E - the type of elements held in this collectionpublic class SynchronousQueue<E> extends AbstractQueue<E> implements BlockingQueue<E>, Serializable
peek at a synchronous queue because an element is only
present when you try to remove it; you cannot insert an element
(using any method) unless another thread is trying to remove it;
you cannot iterate as there is nothing to iterate. The
head of the queue is the element that the first queued
inserting thread is trying to add to the queue; if there is no such
queued thread then no element is available for removal and
poll() will return null. For purposes of other
Collection methods (for example contains), a
SynchronousQueue acts as an empty collection. This queue
does not permit null elements.
Synchronous queues are similar to rendezvous channels used in CSP and Ada. They are well suited for handoff designs, in which an object running in one thread must sync up with an object running in another thread in order to hand it some information, event, or task.
This class supports an optional fairness policy for ordering
waiting producer and consumer threads. By default, this ordering
is not guaranteed. However, a queue constructed with fairness set
to true grants threads access in FIFO order.
This class and its iterator implement all of the
optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.
| Constructor and Description |
|---|
SynchronousQueue()
Creates a
SynchronousQueue with nonfair access policy. |
SynchronousQueue(boolean fair)
Creates a
SynchronousQueue with the specified fairness policy. |
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
void |
clear()
Does nothing.
|
boolean |
contains(Object o)
Always returns
false. |
boolean |
containsAll(Collection<?> c)
Returns
false unless the given collection is empty. |
int |
drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)
Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them
to the given collection.
|
int |
drainTo(Collection<? super E> c,
int maxElements)
Removes at most the given number of available elements from
this queue and adds them to the given collection.
|
boolean |
isEmpty()
Always returns
true. |
Iterator<E> |
iterator()
Returns an empty iterator in which
hasNext always returns
false. |
boolean |
offer(E e)
Inserts the specified element into this queue, if another thread is
waiting to receive it.
|
boolean |
offer(E e,
long timeout,
TimeUnit unit)
Inserts the specified element into this queue, waiting if necessary
up to the specified wait time for another thread to receive it.
|
E |
peek()
Always returns
null. |
E |
poll()
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, if another thread
is currently making an element available.
|
E |
poll(long timeout,
TimeUnit unit)
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting
if necessary up to the specified wait time, for another thread
to insert it.
|
void |
put(E e)
Adds the specified element to this queue, waiting if necessary for
another thread to receive it.
|
int |
remainingCapacity()
Always returns zero.
|
boolean |
remove(Object o)
Always returns
false. |
boolean |
removeAll(Collection<?> c)
Always returns
false. |
boolean |
retainAll(Collection<?> c)
Always returns
false. |
int |
size()
Always returns zero.
|
Spliterator<E> |
spliterator()
Returns an empty spliterator in which calls to
Spliterator.trySplit() always return null. |
E |
take()
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary
for another thread to insert it.
|
Object[] |
toArray()
Returns a zero-length array.
|
<T> T[] |
toArray(T[] a)
Sets the zeroeth element of the specified array to
null
(if the array has non-zero length) and returns it. |
