Re: JMM- synchronization access in a concrete example.

2018-09-25 Thread John Hening
Tom, 

Actually you right. I get it! 

Gil, 
thanks for your note. You obviously right. If I use multithreaded executor 
I got a lot races in a result. 
So, does it mean that my both version of example are correct? 

How to interpret a citation given by Cezary?: "If x and y are actions of 
the same thread and x comes before y in program order, then hb(x, y)."
For my eye the key is in interpreting of program order. So, if we have two 
statements [X, Y] and order of execution does not matter because both are 
intrathread-consistent it means that [Y,X] are in program order and HB(Y,X) 
by a rule I cite above. 

So, If we had no Executor's (and no other) guarantee it could be reordered.

Re: JMM- synchronization access in a concrete example.

2018-09-25 Thread Gil Tene
As Tom noted, The Executor's submission happens-before promise prevents a 
reordering of (1) and (2) above.

Note that, as written, the reason you you don't have data races between (2) 
and (2) is that executor is known to be a single threaded executor (and 
will only run one task at a time). Without that quality, you would have 
plenty of (2) vs. (2) races. It is not that "doers contain different 
objects": your code submits executions of functions using the same x member 
of xs to all doers, and it is only the guaranteed serialization in your 
chosen executor implementation that prevents x,f()s from racing on the same 
x...

My guess because "If x and y are actions of the same thread and x comes
before y in program order, then hb(x, y)."

It does not matter that they are executed on the same thread. I do not see 
cause here to HB relation was set up.

Re: JMM- synchronization access in a concrete example.

2018-09-25 Thread 'Cezary Biernacki' via mechanical-sympathy
Hi,
I assume you are worried that (1) can be moved by the compiler below
"executor.execute()"  or on processors with weak memory models changes from
(1) might not be fully visible to other threads  when (2) is executed. I
believe it is not going to happen, as (1) should happen before
"executor.execute()" (because they are on the same thread), which in turn
should happen before retrieving a task for execution (because they are
synchronised via task queue), which again happens before (2) (because on
the same thread with the retrieving operation).

Best regards,
Cezary
