public Class Blocker

extends Object
Class Inheritance
Imports
jdk.internal.access.JavaLangAccess, .SharedSecrets
Defines static methods to mark the beginning and end of a possibly blocking operation. The methods are intended to be used with try-finally as follows:
boolean attempted = Blocker.begin(); try { // blocking operation } finally { Blocker.end(attempted); } 
boolean attempted = Blocker.begin();
try {
    // blocking operation
} finally {
    Blocker.end(attempted);
}
If invoked from a virtual thread and the underlying carrier thread is a CarrierThread then the code in the block runs as if it were in run in ForkJoinPool.ManagedBlocker. This means the pool can be expanded to support additional parallelism during the blocking operation.
