Semaphore

  1. 建立一个包含n个许可的信号量(内部的计数为n),当一个线程从信号量中请求一个许可(调用acquire()),如果信号量中有许可的话(n大于0),那么线程成功获取许可,信号量内部许可数量减1(n减1);如果信号量中没有许可(n等于0),那么当前线程阻塞。
  2. 当一个线程归还许可(调用release(),内部计数加1),其他在acquire()方法处等待的线程便有可能被唤醒来竞争许可。
  3. 公平模式下,如果有线程在acquire()处等待,新来的请求线程会排在这些等待线程后面;非公平模式下,新来的请求线程可能会插队,比在acquire()处等待的线程提前申请到许可。
