C#多线程同步事件及等待句柄AutoResetEvent 和 ManualResetEvent

最近捣鼓了一下多线程的同步问题,发现其实C#关于多线程同步事件处理还是很灵活,这里主要写一下,自己测试的一些代码,涉及到了AutoResetEvent 和 ManualResetEvent,当然还有也简要提了一下System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitOne 、System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitAny和System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitAll ,下面我们一最初学者的角度来看,多线程之间的同步。

假设有这样的一个场景,主线程开了一个子线程,让子线程等着,等主线程完成了某件事情时再通知子线程去往下执行,这里关键就在于这个怎让子线程等着,主线程怎通知子线程,一般情况下我们不难想到用一个公共变量,于是咱们就有了下面的代码:

[csharp] view plaincopy
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;  

namespace AutoResetEventTest
{
    class Class1
    {
        static bool flag = true;  

        static void DoWork()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("   worker thread started, now waiting on event...");
            while (flag)
            {  

            }
            Console.WriteLine("   worker thread reactivated, now exiting...");
        }  

        static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("main thread starting worker thread...");
            Thread t = new Thread(DoWork);
            t.Start();  

            Console.WriteLine("main thrad sleeping for 1 second...");
            Thread.Sleep();  

            Console.WriteLine("main thread signaling worker thread...");
            flag = false;
        }
    }
}
虽然目的达到了,但是看着这代码就纠结,下面该是我们的主角上场了,AutoResetEvent 和 ManualResetEvent,关于这两者我们暂且认为是差不多了,稍后我会介绍他们的不同,这里以AutoResetEvent为例,其实很多官方的说法太过于抽象,这里通俗地讲,可以认为AutoResetEvent就是一个公共的变量(尽管它是一个事件),创建的时候可以设置为false,然后在要等待的线程使用它的WaitOne方法,那么线程就一直会处于等待状态,只有这个AutoResetEvent被别的线程使用了Set方法,也就是要发通知的线程使用了它的Set方法,那么等待的线程就会往下执行了,Set就是发信号,WaitOne是等待信号,只有发了信号,等待的才会执行。如果不发的话,WaitOne后面的程序就永远不会执行。好下面看用AutoResetEvent改造上面的程序:

[csharp] view plaincopy
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;  

namespace AutoResetEventTest
{
    class Class2
    {
        static AutoResetEvent mEvent=new AutoResetEvent(false);
        //static ManualResetEvent mEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);  

        static void DoWork()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("   worker thread started, now waiting on event...");
            mEvent.WaitOne();
            Console.WriteLine("   worker thread reactivated, now exiting...");
        }  

        static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("main thread starting worker thread...");
            Thread t = new Thread(DoWork);
            t.Start();  

            Console.WriteLine("main thrad sleeping for 1 second...");
            Thread.Sleep();  

            Console.WriteLine("main thread signaling worker thread...");
            mEvent.Set();
        }
    }
}
这时代码是不是清爽多了,这里其实你还会看到,把上面的AutoResetEvent换成ManualResetEvent也是没有问题的,那么它两之间的区别是什么呢?个人认为它们最大的区别在于,无论何时,只要 AutoResetEvent 激活线程,它的状态将自动从终止变为非终止。相反,ManualResetEvent 允许它的终止状态激活任意多个线程,只有当它的 Reset 方法被调用时才还原到非终止状态。开下面的代码:

[csharp] view plaincopy
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;  

namespace AutoResetEventTest
{
    class Class3
    {
        static AutoResetEvent mEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false);
        //static ManualResetEvent mEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);  

        static void DoWork()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("   worker thread started, now waiting on event...");
            ; i < ; i++)
            {
                mEvent.WaitOne();
                //mEvent.Reset();
                Console.WriteLine("   worker thread reactivated, now exiting...");
            }
        }  

        static void Main()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("main thread starting worker thread...");
            Thread t = new Thread(DoWork);
            t.Start();  

            ; i < ; i++)
            {
                Thread.Sleep();
                Console.WriteLine("main thread signaling worker thread...");
                mEvent.Set();
            }
        }
    }
}
如果你想仅仅把AutoResetEvent换成ManualResetEvent的话,你发现输出就会乱套了,为什么呢?
假如有autoevent.WaitOne()和manualevent.WaitOne(),当线程得到信号后都得以继续执行。差别就在调用后,autoevent.WaitOne()每次只允许一个线程进入,当某个线程得到信号(也就是有其他线程调用了autoevent.Set()方法后)后,autoevent会自动又将信号置为不发送状态,则其他调用WaitOne的线程只有继续等待,也就是说,autoevent一次只唤醒一个线程。而manualevent则可以唤醒多个线程,当某个线程调用了set方法后,其他调用waitone的线程获得信号得以继续执行,而manualevent不会自动将信号置为不发送,也就是说,除非手工调用了manualevent.Reset()方法,否则manualevent将一直保持有信号状态,manualevent也就可以同时唤醒多个线程继续执行。

在上面代码中,如果将AutoResetEvent换成ManualResetEvent的话,只要要在waitone后面做下reset,就会达到同样的效果。

之后咱们再来个简单的例子:

[csharp] view plaincopy
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;  

namespace AutoResetEventTest
{
    class Class4
    {
        public static AutoResetEvent mEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false);  

        public static void trmain()
        {
            Thread tr = Thread.CurrentThread;
            Console.WriteLine("thread: waiting for an event");
            mEvent.WaitOne();
            Console.WriteLine("thread: got an event");
            ; x < ; x++)
            {
                Thread.Sleep();
                Console.WriteLine(tr.Name + ": " + x);
            }
        }
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Thread thrd1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(trmain));
            thrd1.Name = "thread1";
            thrd1.Start();
            ; x < ; x++)
            {
                Thread.Sleep();
                Console.WriteLine("Main:" + x);
                 == x) mEvent.Set();
            }
            while (thrd1.IsAlive)
            {
                Thread.Sleep();
                Console.WriteLine("Main: waiting for thread to stop");
            }
        }
    }
}
是不是更有感觉了?之后咱来看看另外几个东东:

System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitOne 使线程一直等待,直到单个事件变为终止状态;

System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitAny 阻止线程,直到一个或多个指示的事件变为终止状态;

System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitAll 阻止线程,直到所有指示的事件都变为终止状态。

然后再来个例子,以WaitAll使用为例:

[csharp] view plaincopy
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;  

namespace AutoResetEventTest
{
    class other
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Random randomGenerator = new Random();
            AutoResetEvent[] resets=];  

            ; i < ; i++)
            {
                resets[i] = new AutoResetEvent(false);
                )+;  

                worker w = new worker(wTime, resets[i]);  

                Thread thrd1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(w.work));
                thrd1.Start();
            }
            WaitHandle.WaitAll(resets);
            Console.WriteLine("ALL worker done - main exiting.");
        }  

    }  

    public class worker
    {
        public string name;
        public int wTime;
        public AutoResetEvent mEvent;  

        public worker(int w, AutoResetEvent m)
        {
            name = w.ToString();
            wTime = w * ;
            mEvent = m;
        }  

        public void work()
        {
            Console.WriteLine(name + " worker thread waiting for " + wTime + "....");
            Thread.Sleep(wTime);
            Console.WriteLine(name + " worker thread back...");
            mEvent.Set();
        }
    }
}
简单来说就是,开了5个线程,每个线程随机休眠若干秒,都完成后通知主线程退出,这里就开了一个AutoResetEvent数组,主线程就WaitHandle.WaitAll(resets) ,子线程休眠完后就Set1个AutoResetEvent,最后都Set完后,主线程就会往下执行。最后最后再来个买书付款取货的例子,加深理解:

[csharp] view plaincopy
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;  

namespace AutoResetEventTest
{
    class Program
    {
        ;
        static AutoResetEvent myResetEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false);
        static AutoResetEvent ChangeEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false);
        //static ManualResetEvent myResetEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);
        //static ManualResetEvent ChangeEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);
        static int number; //这是关键资源  

        static void Main()
        {
            Thread payMoneyThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(PayMoneyProc));
            payMoneyThread.Name = "付钱线程";
            Thread getBookThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(GetBookProc));
            getBookThread.Name = "取书线程";
            payMoneyThread.Start();
            getBookThread.Start();  

            ; i <= numIterations; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("买书线程:数量{0}", i);
                number = i;
                //Signal that a value has been written.
                myResetEvent.Set();
                //ChangeEvent.Set();
                Thread.Sleep();
            }
            payMoneyThread.Abort();
            getBookThread.Abort();
        }  

        static void PayMoneyProc()
        {
            while (true)
            {
                myResetEvent.WaitOne();
                //myResetEvent.Reset();
                Console.WriteLine("{0}:数量{1}", Thread.CurrentThread.Name, number);
                ChangeEvent.Set();
            }
        }
        static void GetBookProc()
        {
            while (true)
            {
                ChangeEvent.WaitOne();
                //ChangeEvent.Reset();
                Console.WriteLine("{0}:数量{1}", Thread.CurrentThread.Name, number);
                Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------------");
                //Thread.Sleep(0);
            }
        }
    }
}
