Each 038 * {@linkplain #submit enqueued} callable will not be submitted to its associated executor until the 039 * previous callable has returned -- and, if the previous callable was an {@link AsyncCallable}, not 040 * until the {@code Future} it returned is {@linkplain Future#isDone done} (successful, failed, or 041 * cancelled). 042 * 043 * <p>This class serializes execution of <i>submitted</i> tasks but not any <i>listeners</i> of 044 * those tasks. 045 * 046 * <p>Submitted tasks have a happens-before order as defined in the Java Language Specification. 047 * Tasks execute with the same happens-before order that the function calls to {@link #submit} and 048 * {@link #submitAsync} that submitted those tasks had. 049 * 050 * <p>This class has limited support for cancellation and other "early completions": 051 * 052 * <ul> 053 * <li>While calls to {@code submit} and {@code submitAsync} return a {@code Future} that can be 054 * cancelled, cancellation never propagates to a task that has started to run -- neither to 055 * the callable itself nor to any {@code Future} returned by an {@code AsyncCallable}. 056 * (However, cancellation can prevent an <i>unstarted</i> task from running.) Therefore, the 057 * next task will wait for any running callable (or pending {@code Future} returned by an 058 * {@code AsyncCallable}) to complete, without interrupting it (and without calling {@code 059 * cancel} on the {@code Future}). So beware: <i>Even if you cancel every preceding {@code 060 * Future} returned by this class, the next task may still have to wait.</i>. 061 * <li>Once an {@code AsyncCallable} returns a {@code Future}, this class considers that task to 062 * be "done" as soon as <i>that</i> {@code Future} completes in any way. Notably, a {@code 063 * Future} is "completed" even if it is cancelled while its underlying work continues on a 064 * thread, an RPC, etc. The {@code Future} is also "completed" if it fails "early" -- for 065 * example, if the deadline expires on a {@code Future} returned from {@link 066 * Futures#withTimeout} while the {@code Future} it wraps continues its underlying work. So 067 * beware: <i>Your {@code AsyncCallable} should not complete its {@code Future} until it is 068 * safe for the next task to start.</i> 069 * </ul> 070 * 071 * <p>This class is similar to {@link MoreExecutors#newSequentialExecutor}. This class is different 072 * in a few ways: 073 * 074 * <ul> 075 * <li>Each task may be associated with a different executor. 076 * <li>Tasks may be of type {@code AsyncCallable}. 077 * <li>Running tasks <i>cannot</i> be interrupted. (Note that {@code newSequentialExecutor} does 078 * not return {@code Future} objects, so it doesn't support interruption directly, either. 079 * However, utilities that <i>use</i> that executor have the ability to interrupt tasks 080 * running on it. This class, by contrast, does not expose an {@code Executor} API.) 081 * </ul> 082 * 083 * <p>If you don't need the features of this class, you may prefer {@code newSequentialExecutor} for 084 * its simplicity and ability to accommodate interruption. 085 * 086 * @since 26.0 087 */ 088@J2ktIncompatible 089public final class ExecutionSequencer { 090 091 private ExecutionSequencer() {} 092 093 /** Creates a new instance. */ 094 public static ExecutionSequencer create() { 095 return new ExecutionSequencer(); 096 } 097 098 /** This reference acts as a pointer tracking the head of a linked list of ListenableFutures. */ 099 private final AtomicReference<ListenableFuture<@Nullable Void>> ref = 100 new AtomicReference<>(immediateVoidFuture()); 101 102 private @LazyInit ThreadConfinedTaskQueue latestTaskQueue = new ThreadConfinedTaskQueue(); 103 104 /** 105 * This object is unsafely published, but avoids problematic races by relying exclusively on the 106 * identity equality of its Thread field so that the task field is only accessed by a single 107 * thread. 108 */ 109 private static final class ThreadConfinedTaskQueue { 110 /** 111 * This field is only used for identity comparisons with the current thread.
