPool#commonPool()}).
 134  *
 135  * <pre> {@code
 136  * class MyOperation<E> { void apply(E e) { ... }  }
 137  *
 138  * class ForEach<E> extends CountedCompleter<Void> {
 139  *
 140  *   public static <E> void forEach(E[] array, MyOperation<E> op) {
 141  *     new ForEach<E>(null, array, op, 0, array.length).invoke();
 142  *   }
 143  *
 144  *   final E[] array; final MyOperation<E> op; final int lo, hi;
 145  *   ForEach(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, MyOperation<E> op, int lo, int hi) {
 146  *     super(p);
 147  *     this.array = array; this.op = op; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
 148  *   }
 149  *
 150  *   public void compute() { // version 1
 151  *     if (hi - lo >= 2) {
 152  *       int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
 153  *       setPendingCount(2); // must set pending count before fork
 154  *       new ForEach(this, array, op, mid, hi).fork(); // right child
 155  *       new ForEach(this, array, op, lo, mid).fork(); // left child
 156  *     }
 157  *     else if (hi > lo)
 158  *       op.apply(array[lo]);
 159  *     tryComplete();
 160  *   }
 161  * }}</pre>
 162  *
 163  * This design can be improved by noticing that in the recursive case,
 164  * the task has nothing to do after forking its right task, so can
 165  * directly invoke its left task before returning. (This is an analog
 166  * of tail recursion removal.)  Also, because the task returns upon
 167  * executing its left task (rather than falling through to invoke
 168  * {@code tryComplete}) the pending count is set to one:
 169  *
 170  * <pre> {@code
 171  * class ForEach<E> ... {
 172  *   ...
 173  *   public void compute() { // version 2
 174  *     if (hi - lo >= 2) {
 175  *       int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
 176  *       setPendingCount(1); // only one pending
 177  *       new ForEach(this, array, op, mid, hi).fork(); // right child
 178  *       new ForEach(this, array, op, lo, mid).compute(); // direct invoke
 179  *     }
 180  *     else {
 181  *       if (hi > lo)
 182  *         op.apply(array[lo]);
 183  *       tryComplete();
 184  *     }
 185  *   }
 186  * }}</pre>
 187  *
 188  * As a further improvement, notice that the left task need not even exist.
 189  * Instead of creating a new one, we can iterate using the original task,
 190  * and add a pending count for each fork.  Additionally, because no task
 191  * in this tree implements an {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)} method,
 192  * {@code tryComplete()} can be replaced with {@link #propagateCompletion}.
 193  *
 194  * <pre> {@code
 195  * class ForEach<E> ... {
 196  *   ...
 197  *   public void compute() { // version 3
 198  *     int l = lo, h = hi;
 199  *     while (h - l >= 2) {
 200  *       int mid = (l + h) >>> 1;
 201  *       addToPendingCount(1);
 202  *       new ForEach(this, array, op, mid, h).fork(); // right child
 203  *       h = mid;
 204  *     }
 205  *     if (h > l)
 206  *       op.apply(array[l]);
 207  *     propagateCompletion();
 208  *   }
 209  * }}</pre>
 210  *
 211  * Additional improvements of such classes might entail precomputing
 212  * pending counts so that they can be established in constructors,
 213  * specializing classes for leaf steps, subdividing by say, four,
 214  * instead of two per iteration, and using an adaptive threshold
 215  * instead of always subdividing down to single elements.
 216  *
 217  * <p><b>Searching.</b> A tree of CountedCompleters can search for a
 218  * value or property in different parts of a data structure, and
 219  * report a result in an {@link
 220  * java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference AtomicReference} as
 221  * soon as one is found. The others can poll the result to avoid
 222  * unnecessary work. (You could additionally {@linkplain #cancel
 223  * cancel} other tasks, but it is usually simpler and more efficient
 224  * to just let them notice that the result is set and if so skip
 225  * further processing.)  Illustrating again with an array using full
 226  * partitioning (again, in practice, leaf tasks will almost always
 227  * process more than one element):
 228  *
 229  * <pre> {@code
 230  * class Searcher<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> {
 231  *   final E[] array; final AtomicReference<E> result; final int lo, hi;
 232  *   Searcher(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, AtomicReference<E> result, int lo, int hi) {
 233  *     super(p);
 234  *     this.array = array; this.result = result; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
 235  *   }
 236  *   public E getRawResult() { return result.get(); }
 237  *   public void compute() { // similar to ForEach version 3
 238  *     int l = lo, h = hi;
 239  *     while (result.get() == null && h >= l) {
 240  *       if (h - l >= 2) {
 241  *         int mid = (l + h) >>> 1;
 242  *         addToPendingCount(1);
 243  *         new Searcher(this, array, result, mid, h).fork();
 244  *         h = mid;
 245  *       }
 246  *       else {
 247  *         E x = array[l];
 248  *         if (matches(x) && result.compareAndSet(null, x))
 249  *           quietlyCompleteRoot(); // root task is now joinable
 250  *         break;
 251  *       }
 252  *     }
 253  *     tryComplete(); // normally complete whether or not found
 254  *   }
 255  *   boolean matches(E e) { ... } // return true if found
 256  *
 257  *   public static <E> E search(E[] array) {
 258  *       return new Searcher<E>(null, array, new AtomicReference<E>(), 0, array.length).invoke();
 259  *   }
 260  * }}</pre>
 261  *
 262  * In this example, as well as others in which tasks have no other
 263  * effects except to compareAndSet a common result, the trailing
 264  * unconditional invocation of {@code tryComplete} could be made
 265  * conditional ({@code if (result.get() == null) tryComplete();})
 266  * because no further bookkeeping is required to manage completions
 267  * once the root task completes.
 268  *
 269  * <p><b>Recording subtasks.</b> CountedCompleter tasks that combine
 270  * results of multiple subtasks usually need to access these results
 271  * in method {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)}. As illustrated in the following
 272  * class (that performs a simplified form of map-reduce where mappings
 273  * and reductions are all of type {@code E}), one way to do this in
 274  * divide and conquer designs is to have each subtask record its
 275  * sibling, so that it can be accessed in method {@code onCompletion}.
 276  * This technique applies to reductions in which the order of
 277  * combining left and right results does not matter; ordered
 278  * reductions require explicit left/right designations.  Variants of
 279  * other streamlinings seen in the above examples may also apply.
 280  *
 281  * <pre> {@code
 282  * class MyMapper<E> { E apply(E v) {  ...  } }
 283  * class MyReducer<E> { E apply(E x, E y) {  ...  } }
 284  * class MapReducer<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> {
 285  *   final E[] array; final MyMapper<E> mapper;

 327  *   }
 328  * }}</pre>
 329  *
 330  * Here, method {@code onCompletion} takes a form common to many
 331  * completion designs that combine results. This callback-style method
 332  * is triggered once per task, in either of the two different contexts
 333  * in which the pending count is, or becomes, zero: (1) by a task
 334  * itself, if its pending count is zero upon invocation of {@code
 335  * tryComplete}, or (2) by any of its subtasks when they complete and
 336  * decrement the pending count to zero. The {@code caller} argument
 337  * distinguishes cases.  Most often, when the caller is {@code this},
 338  * no action is necessary. Otherwise the caller argument can be used
 339  * (usually via a cast) to supply a value (and/or links to other
 340  * values) to be combined.  Assuming proper use of pending counts, the
 341  * actions inside {@code onCompletion} occur (once) upon completion of
 342  * a task and its subtasks. No additional synchronization is required
 343  * within this method to ensure thread safety of accesses to fields of
 344  * this task or other completed tasks.
 345  *
 346  * <p><b>Completion Traversals</b>. If using {@code onCompletion} to
 347  * process completions is inapplicable or inconvenient, you can use
 348  * methods {@link #firstComplete} and {@link #nextComplete} to create
 349  * custom traversals.  For example, to define a MapReducer that only
 350  * splits out right-hand tasks in the form of the third ForEach
 351  * example, the completions must cooperatively reduce along
 352  * unexhausted subtask links, which can be done as follows:
 353  *
 354  * <pre> {@code
 355  * class MapReducer<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> { // version 2
 356  *   final E[] array; final MyMapper<E> mapper;
 357  *   final MyReducer<E> reducer; final int lo, hi;
 358  *   MapReducer<E> forks, next; // record subtask forks in list
 359  *   E result;
 360  *   MapReducer(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper,
 361  *              MyReducer<E> reducer, int lo, int hi, MapReducer<E> next) {
 362  *     super(p);

 371  *       addToPendingCount(1);
 372  *       (forks = new MapReducer(this, array, mapper, reducer, mid, h, forks)).fork();
 373  *       h = mid;
 374  *     }
 375  *     if (h > l)
 376  *       result = mapper.apply(array[l]);
 377  *     // process completions by reducing along and advancing subtask links
 378  *     for (CountedCompleter<?> c = firstComplete(); c != null; c = c.nextComplete()) {
 379  *       for (MapReducer t = (MapReducer)c, s = t.forks; s != null; s = t.forks = s.next)
 380  *         t.result = reducer.apply(t.result, s.result);
 381  *     }
 382  *   }
 383  *   public E getRawResult() { return result; }
 384  *
 385  *   public static <E> E mapReduce(E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper, MyReducer<E> reducer) {

 388  *   }
 389  * }}</pre>
 390  *
 391  * <p><b>Triggers.</b> Some CountedCompleters are themselves never
 392  * forked, but instead serve as bits of plumbing in other designs;
 393  * including those in which the completion of one or more async tasks
 394  * triggers another async task. For example:
 395  *
 396  * <pre> {@code

 398  * class BodyBuilder extends CountedCompleter<...> { ... }
