ThreadLocal类可以理解为 ThreadLocalVariable (线程局部变量) ， 提供了get与set等访问接口或方法，这些方法为每个使用该变量的线程都存有一份独立的副本，因此get总是返回当前执行线程在调用set时设置的最新值。可以将ThreadLocal<T>视为 包含了Map<Thread,T>对象，保存了特定于该线程的值。
概括起来说，对于多线程资源共享的问题，同步机制采用了“以时间换空间”的方式，而ThreadLocal采用了“以空间换时间”的方式。前者仅提供一份变量，让不同的线程排队访问，而后者为每一个线程都提供了一份变量，因此可以同时访问而互不影响。
模拟ThreadLocal
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class SimpleThreadLocal<T> {
private Map<Thread, T> valueMap = Collections
.synchronizedMap(new HashMap<Thread, T>());
public void set(T newValue) {
valueMap.put(Thread.currentThread(), newValue); // ①键为线程对象，值为本线程的变量副本
}
public T get() {
Thread currentThread = Thread.currentThread();
T o = valueMap.get(currentThread); // ②返回本线程对应的变量
if (o == null && !valueMap.containsKey(currentThread)) { // ③如果在Map中不存在，放到Map中保存起来。
o = initialValue();
valueMap.put(currentThread, o);
}
return o;
}
public void remove() {
valueMap.remove(Thread.currentThread());
}
protected T initialValue() {
return null;
}
}
实用ThreadLocal
class Count {
private SimpleThreadLocal<Integer> count = new SimpleThreadLocal<Integer>() {
@Override
protected Integer initialValue() {
return 0;
}
};
public Integer increase() {
count.set(count.get() + 1);
return count.get();
}
}
class TestThread implements Runnable {
private Count count;
public TestThread(Count count) {
this.count = count;
}
@Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + "\t" + i
+ "th\t" + count.increase());
}
}
}
public class TestThreadLocal {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Count count = new Count();
Thread t1 = new Thread(new TestThread(count));
Thread t2 = new Thread(new TestThread(count));
Thread t3 = new Thread(new TestThread(count));
Thread t4 = new Thread(new TestThread(count));
t1.start();
t2.start();
t3.start();
t4.start();
}
}
