结论先写出来:
线程局部变量是局限于线程内部的变量,属于线程自身所有,不在多个线程间共享。Java 提供 ThreadLocal 类来支持线程局部变量,是一种实现线程安全的方式。但是在管理环境下(如 web 服务器)使用线程局部变量的时候要特别小心,在这种情况下,工作线程的生命周期比任何应用变量的生命周期都要长。任何线程局部变量一旦在工作完成后没有释放,Java 应用就存在内存泄露的风险。
每个线程独自拥有一个变量,单个线程内共享,多个线程不共享。
ThreadLocal适用多线程间资源共享,但不共享变化。
Thread类中有个 ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap threadLocals = null; 属性变量
ThreadLocal中有ThreadLocalMap静态内部类。
ThreadLocal的set(T value);
public void set(T value) {
Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
ThreadLocalMap map = getMap(t);
if (map != null)
map.set(this, value);
else
createMap(t, value);
}
解析:
先获取当前线程,然后根据当前线程去查询Thread线程类中ThreadLocalMap属性变量map。若此map不为空,则存已当前对象(this)即已实例化的ThreadLocal对象为键,T类型的value的值。若此map为空(证明此线程还没初始化ThreadLocalMap threadLocals ),则创建一个ThreadLocalMap,也就是把当前线程的threadLocals属性赋值。
首先看下getMap(t) 方法:
/**
* Get the map associated with a ThreadLocal. Overridden in
* InheritableThreadLocal.
*
* @param t the current thread
* @return the map
*/
ThreadLocalMap getMap(Thread t) {
return t.threadLocals;
}
根据注释可知,获得一个与当前线程t绑定的ThreadLocalMap实例对象,即此线程t的属性threadLocals的值(类型是ThreadLocalMap)。
再看下createMap(t, value)方法:
/**
* 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);
}
根据当前线程t,创建一个 ThreadLocalMap实例对象,即线程t的一个属性threadLocals,而以当前ThreadLocal对象为键,以value为值新建个ThreadLocalMap对象,并付给threadLocals。
/**
* 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);
}
创建的ThreadLocalMap 中的第一个参数 即为上一个代码的this,也就是此ThreadLocal实例化对象。
上文就是基本的set方法全部。
下面看下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();
}
其他代码都应该看得懂,主要看下setInitialValue();
作用就是首次返回null,同时给Thread的threadLocals属性赋予ThreadLocalMap 的值。
/**
* 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;
}
/**
* Returns the current thread's "initial value" for this
* thread-local variable. This method will be invoked the first
* time a thread accesses the variable with the {@link #get}
* method, unless the thread previously invoked the {@link #set}

return null;
