Java多線程開發簡化類庫 SlicedBread

SlicedBread 是一個用于簡化 Java 多線程程序編寫的類庫。

SlicedBread is a library that makes it simpler to program multithreaded applications in Java. It does so by doing away with "classic" multithreaded staples - that is, shared state using thread-safe objects, locks and synchronizers - versus a set of single-thread processes that send and receive immutable messages. In a sense it is inspired by Erlang's messaging system. In another, the over 400 rich pages of "Java concurrency in practice" show how hard it is to write and debug a good-mannered multithreaded application in Java.

SlicedBread has been used in production systems for quite a bit of time now with no major issues, so I thought it was something that could benefit the community at large and I'm sharing it.

Sample application

The sample application is available at under the sources as:

    ch.loway.oss.sbDemos.helloWorld.HelloWorld

It basically spawns a couple of threads and sends each a simple message so that one prints "Hello" and the other "World".

The output looks something like:

    Hello world starting
    (Thread A#2) I am thread Thread A (created by Main)
    (Thread A#2) PRINTING: Hello
    (Thread A#2) Now Stopping
    (Thread B#3) I am thread Thread B (created by Main)
    (Thread B#3) PRINTING: World
    (Thread B#3) Now Stopping
    Message found: F:Thread A#2 T:Main#1 - ProcessStarted
    Message found: F:Thread A#2 T:Main#1 - ProcessEnded 
    Message found: F:Thread B#3 T:Main#1 - ProcessStarted
    Message found: F:Thread B#3 T:Main#1 - ProcessEnded
