This class associates, with each thread that uses it, a permit * (in the sense of the {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore * Semaphore} class). A call to {@code park} will return immediately * if the permit is available, consuming it in the process; otherwise * it may block. A call to {@code unpark} makes the permit * available, if it was not already available. (Unlike with Semaphores * though, permits do not accumulate. There is at most one.) * *

Methods {@code park} and {@code unpark} provide efficient * means of blocking and unblocking threads that do not encounter the * problems that cause the deprecated methods {@code Thread.suspend} * and {@code Thread.resume} to be unusable for such purposes: Races * between one thread invoking {@code park} and another thread trying * to {@code unpark} it will preserve liveness, due to the * permit. Additionally, {@code park} will return if the caller's * thread was interrupted, and timeout versions are supported. The * {@code park} method may also return at any other time, for "no * reason", so in general must be invoked within a loop that rechecks * conditions upon return. In this sense {@code park} serves as an * optimization of a "busy wait" that does not waste as much time * spinning, but must be paired with an {@code unpark} to be * effective. * *

The three forms of {@code park} each also support a * {@code blocker} object parameter. This object is recorded while * the thread is blocked to permit monitoring and diagnostic tools to * identify the reasons that threads are blocked. (Such tools may * access blockers using method {@link #getBlocker}.) The use of these * forms rather than the original forms without this parameter is * strongly encouraged. The normal argument to supply as a * {@code blocker} within a lock implementation is {@code this}. * *

These methods are designed to be used as tools for creating * higher-level synchronization utilities, and are not in themselves * useful for most concurrency control applications. The {@code park} * method is designed for use only in constructions of the form: *

while (!canProceed()) { ... LockSupport.park(this); }
* where neither {@code canProceed} nor any other actions prior to the * call to {@code park} entail locking or blocking. Because only one * permit is associated with each thread, any intermediary uses of * {@code park} could interfere with its intended effects. * *

Sample Usage. Here is a sketch of a first-in-first-out * non-reentrant lock class: *

{@code
 * class FIFOMutex {
 *   private final AtomicBoolean locked = new AtomicBoolean(false);
 *   private final Queue waiters
 *     = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue();
 *
 *   public void lock() {
 *     boolean wasInterrupted = false;
 *     Thread current = Thread.currentThread();
 *     waiters.add(current);
 *
 *     // Block while not first in queue or cannot acquire lock
 *     while (waiters.peek() != current ||
 *            !locked.compareAndSet(false, true)) {
 *        LockSupport.park(this);
 *        if (Thread.interrupted()) // ignore interrupts while waiting
 *          wasInterrupted = true;
 *     }
 *
 *     waiters.remove();
 *     if (wasInterrupted)          // reassert interrupt status on exit
 *        current.interrupt();
 *   }
 *
 *   public void unlock() {
 *     locked.set(false);
 *     LockSupport.unpark(waiters.peek());
 *   }
 * }}
