12     * A synchronization aid that allows one or more threads to wait until
13     * a set of operations being performed in other threads completes.
14     *
15     * <p>A {@code CountDownLatch} is initialized with a given <em>count</em>.
16     * The {@link #await await} methods block until the current count reaches
17     * zero due to invocations of the {@link #countDown} method, after which
18     * all waiting threads are released and any subsequent invocations of
19     * {@link #await await} return immediately. This is a one-shot phenomenon
20     * -- the count cannot be reset. If you need a version that resets the
21     * count, consider using a {@link CyclicBarrier}.
22     *
23     * <p>A {@code CountDownLatch} is a versatile synchronization tool
24     * and can be used for a number of purposes. A
25     * {@code CountDownLatch} initialized with a count of one serves as a
26     * simple on/off latch, or gate: all threads invoking {@link #await await}
27     * wait at the gate until it is opened by a thread invoking {@link
28     * #countDown}. A {@code CountDownLatch} initialized to <em>N</em>
29     * can be used to make one thread wait until <em>N</em> threads have
30     * completed some action, or some action has been completed N times.
31     *
32     * <p>A useful property of a {@code CountDownLatch} is that it
33     * doesn't require that threads calling {@code countDown} wait for
34     * the count to reach zero before proceeding, it simply prevents any
35     * thread from proceeding past an {@link #await await} until all
36     * threads could pass.
37     *
38     * <p><b>Sample usage:</b> Here is a pair of classes in which a group
39     * of worker threads use two countdown latches:
40     * <ul>
41     * <li>The first is a start signal that prevents any worker from proceeding
42     * until the driver is ready for them to proceed;
43     * <li>The second is a completion signal that allows the driver to wait
44     * until all workers have completed.
45     * </ul>
46     *
47     * <pre> {@code
48     * class Driver { // ...
49     * void main() throws InterruptedException {
50     * CountDownLatch startSignal = new CountDownLatch(1);
51     * CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);
52     *
53     * for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // create and start threads
54     * new Thread(new Worker(startSignal, doneSignal)).start();
55     *
56     * doSomethingElse(); // don't let run yet
57     * startSignal.countDown(); // let all threads proceed
58     * doSomethingElse();
59     * doneSignal.await(); // wait for all to finish
60     * }
61     * }
62     *
63     * class Worker implements Runnable {
64     * private final CountDownLatch startSignal;
65     * private final CountDownLatch doneSignal;
66     * Worker(CountDownLatch startSignal, CountDownLatch doneSignal) {
67     * this.startSignal = startSignal;
68     * this.doneSignal = doneSignal;
69     * }
70     * public void run() {
71     * try {
72     * startSignal.await();
73     * doWork();
74     * doneSignal.countDown();
75     * } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} // return;
76     * }
77     *
78     * void doWork() { ... }
79     * }}</pre>
80     *
81     * <p>Another typical usage would be to divide a problem into N parts,
82     * describe each part with a Runnable that executes that portion and
83     * counts down on the latch, and queue all the Runnables to an
84     * Executor. When all sub-parts are complete, the coordinating thread
85     * will be able to pass through await. (When threads must repeatedly
86     * count down in this way, instead use a {@link CyclicBarrier}.)
87     *
88     * <pre> {@code
89     * class Driver2 { // ...
90     * void main() throws InterruptedException {
91     * CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);
92     * Executor e = ...
93     *
94     * for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // create and start threads
95     * e.execute(new WorkerRunnable(doneSignal, i));
96     *
97     * doneSignal.await(); // wait for all to finish
98     * }
99     * }
100     *
101     * class WorkerRunnable implements Runnable {
102     * private final CountDownLatch doneSignal;
103     * private final int i;
104     * WorkerRunnable(CountDownLatch doneSignal, int i) {
105     * this.doneSignal = doneSignal;
106     * this.i = i;
107     * }
108     * public void run() {
109     * try {
110     * doWork(i);
111     * doneSignal.countDown();
112     * } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} // return;
113     * }
114     *
115     * void doWork() { ... }
116     * }}</pre>
117     *
118     * <p>Memory consistency effects: Until the count reaches
119     * zero, actions in a thread prior to calling
120     * {@code countDown()}
121     * <a href="package-summary.html#MemoryVisibility"><i>happen-before</i></a>
122     * actions following a successful return from a corresponding
123     * {@code await()} in another thread.
