66) Consider the following Java code snippet,
which is initializing two variables and both are not volatile, and two threads T1 and T2 are modifying these values as following, both are not synchronized
int x = 0;
boolean bExit = false;
Thread 1 (not synchronized)
x = 1;
bExit = true;
Thread 2 (not synchronized)
if (bExit == true)
System.out.println("x=" + x);
Now tell us, is it possible for Thread 2 to print “x=0”?
Answer: It's impossible for a list of tricky Java questions to not contain anything from multi-threading. This is the simplest one I can get. Answer of this question is Yes, It's possible that thread T2 may print x=0.Why? because without any instruction to compiler e.g. synchronized or volatile, bExit=true might come before x=1 in compiler reordering. Also, x=1 might not become visible in Thread 2, so Thread 2 will load x=0. Now, how do you fix it?
When I asked this question to a couple of programmers they answer differently, one suggests to make both threads synchronized on a common mutex, another one said make both variable volatile. Both are correct, as it will prevent reordering and guarantee visibility.
But the best answer is you just need to make bExit as volatile, then Thread 2 can only print “x=1”. x does not need to be volatile because x cannot be reordered to come after bExit=true when bExit is volatile.
