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