40 /**
41  * A synchronization aid that allows one or more threads to wait until
42  * a set of operations being performed in other threads completes.
43  *
44  * <p>A {@code CountDownLatch} is initialized with a given <em>count</em>.
45  * The {@link #await await} methods block until the current count reaches
46  * zero due to invocations of the {@link #countDown} method, after which
47  * all waiting threads are released and any subsequent invocations of
48  * {@link #await await} return immediately.  This is a one-shot phenomenon
49  * -- the count cannot be reset.  If you need a version that resets the
50  * count, consider using a {@link CyclicBarrier}.
51  *
52  * <p>A {@code CountDownLatch} is a versatile synchronization tool
53  * and can be used for a number of purposes.  A
54  * {@code CountDownLatch} initialized with a count of one serves as a
55  * simple on/off latch, or gate: all threads invoking {@link #await await}
56  * wait at the gate until it is opened by a thread invoking {@link
57  * #countDown}.  A {@code CountDownLatch} initialized to <em>N</em>
58  * can be used to make one thread wait until <em>N</em> threads have
59  * completed some action, or some action has been completed N times.
60  *
61  * <p>A useful property of a {@code CountDownLatch} is that it
62  * doesn't require that threads calling {@code countDown} wait for
63  * the count to reach zero before proceeding, it simply prevents any
64  * thread from proceeding past an {@link #await await} until all
65  * threads could pass.
66  *
67  * <p><b>Sample usage:</b> Here is a pair of classes in which a group
68  * of worker threads use two countdown latches:
69  * <ul>
70  * <li>The first is a start signal that prevents any worker from proceeding
71  * until the driver is ready for them to proceed;
72  * <li>The second is a completion signal that allows the driver to wait
73  * until all workers have completed.
74  * </ul>
75  *
76  * <pre> {@code
77  * class Driver { // ...
78  *   void main() throws InterruptedException {
79  *     CountDownLatch startSignal = new CountDownLatch(1);
80  *     CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);
81  *
82  *     for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // create and start threads
83  *       new Thread(new Worker(startSignal, doneSignal)).start();
84  *
85  *     doSomethingElse();            // don't let run yet
86  *     startSignal.countDown();      // let all threads proceed
87  *     doSomethingElse();
88  *     doneSignal.await();           // wait for all to finish
89  *   }
90  * }
91  *
92  * class Worker implements Runnable {
93  *   private final CountDownLatch startSignal;
94  *   private final CountDownLatch doneSignal;
95  *   Worker(CountDownLatch startSignal, CountDownLatch doneSignal) {
96  *     this.startSignal = startSignal;
97  *     this.doneSignal = doneSignal;
98  *   }
99  *   public void run() {
100  *     try {
101  *       startSignal.await();
102  *       doWork();
103  *       doneSignal.countDown();
104  *     } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} // return;
105  *   }
106  *
107  *   void doWork() { ... }
108  * }}</pre>
109  *
110  * <p>Another typical usage would be to divide a problem into N parts,
111  * describe each part with a Runnable that executes that portion and
112  * counts down on the latch, and queue all the Runnables to an
113  * Executor.  When all sub-parts are complete, the coordinating thread
114  * will be able to pass through await. (When threads must repeatedly
115  * count down in this way, instead use a {@link CyclicBarrier}.)
116  *
117  * <pre> {@code
118  * class Driver2 { // ...
119  *   void main() throws InterruptedException {
120  *     CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);
121  *     Executor e = ...;
122  *
123  *     for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // create and start threads
124  *       e.execute(new WorkerRunnable(doneSignal, i));
125  *
126  *     doneSignal.await();           // wait for all to finish
127  *   }
128  * }
129  *
130  * class WorkerRunnable implements Runnable {
131  *   private final CountDownLatch doneSignal;
132  *   private final int i;
133  *   WorkerRunnable(CountDownLatch doneSignal, int i) {
134  *     this.doneSignal = doneSignal;
135  *     this.i = i;
136  *   }
137  *   public void run() {
138  *     doWork();
139  *     doneSignal.countDown();
140  *   }
141  *
142  *   void doWork() { ... }
143  * }}</pre>
144  *
145  * <p>Memory consistency effects: Until the count reaches
146  * zero, actions in a thread prior to calling
147  * {@code countDown()}
148  * <a href="package-summary.html#MemoryVisibility"><i>happen-before</i></a>
149  * actions following a successful return from a corresponding
150  * {@code await()} in another thread.
