SynchronousQueueboolean
SynchronousQueueboolean is a variation of Java's SynchronousQueue that operates in a strictly fair, bounded, and blocking manner. Unlike the standard SynchronousQueue, which can be either fair or unfair, SynchronousQueueboolean enforces a first-in, first-out order for threads attempting to offer or take elements. This means that threads are always served in the order they arrive. The queue is also bounded, with a capacity of one element. This implies that an offer operation will block until a corresponding take operation is available, and a take operation will block until a corresponding offer operation is available. There is no internal storage for elements; they are directly transferred from the producer thread to the consumer thread. This direct handoff is the defining characteristic of SynchronousQueue. The boolean parameter in its constructor, when set to true, dictates this strict fairness policy. If set to false, it behaves like the standard SynchronousQueue which may allow for unfairness in thread scheduling. SynchronousQueueboolean is useful in scenarios where immediate, one-to-one handoffs between threads are required and fairness is a critical requirement, such as in producer-consumer patterns where the order of processing is important.
