ThreadLocal——Java多线程

在我们查看很多涉及到Java多线程的源码中，ThreadLocal的出现概率相当的高，但是很多人对它总是感觉似懂非懂。网上有很多文章或者说法，可以把它简单理解成一个Map，每个线程存储了各自不同的value。如果说这些文章都是对的，那我就有几个疑问。
1，这个Map和ThreadLocal到底是什么关系？
2，这个Map到底在哪里，是在ThreadLocal里边还是在Thread里边?
3，Map存储的value很好理解，那它的key是用什么来区分的呢？
好了，本文就是需要通过查看ThreadLocal的源码来解决这些问题。
为了解决这些问题，最重要的其实是查看ThreadLocal的get和set方法。因为我们用的也是这两个方法。
/**
* This class provides thread-local variables. These variables differ from
* their normal counterparts in that each thread that accesses one (via its
* {@code get} or {@code set} method) has its own, independently initialized
* copy of the variable. {@code ThreadLocal} instances are typically private
* static fields in classes that wish to associate state with a thread (e.g.,
* a user ID or Transaction ID).
*
* <p>For example, the class below generates unique identifiers local to each
* thread.
* A thread's id is assigned the first time it invokes {@code ThreadId.get()}
* and remains unchanged on subsequent calls.
* <pre>
* import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;
*
* public class ThreadId {
* // Atomic integer containing the next thread ID to be assigned
* private static final AtomicInteger nextId = new AtomicInteger(0);
*
* // Thread local variable containing each thread's ID
* private static final ThreadLocal<Integer> threadId =
* new ThreadLocal<Integer>() {
* @Override protected Integer initialValue() {
* return nextId.getAndIncrement();
* }
* };
*
* // Returns the current thread's unique ID, assigning it if necessary
* public static int get() {
* return threadId.get();
* }
* }
* </pre>
* <p>Each thread holds an implicit reference to its copy of a thread-local
* variable as long as the thread is alive and the {@code ThreadLocal}
* instance is accessible; after a thread goes away, all of its copies of
* thread-local instances are subject to garbage collection (unless other
* references to these copies exist).

类注释中说明了，最好把ThreadLocal声明成private static fields，后边还指出了一个Thread有可能有多个ThreadLocal实例。
好了，最重要的get和set方法。我们先来查看set。
/**

* to the specified value. Most subclasses will have no need to
* override this method, relying solely on the {@link #initialValue}

if (map != null)
map.set(this, value);
else

}
这个方法是用来设置当前线程对应这个ThreadLocal实例的变量值的。子类不需要关心这个方法，但可以重载initialValue来修改默认的初始值。我们看到，首先是调用了ThreadLocal的getMap方法，传入当前线程，返回一个ThreadLocalMap，如果ThreadLocalMap为空，就createMap，如果不为空，就设置值。
下边我们来查看getMap方法。

非常简单，返回了线程的threadLocals成员变量。说明了这个ThreadLocalMap 是在每个线程自己里边存储的。

这个ThreadLocalMap是一个个性化定制的Map。有关Map的知识，大家可以参阅 HashMap去重原理和内部实现。
回到刚才的问题，如果ThreadLocalMap不为空，是怎么存储值的呢，是通过
map.set(this, value);
这个this是当前的ThreadLocal实例。再看ThreadLocalMap的set方法。
/**
* Set the value associated with key.
*
* @param key the thread local object
* @param value the value to be set
*/
private void set(ThreadLocal<?> key, Object value) {
// We don't use a fast path as with get() because it is at
// least as common to use set() to create new entries as
// it is to replace existing ones, in which case, a fast
// path would fail more often than not.
Entry[] tab = table;
int len = tab.length;
int i = key.threadLocalHashCode & (len-1);
for (Entry e = tab[i];
e != null;
e = tab[i = nextIndex(i, len)]) {
ThreadLocal<?> k = e.get();
if (k == key) {
e.value = value;
return;
}
if (k == null) {
replaceStaleEntry(key, value, i);
return;
}
}
tab[i] = new Entry(key, value);
int sz = ++size;
if (!cleanSomeSlots(i, sz) && sz >= threshold)
rehash();
}
非常明显ThreadLocalMap中的key就是ThreadLocal。其它的createMap和ThreadLocalMap的构造方法，大家自己查看应该就没有问题了。
/**
* Create the map associated with a ThreadLocal. Overridden in
* InheritableThreadLocal.
*
* @param t the current thread
* @param firstValue value for the initial entry of the map
*/
void createMap(Thread t, T firstValue) {
t.threadLocals = new ThreadLocalMap(this, firstValue);
}
/**
* Construct a new map initially containing (firstKey, firstValue).
* ThreadLocalMaps are constructed lazily, so we only create
* one when we have at least one entry to put in it.
*/
ThreadLocalMap(ThreadLocal<?> firstKey, Object firstValue) {
table = new Entry[INITIAL_CAPACITY];
int i = firstKey.threadLocalHashCode & (INITIAL_CAPACITY - 1);
table[i] = new Entry(firstKey, firstValue);
size = 1;
setThreshold(INITIAL_CAPACITY);
}
现在我们再来查看get方法。
/**
* Returns the value in the current thread's copy of this
* thread-local variable. If the variable has no value for the
* current thread, it is first initialized to the value returned
* by an invocation of the {@link #initialValue} method.
*
* @return the current thread's value of this thread-local
*/
public T get() {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
if (map != null) {
ThreadLocalMap.Entry e = map.getEntry(this);
if (e != null) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
T result = (T)e.value;
return result;
}
}
return setInitialValue();
}
还是先要找到ThreadLocalMap ，不为空，直接通过this，也就是当前的ThreadLocal为key去map中查找value。如果为空就直接返回setInitialValue方法。在这个方法中，首先把默认的值存储进来，然后返回这个值。
/**
* Variant of set() to establish initialValue. Used instead
* of set() in case user has overridden the set() method.
*
* @return the initial value
*/
private T setInitialValue() {
T value = initialValue();
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
if (map != null)
map.set(this, value);
else
createMap(t, value);
return value;
}
到此为止是不是对ThreadLocal有更清晰的认识了呢。现在我们可以来回答开始提出的几个问题了。
1，ThreadLocalMap是在ThreadLocal中定义的一个内部类。
2，这个ThreadLocalMap是Thread的一个成员变量。
3，ThreadLocalMap的key就是ThreadLocal的对象实例。
