简介

CountDownLatch底层也是由AQS，用来同步一个或多个任务的常用并发工具类，强制它们等待由其他任务执行的一组操作完成。

从源码可知，其底层是由AQS提供支持，所以其数据结构可以参考AQS的数据结构，而AQS的数据结构核心就是两个虚拟队列: 同步队列sync queue 和条件队列condition queue，不同的条件会有不同的条件队列。CountDownLatch典型的用法是将一个程序分为n个互相独立的可解决任务，并创建值为n的CountDownLatch。当每一个任务完成时，都会在这个锁存器上调用countDown，等待问题被解决的任务调用这个锁存器的await，将他们自己拦住，直至锁存器计数结束。

用法示例

import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;

class MyThread extends Thread {
    private CountDownLatch countDownLatch;
    
    public MyThread(String name, CountDownLatch countDownLatch) {
        super(name);
        this.countDownLatch = countDownLatch;
    }
    
    public void run() {
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " doing something");
        try {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " finish");
        countDownLatch.countDown();
    }
}

public class CountDownLatchDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        CountDownLatch countDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(2);
        MyThread t1 = new MyThread("t1", countDownLatch);
        MyThread t2 = new MyThread("t2", countDownLatch);
        t1.start();
        t2.start();
        System.out.println("Waiting for t1 thread and t2 thread to finish");
        try {
            countDownLatch.await();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }            
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " continue");        
    }
}
