ThreadLocal原理解析及面试

基本使用

讲原理之前，我简单写个demo小程序

public class TestThreadLocal {public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {ThreadLocal<String> tl  = new ThreadLocal();/**主线程设置了一个值*/tl.set("SSSSSs");//tl.set(new Integer(2));InheritableThreadLocal<String> itl = new InheritableThreadLocal<>();itl.set("itlValue");new Thread(new Runnable() {@Overridepublic void run() {/**子线程没有设置，所以肯定拿不到*/System.out.println("tl的值："+Thread.currentThread().getName()+tl.get());/**InheritableThreadLocal是可以传递到子线程的，所以这里可以拿到*/System.out.println("Itl的值："+ Thread.currentThread().getName() + itl.get());}}).start();new Thread(new Runnable() {@Overridepublic void run() {tl.set("ttttt");/**这个子线程设置了，是可以拿到*/System.out.println("tl的值："+Thread.currentThread().getName()+tl.get());/**InheritableThreadLocal是可以传递到子线程的，所以这里可以拿到*/System.out.println("Itl的值："+ Thread.currentThread().getName() + itl.get());/**这里我们改一下看看主线程里的会不会修改*/itl.set("itl's Value changed By thread2");System.out.println("Itl的值："+ Thread.currentThread().getName() + itl.get());}}).start();Thread.sleep(2000);System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+tl.get());/**这里我们可以看到子线程里修改InheritableThreadLocal的值是不会影响主线程的*/System.out.println("Itl的值："+ Thread.currentThread().getName() + itl.get());}
}

运行结果

tl的值：Thread-0null
Itl的值：Thread-0itlValue
tl的值：Thread-1ttttt
Itl的值：Thread-1itlValue
Itl的值：Thread-1itl's Value changed By thread2
mainSSSSSs
Itl的值：mainitlValue

我们可以看到只有某个线程设置了 ThreadLocal的值才能取到，不设置是没有的，这就实现了线程间的隔离。另外对于InheritableThreadLocal它会继承父线程的 InheritableThreadLocal 变量的值（实际上是值的引用副本），所以修改对于主线程和其他子线程是无效的，但是对自己有效，个人觉得这很变态，不管了，这不是重点。

Thread和ThreadLocal的关系

ThreadLocal 和 Thread 是 Java 中处理多线程编程时的两个重要概念，它们在处理线程本地变量时有着不同的角色和用途。

Thread

Thread 是 Java 中用于表示线程的对象。每个 Thread 对象代表一个独立的执行路径，可以在并发环境中同时运行。Java 的多线程编程模型允许你创建多个 Thread 对象，以并行或并发的方式执行多个任务。

Thread 类提供了许多方法来管理和控制线程的行为，比如：

start(): 启动线程。
run(): 线程的主体方法，包含线程要执行的任务代码。
sleep(long millis): 使当前线程休眠指定的毫秒数。
interrupt(): 中断线程。
join(): 等待另一个线程终止。
isAlive(): 检查线程是否还在运行。

ThreadLocal

ThreadLocal 是 Java 提供的一个工具类，用于创建线程局部变量。这些变量在每个线程中都有独立的初始值和副本，因此每个线程都可以独立地修改自己的变量副本，而不会影响到其他线程的副本。

ThreadLocal 提供了一种将变量与线程绑定的机制，这样每个线程都可以访问到属于自己的、独立的数据副本。这在多线程编程中特别有用，特别是在需要确保线程间数据隔离的场景中。

ThreadLocal 的主要方法包括：

get(): 获取当前线程所对应的值。
set(T value): 设置当前线程的值。
initialValue(): 提供线程局部变量的初始值，该方法是一个受保护的方法，通常需要在子类中重写。
remove(): 移除当前线程的值。

ThreadLocal变量是Thread私有的，一个Thread里设置的值其他的Thread看不到（即使是子线程也不能看到，如果想要子线程看到，可以使用InheritableThreadLocal，这个也曾经被面试过），本文主要讲解ThreadLocal，也会把InheritableThreadLocal顺便讲一下，但是不会当成重点，毕竟面试的时候也不是重点。

下面是Thread类的定义的一部分

public
class Thread implements Runnable {/* Make sure registerNatives is the first thing <clinit> does. */private static native void registerNatives();static {registerNatives();}private volatile String name;private int            priority;private Thread         threadQ;private long           eetop;/* Whether or not to single_step this thread. */private boolean     single_step;/* Whether or not the thread is a daemon thread. */private boolean     daemon = false;/* JVM state */private boolean     stillborn = false;/* What will be run. */private Runnable target;/* The group of this thread */private ThreadGroup group;/* The context ClassLoader for this thread */private ClassLoader contextClassLoader;/* The inherited AccessControlContext of this thread */private AccessControlContext inheritedAccessControlContext;/* For autonumbering anonymous threads. */private static int threadInitNumber;private static synchronized int nextThreadNum() {return threadInitNumber++;}/* ThreadLocal values pertaining to this thread. This map is maintained* by the ThreadLocal class. 注意看这个变量，这就是我们的ThreadLocal变量的存放位置，按照它的注释，这个Map是存放在ThreadLocal里的*/ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap threadLocals = null;/** InheritableThreadLocal values pertaining to this thread. This map is* maintained by the InheritableThreadLocal class.*/ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap inheritableThreadLocals = null;

咱们怎么去理解呢，我们可以理解为这是一个 ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap类型的变量，它是在Thread里存放的，类型是 ThreadLocal.ThreadLocalMap，这个大家想想就能理解，如果不存放在Thread里怎么能实现线程自己用自己的呢。

ThreadLocal类里关于ThreadLocalMap的定义（每个Thread里都有一个ThreadLocalMap），可以说ThreadLocal关键是ThreadLocalMap，它自己只是定义了对外的接口，其他的逻辑都在ThreadLocalMap里（map的key是ThreadLocal的引用，value是我们在当前线程中设置的值），ThreadLocalMap里重点需要关注Entry，它继承了WeakReference，其实我们设置的值就是设置到这个弱引用的对象的value里，而弱引用只要垃圾回收，就会被回收掉：

网上借了一张图用来解释这些对象的关系

图的组成

左侧流程图：
- 初始化ThreadLocal对象：首先，通过ThreadLocal的构造函数创建一个空的ThreadLocal对象。这个对象本身并不存储值，而是作为一个容器，用于在线程中存储和检索值。
- 设置值：接着，通过调用ThreadLocal对象的set方法，可以为当前线程设置一个值。这个值是与当前线程相关联的，对其他线程不可见。
右侧结构图：
- 线程局部变量结构：右侧展示了ThreadLocal内部如何存储线程局部变量的结构。每个线程都有一个与之关联的ThreadLocalMap，这个映射表存储了键（ThreadLocal对象）和值（线程局部变量）的对应关系。
- 键（key）：这里的键是ThreadLocal对象本身。
- 值（value）：与键相关联的值，即线程局部变量。
- 弱引用（weakReference）：ThreadLocalMap中的键（即ThreadLocal对象）是通过弱引用持有的。这意味着如果ThreadLocal对象没有其他强引用，它将被垃圾回收器回收，即使它仍然作为键存在于映射表中。
注释：
- 注释部分解释了为什么ThreadLocalMap中的键要使用弱引用而不是强引用。如果使用强引用，即使ThreadLocal对象本身（即键）被设置为null（或不再被引用），它仍然会作为键存在于映射表中，导致内存泄漏。因为强引用会阻止垃圾回收器回收不再使用的对象。而使用弱引用，当ThreadLocal对象没有其他强引用时，它可以被垃圾回收器回收，从而避免内存泄漏。

总结

这张图通过流程图和结构图相结合的方式，清晰地展示了ThreadLocal的工作原理以及为什么在其内部结构中使用了弱引用来避免内存泄漏。它强调了ThreadLocal在Java多线程编程中的重要性，以及如何使用它来管理线程内的共享数据，同时保持数据的线程隔离性。

为什么要这么设计以及内存泄漏问题

为什么Entry要使用弱引用：

如果是强引用，即使程序中把tl设置为null，但是当前情况是两个强引用指向ThreadLocal这块内存，把tl设置为null只是去掉了一个强引用，还剩下一个强引用，所以依然无法回收这块内存（除非线程结束），但是从程序看这块内存应该是被回收掉了，会有内存泄漏（想处理只有线程被销毁才行，但是线程可能都是7*24小时运行的，所以可能会内存泄漏越来越多导致OOM），而使用弱引用，当tl变为null之后，指向ThreadLocal这块内存的只有key一个弱引用，一旦发生垃圾收集，就会被回收（弱引用的特性，只要垃圾回收期回收，弱引用就会被干掉），也就不存在内存泄漏。

这里需要注意的是，ThreadLocal被回收之后，key的值由原来的ThreadLocal变成了null，我们无法通过null值访问value指向的10M的空间，但是引用会一直存在，也是另外一种内存泄漏。所以我们每次使用完ThreadLocal之后一定要remove。（虽然执行get或者set的时候，会把entry里所有key为null的都清理掉，但是如果长时间没有get和set执行，这块泄漏就一直存在）

如果用的是线程池，用完线程之后要清理ThreadLocals，否则逻辑中如果有可以拿到threadlocal里的值就用原来的，可能会出现问题
