简介： JDK源码（21）-Unsafe

 接下来再看一个JDK中比较特殊的类Unsafe。

一、概述

Java和C++语言的一个重要区别就是Java中我们无法直接操作一块内存区域，不能像C++中那样可以自己申请内存和释放内存。Java中的Unsafe类为我们提供了类似C++手动管理内存的能力。

Unsafe类，全限定名是sun.misc.Unsafe，从名字中我们可以看出来这个类对普通程序员来说是“危险”的，一般应用开发者不会用到这个类。它不属于Java标准。但是很多Java的基础类库，包括一些被广泛使用的高性能开发库都是基于Unsafe类开发的，比如Netty、Cassandra、Hadoop、Kafka等。Unsafe类在提升Java运行效率，增强Java语言底层操作能力方面起了很大的作用。

Unsafe类使Java拥有了像指针一样操作内存的能力，但同时也带来了指针问题。过度的使用Unsafe类会使得出错的几率变大，因此Java官方并不建议使用的，官方文档也几乎没有。Oracle正在计划从Java中去掉Unsafe类，如果真是如此影响就太大了。

二、类介绍

Unsafe类是"final"的，不允许继承。且构造函数是private的。

public final class Unsafe {
    private static native void registerNatives();
    static {
        registerNatives();
        sun.reflect.Reflection.registerMethodsToFilter(Unsafe.class, "getUnsafe");
    }
    private Unsafe() {}
    private static final Unsafe theUnsafe = new Unsafe();
    ....
}

Unsafe可以通过静态方法getUnsafe()来进行实例化，源码如下：

@CallerSensitive
    public static Unsafe getUnsafe() {
        Class<?> caller = Reflection.getCallerClass();
        if (!VM.isSystemDomainLoader(caller.getClassLoader()))
            throw new SecurityException("Unsafe");
        return theUnsafe;
    }

image.gif

Unsafe类做了限制，如果是普通的调用的话，它会抛出一个SecurityException异常；只有由主类加载器(BootStrap classLoader)加载的类才能调用这个类中的方法。最简单的使用方式是基于反射获取Unsafe实例。示例如下：

publice static Unsafe getUnsafe(){
    try {
        Field field = Unsafe.class.getDeclaredField("theUnsafe");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        Unsafe unsafe = (Unsafe) field.get(null);
        return unsafe;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

三、常见方法介绍

1.直接内存操作。

该部分包括了allocateMemory（分配内存）、reallocateMemory（重新分配内存）、copyMemory（拷贝内存）、freeMemory（释放内存 ）、getAddress（获取内存地址）、addressSize、pageSize、getInt（获取内存地址指向的整数）、getIntVolatile（获取内存地址指向的整数，并支持volatile语义）、putInt（将整数写入指定内存地址）、putIntVolatile（将整数写入指定内存地址，并支持volatile语义）、putOrderedInt（将整数写入指定内存地址、有序或者有延迟的方法）等方法。getXXX和putXXX包含了各种基本类型的操作。

利用copyMemory方法，我们可以实现一个通用的对象拷贝方法，无需再对每一个对象都实现clone方法，当然这通用的方法只能做到对象浅拷贝。

2.非常规的对象实例化。

allocateInstance()方法提供了另一种创建实例的途径。通常我们可以用new或者反射来实例化对象，使用allocateInstance()方法可以直接生成对象实例，且无需调用构造方法和其它初始化方法。

这在对象反序列化的时候会很有用，能够重建和设置final字段，而不需要调用构造方法。

3.操作类、对象、变量。

这部分包括了staticFieldOffset（静态域偏移）、defineClass（定义类）、defineAnonymousClass（定义匿名类）、ensureClassInitialized（确保类初始化）、objectFieldOffset（对象域偏移）等方法。

通过这些方法我们可以获取对象的指针，通过对指针进行偏移，我们不仅可以直接修改指针指向的数据（即使它们是私有的），甚至可以找到JVM已经认定为垃圾、可以进行回收的对象。

4.数组操作。

这部分包括了arrayBaseOffset（获取数组第一个元素的偏移地址）、arrayIndexScale（获取数组中元素的增量地址）等方法。arrayBaseOffset与arrayIndexScale配合起来使用，就可以定位数组中每个元素在内存中的位置。

由于Java的数组最大值为Integer.MAX_VALUE，使用Unsafe类的内存分配方法可以实现超大数组。实际上这样的数据就可以认为是C数组，因此需要注意在合适的时间释放内存。

5.多线程同步。包括锁机制、CAS操作等。

这部分包括了monitorEnter、tryMonitorEnter、monitorExit、compareAndSwapInt、compareAndSwap等方法。

其中monitorEnter、tryMonitorEnter、monitorExit已经被标记为deprecated，不建议使用。

Unsafe类的CAS操作可能是用的最多的，它为Java的锁机制提供了一种新的解决办法，比如AtomicInteger等类都是通过该方法来实现的。compareAndSwap方法是原子的，可以避免繁重的锁机制，提高代码效率。这是一种乐观锁，通常认为在大部分情况下不出现竞态条件，如果操作失败，会不断重试直到成功。

6.线程相关。

这部分包括了park、unpark等方法。

将一个线程进行挂起是通过park方法实现的，调用 park后，线程将一直阻塞直到超时或者中断等条件出现。unpark可以终止一个挂起的线程，使其恢复正常。整个并发框架中对线程的挂起操作被封装在 LockSupport类中，LockSupport类中有各种版本pack方法，但最终都调用了Unsafe.park()方法。

7.内存屏障。

这部分包括了loadFence、storeFence、fullFence等方法。这是在Java 8新引入的，用于定义内存屏障，避免代码重排序。

loadFence() 表示该方法之前的所有load操作在内存屏障之前完成。同理storeFence()表示该方法之前的所有store操作在内存屏障之前完成。fullFence()表示该方法之前的所有load、store操作在内存屏障之前完成。

四、Unsafe的使用方法

1.使用Unsafe实例化一个类

假如我们有一个简单的类如下：

class User {
    int age;
    public User() {
        this.age = 10;
    }
}

image.gif

如果我们通过构造方法实例化这个类，age属性将会返回10。

User user1 = new User();
// 打印10
System.out.println(user1.age);

image.gif

如果我们调用Unsafe来实例化呢？

User user2 = (User) unsafe.allocateInstance(User.class);
// 打印0
System.out.println(user2.age);

image.gif

age将返回0，因为Unsafe.allocateInstance()只会给对象分配内存，并不会调用构造方法，所以这里只会返回int类型的默认值0。

2.修改私有字段的值

public class UnsafeTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws NoSuchFieldException, IllegalAccessException, InstantiationException {
        Field f = Unsafe.class.getDeclaredField("theUnsafe");
        f.setAccessible(true);
        Unsafe unsafe = (Unsafe) f.get(null);
        User user = new User();
        Field age = user.getClass().getDeclaredField("age");
        unsafe.putInt(user, unsafe.objectFieldOffset(age), 20);
        // 打印20
        System.out.println(user.getAge());
    }
}
class User {
    private int age;
    public User() {
        this.age = 10;
    }
    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }
}

image.gif

一旦我们通过反射调用得到字段age，我们就可以使用Unsafe将其值更改为任何其他int值。（当然，这里也可以通过反射直接修改）

3.抛出checked异常

我们知道如果代码抛出了checked异常，要不就使用try...catch捕获它，要不就在方法签名上定义这个异常，但是，通过Unsafe我们可以抛出一个checked异常，同时却不用捕获或在方法签名上定义它。

// 使用正常方式抛出IOException需要定义在方法签名上往外抛
    public static void readFile() throws IOException {
        throw new IOException();
    }
    // 使用Unsafe抛出异常不需要定义在方法签名上往外抛
    public static void readFileUnsafe() {
        unsafe.throwException(new IOException());
    }

image.gif

4.CompareAndSwap操作

JUC下面大量使用了CAS操作，它们的底层是调用的Unsafe的CompareAndSwapXXX()方法。这种方式广泛运用于无锁算法，与java中标准的悲观锁机制相比，它可以利用CAS处理器指令提供极大的加速。

比如，我们可以基于Unsafe的compareAndSwapInt()方法构建线程安全的计数器。

class Counter {
    private volatile int count = 0;
    private static long offset;
    private static Unsafe unsafe;
    static {
        try {
            Field f = Unsafe.class.getDeclaredField("theUnsafe");
            f.setAccessible(true);
            unsafe = (Unsafe) f.get(null);
            offset = unsafe.objectFieldOffset(Counter.class.getDeclaredField("count"));
        } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    public void increment() {
        int before = count;
        // 失败了就重试直到成功为止
        while (!unsafe.compareAndSwapInt(this, offset, before, before + 1)) {
            before = count;
        }
    }
    public int getCount() {
        return count;
    }
}

image.gif

我们定义了一个volatile的字段count，以便对它的修改所有线程都可见，并在类加载的时候获取count在类中的偏移地址。

在increment()方法中，我们通过调用Unsafe的compareAndSwapInt()方法来尝试更新之前获取到的count的值，如果它没有被其它线程更新过，则更新成功，否则不断重试直到成功为止。

我们可以通过使用多个线程来测试我们的代码：

Counter counter = new Counter();
    ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(100);
    // 起100个线程，每个线程自增10000次
    IntStream.range(0, 100)
        .forEach(i->threadPool.submit(()->IntStream.range(0, 10000)
        .forEach(j->counter.increment())));
    threadPool.shutdown();
    Thread.sleep(2000);
    // 打印1000000
    System.out.println(counter.getCount());

image.gif

五、Unsafe的使用建议

建议先看这个知乎帖子第一楼R大的回答：为什么JUC中大量使用了sun.misc.Unsafe 这个类，但官方却不建议开发者使用。

使用Unsafe要注意以下几个问题：

    • 1、Unsafe有可能在未来的Jdk版本移除或者不允许Java应用代码使用，这一点可能导致使用了Unsafe的应用无法运行在高版本的Jdk。
    • 2、Unsafe的不少方法中必须提供原始地址(内存地址)和被替换对象的地址，偏移量要自己计算，一旦出现问题就是JVM崩溃级别的异常，会导致整个JVM实例崩溃，表现为应用程序直接crash掉。
    • 3、Unsafe提供的直接内存访问的方法中使用的内存不受JVM管理(无法被GC)，需要手动管理，一旦出现疏忽很有可能成为内存泄漏的源头。

    暂时总结出以上三点问题。Unsafe在JUC(java.util.concurrent)包中大量使用(主要是CAS)，在netty中方便使用直接内存，还有一些高并发的交易系统为了提高CAS的效率也有可能直接使用到Unsafe。总而言之，Unsafe类是一把双刃剑。

      深入JDK源码：揭开ConcurrentHashMap底层结构的神秘面纱
      【8月更文挑战第24天】`ConcurrentHashMap`是Java并发编程中不可或缺的线程安全哈希表实现。它通过精巧的锁机制和无锁算法显著提升了并发性能。本文首先介绍了早期版本中使用的“段”结构，每个段是一个带有独立锁的小型哈希表，能够减少线程间竞争并支持动态扩容以应对高并发场景。随后探讨了JDK 8的重大改进：取消段的概念，采用更细粒度的锁控制，并引入`Node`等内部类以及CAS操作，有效解决了哈希冲突并实现了高性能的并发访问。这些设计使得`ConcurrentHashMap`成为构建高效多线程应用的强大工具。

      太爆了！阿里最新出品2023版JDK源码学习指南，Github三天已万赞
      最近后台收到很多粉丝私信，说的是程序员究竟要不要去读源码？当下行情，面试什么样的薪资/岗位才会被问到源码？ 对此，我的回答是：一定要去读，并且要提到日程上来！ 据不完全统计，现在市面上不管是初级，中级，还是高级岗，面试的时候都有可能会问到源码中的问题，它已经成为程序员常规必备的一个技术点。如果你当下想通过一个面试，或者想把中级薪资要到相对于比较高的话，源码这块就必须要会。
