13     * A counting semaphore. Conceptually, a semaphore maintains a set of
14     * permits. Each {@link #acquire} blocks if necessary until a permit is
15     * available, and then takes it. Each {@link #release} adds a permit,
16     * potentially releasing a blocking acquirer.
17     * However, no actual permit objects are used; the {@code Semaphore} just
18     * keeps a count of the number available and acts accordingly.
19     *
20     * <p>Semaphores are often used to restrict the number of threads than can
21     * access some (physical or logical) resource. For example, here is
22     * a class that uses a semaphore to control access to a pool of items:
23     * <pre> {@code
24     * class Pool {
25     * private static final int MAX_AVAILABLE = 100;
26     * private final Semaphore available = new Semaphore(MAX_AVAILABLE, true);
27     *
28     * public Object getItem() throws InterruptedException {
29     * available.acquire();
30     * return getNextAvailableItem();
31     * }
32     *
33     * public void putItem(Object x) {
34     * if (markAsUnused(x))
35     * available.release();
36     * }
37     *
38     * // Not a particularly efficient data structure; just for demo
39     *
40     * protected Object[] items = ... whatever kinds of items being managed
41     * protected boolean[] used = new boolean[MAX_AVAILABLE];
42     *
43     * protected synchronized Object getNextAvailableItem() {
44     * for (int i = 0; i < MAX_AVAILABLE; ++i) {
45     * if (!used[i]) {
46     * used[i] = true;
47     * return items[i];
48     * }
49     * }
50     * return null; // not reached
51     * }
52     *
53     * protected synchronized boolean markAsUnused(Object item) {
54     * for (int i = 0; i < MAX_AVAILABLE; ++i) {
55     * if (item == items[i]) {
56     * if (used[i]) {
57     * used[i] = false;
58     * return true;
59     * } else
60     * return false;
61     * }
62     * }
63     * return false;
64     * }
65     * }}</pre>
66     *
67     * <p>Before obtaining an item each thread must acquire a permit from
68     * the semaphore, guaranteeing that an item is available for use. When
69     * the thread has finished with the item it is returned back to the
70     * pool and a permit is returned to the semaphore, allowing another
71     * thread to acquire that item. Note that no synchronization lock is
72     * held when {@link #acquire} is called as that would prevent an item
73     * from being returned to the pool. The semaphore encapsulates the
74     * synchronization needed to restrict access to the pool, separately
75     * from any synchronization needed to maintain the consistency of the
76     * pool itself.
77     *
78     * <p>A semaphore initialized to one, and which is used such that it
79     * only has at most one permit available, can serve as a mutual
80     * exclusion lock. This is more commonly known as a <em>binary
81     * semaphore</em>, because it only has two states: one permit
82     * available, or zero permits available. When used in this way, the
83     * binary semaphore has the property (unlike many {@link java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock}
84     * implementations), that the &quot;lock&quot; can be released by a
85     * thread other than the owner (as semaphores have no notion of
86     * ownership). This can be useful in some specialized contexts, such
87     * as deadlock recovery.
88     *
89     * <p>The constructor for this class optionally accepts a
90     * <em>fairness</em> parameter. When set false, this class makes no
91     * guarantees about the order in which threads acquire permits. In
92     * particular, <em>barging</em> is permitted, that is, a thread
93     * invoking {@link #acquire} can be allocated a permit ahead of a
94     * thread that has been waiting - logically the new thread places itself at
95     * the head of the queue of waiting threads. When fairness is set true, the
96     * semaphore guarantees that threads invoking any of the {@link
97     * #acquire() acquire} methods are selected to obtain permits in the order in
98     * which their invocation of those methods was processed
99     * (first-in-first-out; FIFO). Note that FIFO ordering necessarily
100     * applies to specific internal points of execution within these
101     * methods. So, it is possible for one thread to invoke
102     * {@code acquire} before another, but reach the ordering point after
103     * the other, and similarly upon return from the method.
104     * Also note that the untimed {@link #tryAcquire() tryAcquire} methods do not
105     * honor the fairness setting, but will take any permits that are
106     * available.
107     *
108     * <p>Generally, semaphores used to control resource access should be
109     * initialized as fair, to ensure that no thread is starved out from
110     * accessing a resource. When using semaphores for other kinds of
111     * synchronization control, the throughput advantages of non-fair
112     * ordering often outweigh fairness considerations.
113     *
114     * <p>This class also provides convenience methods to {@link
115     * #acquire(int) acquire} and {@link #release(int) release} multiple
116     * permits at a time. These methods are generally more efficient and
117     * effective than loops. However, they do not establish any preference
118     * order. For example, if thread A invokes {@code s.acquire(3}) and
119     * thread B invokes {@code s.acquire(2)}, and two permits become
120     * available, then there is no guarantee that thread B will obtain
121     * them unless its acquire came first and Semaphore {@code s} is in
122     * fair mode.
123     *
124     * <p>Memory consistency effects: Actions in a thread prior to calling
125     * a "release" method such as {@code release()}
126     * <a href="package-summary.html#MemoryVisibility"><i>happen-before</i></a>
127     * actions following a successful "acquire" method such as {@code acquire()}
128     * in another thread.
