在javaeye有位朋友问了我一个非常好的问题。
问题
一个线程向volatile的数组中设置值，而另一个线程向volatile的数组中读取。
比如seg.setValue(2)，随后另一个线程调用seg.getValue(2)，前一个线程设置的值对读取的线程是可见的吗？
我看书上说volatile的数组只针对数组的引用具有volatile的语义，而不是它的元素。
ConcurrentHashMap中也有这样的代码，我很疑惑，希望得到你的解答，谢谢。
public class Seg {
private volatile Object[] tabs = new Object[10];
public void setValue(int index) {
tabs[index] = new Object();
}
public Object getValue(int index) {
return tabs[index];
}
}我的回答
我做了实验证实这句话是正确的，“volatile的数组只针对数组的引用具有volatile的语义
private static volatile Object[] tabs = new Object[10];
public static void main(String[] args) {
tabs[0]=1;
tabs=new Object[10];
}
，而不是它的元素”。
测试代码如下：
private static volatile Object[] tabs = new Object[10];
public static void main(String[] args) {
tabs[0]=1;
tabs=new Object[10];
}编译成汇编语句如下

可以看到line 7给数组的某个元素赋值时没有lock前缀的指令。
而修改数组line 9才有lock前缀的指令。
