E
- the type of elements held in this collectionpublic class ConcurrentLinkedQueue<E> extends AbstractQueue<E> implements Queue<E>, Serializable
ConcurrentLinkedQueue
is an appropriate choice when
many threads will share access to a common collection.
Like most other concurrent collection implementations, this class
does not permit the use of null
elements.
This implementation employs an efficient "wait-free" algorithm based on one described in Simple, Fast, and Practical Non-Blocking and Blocking Concurrent Queue Algorithms by Maged M. Michael and Michael L. Scott.
Iterators are weakly consistent, returning elements
reflecting the state of the queue at some point at or since the
creation of the iterator. They do not throw ConcurrentModificationException
, and may proceed concurrently
with other operations. Elements contained in the queue since the creation
of the iterator will be returned exactly once.
Beware that, unlike in most collections, the size
method
is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the
asynchronous nature of these queues, determining the current number
of elements requires a traversal of the elements, and so may report
inaccurate results if this collection is modified during traversal.
Additionally, the bulk operations addAll
,
removeAll
, retainAll
, containsAll
,
equals
, and toArray
are not guaranteed
to be performed atomically. For example, an iterator operating
concurrently with an addAll
operation might view only some
of the added elements.
This class and its iterator implement all of the optional
methods of the Queue
and Iterator
interfaces.
Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent
collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a
ConcurrentLinkedQueue
happen-before
actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from
the ConcurrentLinkedQueue
in another thread.
This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.
Constructor and Description |
---|
ConcurrentLinkedQueue()
Creates a
ConcurrentLinkedQueue that is initially empty. |
ConcurrentLinkedQueue(Collection<? extends E> c)
Creates a
ConcurrentLinkedQueue
initially containing the elements of the given collection,
added in traversal order of the collection's iterator. |
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
boolean |
add(E e)
Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue.
|
boolean |
addAll(Collection<? extends E> c)
Appends all of the elements in the specified collection to the end of
this queue, in the order that they are returned by the specified
collection's iterator.
|
boolean |
contains(Object o)
Returns
true if this queue contains the specified element. |
boolean |
isEmpty()
Returns
true if this queue contains no elements. |
Iterator<E> |
iterator()
Returns an iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence.
|
boolean |
offer(E e)
Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue.
|
E |
peek()
Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue,
or returns null if this queue is empty.
|
E |
poll()
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue,
or returns null if this queue is empty.
|
boolean |
remove(Object o)
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue,
if it is present.
|
int |
size()
Returns the number of elements in this queue.
|
Object[] |
toArray()
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in
proper sequence.
|
<T> T[] |
toArray(T[] a)
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue, in
proper sequence; the runtime type of the returned array is that of
the specified array.

Beware that, unlike in most collections, this method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these queues, determining the current number of elements requires an O(n) traversal. Additionally, if elements are added or removed during execution of this method, the returned result may be inaccurate. Thus, this method is typically not very useful in concurrent applications.
