      Parameters:
      q - the blocking queue to be drained
      buffer - where to add the transferred elements
      numElements - the number of elements to be waited for
      timeout - how long to wait before giving up, in units of unit

      Parameters:
      q - the blocking queue to be drained
      buffer - where to add the transferred elements
      numElements - the number of elements to be waited for

      Parameters:
      q - the blocking queue to be drained
      buffer - where to add the transferred elements
      numElements - the number of elements to be waited for

    • synchronizedQueue

      public static <E> Queue<E> synchronizedQueue(Queue<E> queue)
      Returns a synchronized (thread-safe) queue backed by the specified queue. In order to guarantee serial access, it is critical that all access to the backing queue is accomplished through the returned queue.

      It is imperative that the user manually synchronize on the returned queue when accessing the queue's iterator:

      
       Queue<E> queue = Queues.synchronizedQueue(MinMaxPriorityQueue.<E>create());
       ...
       queue.add(element);  // Needn't be in synchronized block
       ...
       synchronized (queue) {  // Must synchronize on queue!
         Iterator<E> i = queue.iterator(); // Must be in synchronized block
         while (i.hasNext()) {
           foo(i.next());
         }
       }
       

      Failure to follow this advice may result in non-deterministic behavior.

      The returned queue will be serializable if the specified queue is serializable.

      Parameters:
      queue - the queue to be wrapped in a synchronized view
      Returns:
      a synchronized view of the specified queue
      Since:
      14.0
    • synchronizedDeque

      public static <E> Deque<E> synchronizedDeque(Deque<E> deque)
      Returns a synchronized (thread-safe) deque backed by the specified deque. In order to guarantee serial access, it is critical that all access to the backing deque is accomplished through the returned deque.

      It is imperative that the user manually synchronize on the returned deque when accessing any of the deque's iterators:

      
       Deque<E> deque = Queues.synchronizedDeque(Queues.<E>newArrayDeque());
       ...
       deque.add(element);  // Needn't be in synchronized block
       ...
       synchronized (deque) {  // Must synchronize on deque!
         Iterator<E> i = deque.iterator(); // Must be in synchronized block
         while (i.hasNext()) {
           foo(i.next());
         }
       }
       

      Failure to follow this advice may result in non-deterministic behavior.

      The returned deque will be serializable if the specified deque is serializable.

      Parameters:
      deque - the deque to be wrapped in a synchronized view
      Returns:
      a synchronized view of the specified deque
