JAVA中引用的分类
- 强引用
- 软引用 表示一个有用但是非必须的对象。
- 弱引用 表示希望在下一次垃圾回收时回收的对象
- 虚引用 主要用于监控对象何时被回收
实现
Reference
Reference是软引用,弱引用和虚引用的基类。
该类在初始化时,会启动一个内部线程
Thread handler = new ReferenceHandler(tg, "Reference Handler");
/* If there were a special system-only priority greater than
* MAX_PRIORITY, it would be used here
*/
handler.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
handler.setDaemon(true);
handler.start();
该线程一直试图重复下面逻辑
transient private Reference<T> discovered;
static boolean tryHandlePending(boolean waitForNotify) {
Reference<Object> r;
Cleaner c;
try {
synchronized (lock) {
if (pending != null) {
r = pending;
// 'instanceof' might throw OutOfMemoryError sometimes
// so do this before un-linking 'r' from the 'pending' chain...
c = r instanceof Cleaner ? (Cleaner) r : null;
// unlink 'r' from 'pending' chain
pending = r.discovered;
r.discovered = null;
} else {
// The waiting on the lock may cause an OutOfMemoryError
// because it may try to allocate exception objects.
if (waitForNotify) {
lock.wait();
}
// retry if waited
return waitForNotify;
}
}
} catch (OutOfMemoryError x) {
// Give other threads CPU time so they hopefully drop some live references
// and GC reclaims some space.
// Also prevent CPU intensive spinning in case 'r instanceof Cleaner' above
// persistently throws OOME for some time...
Thread.yield();
// retry
return true;
} catch (InterruptedException x) {
// retry
return true;
}
// Fast path for cleaners
if (c != null) {
c.clean();
return true;
}
ReferenceQueue<? super Object> q = r.queue;
if (q != ReferenceQueue.NULL) q.enqueue(r);
return true;
}
SoftReference
内部维持了一个clock(由垃圾处理器负责更新)和一个timestamp(由get方法负责更新)。如果clock大于很多timestamp,则表示推荐回收。
public class SoftReference<T> extends Reference<T> {
/**
* Timestamp clock, updated by the garbage collector
*/
static private long clock;
/**
* Timestamp updated by each invocation of the get method. The VM may use
* this field when selecting soft references to be cleared, but it is not
* required to do so.
*/
private long timestamp;
/**
* Creates a new soft reference that refers to the given object. The new
* reference is not registered with any queue.
*
* @param referent object the new soft reference will refer to
*/
public SoftReference(T referent) {
super(referent);
this.timestamp = clock;
}
/**
* Creates a new soft reference that refers to the given object and is
* registered with the given queue.
*
* @param referent object the new soft reference will refer to
* @param q the queue with which the reference is to be registered,
* or <tt>null</tt> if registration is not required
*
*/
public SoftReference(T referent, ReferenceQueue<? super T> q) {
super(referent, q);
this.timestamp = clock;
}
/**
* Returns this reference object's referent. If this reference object has
* been cleared, either by the program or by the garbage collector, then
* this method returns <code>null</code>.
*
* @return The object to which this reference refers, or
* <code>null</code> if this reference object has been cleared
*/
public T get() {
T o = super.get();
if (o != null && this.timestamp != clock)
this.timestamp = clock;
return o;
}
}
WeakReference
public class WeakReference<T> extends Reference<T> {
/**
* Creates a new weak reference that refers to the given object. The new
* reference is not registered with any queue.
*
* @param referent object the new weak reference will refer to
*/
public WeakReference(T referent) {
super(referent);
}
/**
* Creates a new weak reference that refers to the given object and is
* registered with the given queue.
*
* @param referent object the new weak reference will refer to
* @param q the queue with which the reference is to be registered,
* or <tt>null</tt> if registration is not required
*/
public WeakReference(T referent, ReferenceQueue<? super T> q) {
super(referent, q);
}
}
PhantomReference
PhantomReference的get方法永远返回null。
public class PhantomReference<T> extends Reference<T> {
/**
* Returns this reference object's referent. Because the referent of a
* phantom reference is always inaccessible, this method always returns
* <code>null</code>.
*
* @return <code>null</code>
*/
public T get() {
return null;
}
/**
* Creates a new phantom reference that refers to the given object and
* is registered with the given queue.
*
* <p> It is possible to create a phantom reference with a <tt>null</tt>
* queue, but such a reference is completely useless: Its <tt>get</tt>
* method will always return null and, since it does not have a queue, it
* will never be enqueued.
*
* @param referent the object the new phantom reference will refer to
* @param q the queue with which the reference is to be registered,
* or <tt>null</tt> if registration is not required
*/
public PhantomReference(T referent, ReferenceQueue<? super T> q) {
super(referent, q);
}
}
ReferenceQueue
标准用法如下
ReferenceQueue queue = new ReferenceQueue();
WeakReference reference = new WeakReference(new Object(), queue);
System.out.println(reference);
System.gc();
Reference reference1 = queue.remove();
System.out.println(reference1);
