java中wait和notify

在JAVA中，是没有类似于PV操作、进程互斥等相关的方法的。JAVA的进程同步是通过synchronized()来实现的，需要说明的是，JAVA的synchronized()方法类似于操作系统概念中的互斥内存块，在JAVA中的Object类型中，都是带有一个内存锁的，在有线程获取该内存锁后，其它线程无法访问该内存，从而实现JAVA中简单的同步、互斥操作。明白这个原理，就能理解为什么synchronized(this)与synchronized(static XXX)的区别了，synchronized就是针对内存区块申请内存锁，this关键字代表类的一个对象，所以其内存锁是针对相同对象的互斥操作，而static成员属于类专有，其内存空间为该类所有成员共有，这就导致synchronized()对static成员加锁，相当于对类加锁，也就是在该类的所有成员间实现互斥，在同一时间只有一个线程可访问该类的实例。如果只是简单的想要实现在JAVA中的线程互斥，明白这些基本就已经够了。但如果需要在线程间相互唤醒的话就需要借助Object.wait(),
Object.nofity()了。

Obj.wait()，与Obj.notify()必须要与synchronized(Obj)一起使用，也就是wait,与notify是针对已经获取了Obj锁进行操作，从语法角度来说就是Obj.wait(),Obj.notify必须在synchronized(Obj){...}语句块内。从功能上来说wait就是说线程在获取对象锁后，主动释放对象锁，同时本线程休眠。直到有其它线程调用对象的notify()唤醒该线程，才能继续获取对象锁，并继续执行。相应的notify()就是对对象锁的唤醒操作。但有一点需要注意的是notify()调用后，并不是马上就释放对象锁的，而是在相应的synchronized(){}语句块执行结束，自动释放锁后，JVM会在wait()对象锁的线程中随机选取一线程，赋予其对象锁，唤醒线程，继续执行。这样就提供了在线程间同步、唤醒的操作。Thread.sleep()与Object.wait()二者都可以暂停当前线程，释放CPU控制权，主要的区别在于Object.wait()在释放CPU同时，释放了对象锁的控制。

单单在概念上理解清楚了还不够，需要在实际的例子中进行测试才能更好的理解。对Object.wait()，Object.notify()的应用最经典的例子就是生产者-消费者模式，实现一个如下：

public class Test {
	static Apple apple = new Apple();
	public static void main(String[] args) {
//		for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
			new ProducerThread(apple).start();
			new CustomerThread(apple).start();
//		}
	}
}

class ProducerThread extends Thread {
	Apple apple;
	public ProducerThread(Apple apple) {
		this.apple = apple;
	}

	@Override
	public void run() {
		try {
			for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
				apple.addApple();
			}
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

class CustomerThread extends Thread {
	Apple apple;
	public CustomerThread(Apple apple) {
		this.apple = apple;
	}

	@Override
	public void run() {
		try {
			for (int i=0;i<10;i++) {
				apple.removeApple();
			}
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

class Apple {
	int count = 0;
	synchronized void addApple() throws InterruptedException {
		if (count > 0) {
			System.out.println("producer begin wait");
			wait();
			System.out.println("producer after wait");
		} else {
			System.out.println("producer add apple");
			count ++;
			notify();
			System.out.println("producer notify after add apple");
		}
	}

	synchronized void removeApple() throws InterruptedException {
		if (count <= 0) {
			System.out.println("customer begin wait");
			wait();
			System.out.println("customer after wait");
		} else {
			System.out.println("customer remove apple");
			count --;
			notify();
			System.out.println("customer notify after remove apple");
		}
	}
}

输出结果：

producer add apple

producer notify after add apple

producer begin wait

customer remove apple

customer notify after remove apple

customer begin wait
