      • lock

        @Suspendable
        public void lock()
        Acquires the read lock.

        Acquires the read lock if the write lock is not held by another strand and returns immediately.

        If the write lock is held by another strand then the current strand becomes disabled for strand scheduling purposes and lies dormant until the read lock has been acquired.

        Specified by:
        lock in interface java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock
      • lockInterruptibly

        @Suspendable
        public void lockInterruptibly()
                               throws java.lang.InterruptedException
        Acquires the read lock unless the current strand is interrupted.

        Acquires the read lock if the write lock is not held by another strand and returns immediately.

        If the write lock is held by another strand then the current strand becomes disabled for strand scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of two things happens:

        • The read lock is acquired by the current strand; or
        • Some other strand interrupts the current strand.

        If the current strand:

        • has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
        • is interrupted while acquiring the read lock,
        then InterruptedException is thrown and the current strand's interrupted status is cleared.

        In this implementation, as this method is an explicit interruption point, preference is given to responding to the interrupt over normal or reentrant acquisition of the lock.

        Specified by:
        lockInterruptibly in interface java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock
        Throws:
        java.lang.InterruptedException - if the current strand is interrupted
      • tryLock

        public boolean tryLock()
        Acquires the read lock only if the write lock is not held by another strand at the time of invocation.

        Acquires the read lock if the write lock is not held by another strand and returns immediately with the value true. Even when this lock has been set to use a fair ordering policy, a call to tryLock() will immediately acquire the read lock if it is available, whether or not other strands are currently waiting for the read lock. This "barging" behavior can be useful in certain circumstances, even though it breaks fairness. If you want to honor the fairness setting for this lock, then use tryLock(0, TimeUnit.SECONDS) which is almost equivalent (it also detects interruption).

        If the write lock is held by another strand then this method will return immediately with the value false.

        Specified by:
        tryLock in interface java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock
        Returns:
        true if the read lock was acquired
      • tryLock

        @Suspendable
        public boolean tryLock​(long timeout,
                               java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit unit)
                        throws java.lang.InterruptedException
        Acquires the read lock if the write lock is not held by another strand within the given waiting time and the current strand has not been interrupted.

        Acquires the read lock if the write lock is not held by another strand and returns immediately with the value true. If this lock has been set to use a fair ordering policy then an available lock will not be acquired if any other strands are waiting for the lock. This is in contrast to the tryLock() method. If you want a timed tryLock that does permit barging on a fair lock then combine the timed and un-timed forms together:

        if (lock.tryLock() || lock.tryLock(timeout, unit) ) { ... }
         

        If the write lock is held by another strand then the current strand becomes disabled for strand scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of three things happens:

        • The read lock is acquired by the current strand; or
        • Some other strand interrupts the current strand; or
        • The specified waiting time elapses.

        If the read lock is acquired then the value true is returned.

        If the current strand:

        • has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
        • is interrupted while acquiring the read lock,
        then InterruptedException is thrown and the current strand's interrupted status is cleared.

        If the specified waiting time elapses then the value false is returned. If the time is less than or equal to zero, the method will not wait at all.

        In this implementation, as this method is an explicit interruption point, preference is given to responding to the interrupt over normal or reentrant acquisition of the lock, and over reporting the elapse of the waiting time.

        Specified by:
        tryLock in interface java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock
        Parameters:
        timeout - the time to wait for the read lock
        unit - the time unit of the timeout argument
        Returns:
        true if the read lock was acquired
        Throws:
        java.lang.InterruptedException - if the current strand is interrupted
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the time unit is null
      • unlock

        public void unlock()
        Attempts to release this lock.

        If the number of readers is now zero then the lock is made available for write lock attempts.

        Specified by:
        unlock in interface java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock
      • newCondition

        public java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition newCondition()
        Throws UnsupportedOperationException because ReadLocks do not support conditions.
        Specified by:
        newCondition in interface java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock
        Throws:
        java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - always
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Returns a string identifying this lock, as well as its lock state. The state, in brackets, includes the String "Read locks =" followed by the number of held read locks.
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a string identifying this lock, as well as its lock state
