Remarks

A reentrant mutual exclusion Lock with the same basic behavior and semantics as the implicit monitor lock accessed using synchronized methods and statements, but with extended capabilities.

A ReentrantLock is <em>owned</em> by the thread last successfully locking, but not yet unlocking it. A thread invoking lock will return, successfully acquiring the lock, when the lock is not owned by another thread. The method will return immediately if the current thread already owns the lock. This can be checked using methods #isHeldByCurrentThread, and #getHoldCount.

The constructor for this class accepts an optional <em>fairness</em> parameter. When set true, under contention, locks favor granting access to the longest-waiting thread. Otherwise this lock does not guarantee any particular access order. Programs using fair locks accessed by many threads may display lower overall throughput (i.e., are slower; often much slower) than those using the default setting, but have smaller variances in times to obtain locks and guarantee lack of starvation. Note however, that fairness of locks does not guarantee fairness of thread scheduling. Thus, one of many threads using a fair lock may obtain it multiple times in succession while other active threads are not progressing and not currently holding the lock. Also note that the untimed #tryLock() method does not honor the fairness setting. It will succeed if the lock is available even if other threads are waiting.

It is recommended practice to <em>always</em> immediately follow a call to lock with a try block, most typically in a before/after construction such as:

{@code
            class X {
              private final ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock();
              // ...

              public void m() {
                lock.lock();  // block until condition holds
                try {
                  // ... method body
                } finally {
                  lock.unlock();
                }
              }
            }}

In addition to implementing the Lock interface, this class defines a number of public and protected methods for inspecting the state of the lock. Some of these methods are only useful for instrumentation and monitoring.

Serialization of this class behaves in the same way as built-in locks: a deserialized lock is in the unlocked state, regardless of its state when serialized.

This lock supports a maximum of 2147483647 recursive locks by the same thread. Attempts to exceed this limit result in Error throws from locking methods.
