Thread Source Parsing
Thread method is mostly used by Native, which does not allow application layer modification. It is the most basic unit of CPU scheduling. Thread resource overhead is relatively small relative to process overhead, so we generally create thread execution, not process execution.
Thread Construction Method
/**
* Initializes a Thread.
*
* @param g the Thread group
* @param target the object whose run() method gets called
* @param name the name of the new Thread
* @param stackSize the desired stack size for the new thread, or
* zero to indicate that this parameter is to be ignored.

}There are many constructions in Thread. If there is no input thread name in the constructor, the Thread class will default to specify the thread name for us, that is, calling Thread- nextThreadNum(), and numbering the thread. This method is synchronous, which ensures that no asynchronous operation is performed and avoids the occurrence of the same line ID. The init() method is executed in all constructors, which is private and determines whether ThreadGroup is empty.
Thread implements the Runnable interface. How should the run method be implemented?
@Override
public void run() {
if (target != null) {
target.run();
}
}The target variable in the run method is the variable we passed in at the time of initialization. If the subclass overrides the run method, it will not call target.run().
Important methods in Thread:
start() method
/**
* Causes this thread to begin execution; the Java Virtual Machine
* calls the <code>run</code> method of this thread.
* <p>
* The result is that two threads are running concurrently: the
* current thread (which returns from the call to the
* <code>start</code> method) and the other thread (which executes its
* <code>run</code> method).
* <p>
* It is never legal to start a thread more than once.
* In particular, a thread may not be restarted once it has completed
* execution.
*
* @exception IllegalThreadStateException if the thread was already
* started.
* @see #run()
* @see #stop()
*/
public synchronized void start() {
/**
* This method is not invoked for the main method thread or "system"
* group threads created/set up by the VM. Any new functionality added
* to this method in the future may have to also be added to the VM.
*
* A zero status value corresponds to state "NEW".
*/
if (threadStatus != 0)
throw new IllegalThreadStateException();
/* Notify the group that this thread is about to be started
* so that it can be added to the group's list of threads
* and the group's unstarted count can be decremented. */
group.add(this);
started = false;
try {
nativeCreate(this, stackSize, daemon);
started = true;
} finally {
try {
if (!started) {
group.threadStartFailed(this);
}
} catch (Throwable ignore) {
/* do nothing. If start0 threw a Throwable then
it will be passed up the call stack */
}
}
}The start() method is synchronous and starts the thread for execution. The Java virtual machine will call the run method of the thread. As a result, two threads are executing, one of which is the thread that calls the start() method and the other is the thread that executes the run method. In the start() method, the first thread state judgment is that if it is a JVM newly started thread, the state of threadStatus is 0. If the thread is not 0, the exception will be reported, and then the thread will be added to the group. The result of execution in the group.add(this) method is to inform the group that the thread is going to execute, so it can be added to the group and then called. Native Create (this, stackSize, daemon) is used locally.
sleep() method
/**
* Causes the currently executing thread to sleep (temporarily cease
* execution) for the specified number of milliseconds plus the specified
* number of nanoseconds, subject to the precision and accuracy of system
* timers and schedulers. The thread does not lose ownership of any
* monitors.
*
* @param millis
* the length of time to sleep in milliseconds
*
* @param nanos
* {@code 0-999999} additional nanoseconds to sleep
*
* @throws IllegalArgumentException
* if the value of {@code millis} is negative, or the value of
* {@code nanos} is not in the range {@code 0-999999}
*
* @throws InterruptedException
* if any thread has interrupted the current thread. The
* <i>interrupted status</i> of the current thread is
* cleared when this exception is thrown.
*/
public static void sleep(long millis, int nanos)
throws InterruptedException {
if (millis < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("millis < 0: " + millis);
}
if (nanos < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("nanos < 0: " + nanos);
}
if (nanos > 999999) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("nanos > 999999: " + nanos);
}
// The JLS 3rd edition, section 17.9 says: "...sleep for zero
// time...need not have observable effects."
if (millis == 0 && nanos == 0) {
// ...but we still have to handle being interrupted.
if (Thread.interrupted()) {
throw new InterruptedException();
}
return;
}
long start = System.nanoTime();
long duration = (millis * NANOS_PER_MILLI) + nanos;
Object lock = currentThread().lock;
// Wait may return early, so loop until sleep duration passes.
synchronized (lock) {
while (true) {
sleep(lock, millis, nanos);
long now = System.nanoTime();
long elapsed = now - start;
if (elapsed >= duration) {
break;
}
duration -= elapsed;
start = now;
millis = duration / NANOS_PER_MILLI;
nanos = (int) (duration % NANOS_PER_MILLI);
}
}
}The sleep () method uses more threads. The purpose of this method is to make the current thread dormant for a certain period of time, but during this period the held lock is not released. In this method, the first step is to determine the dormancy time, and then to call the local method.
join() method
/**
* Waits at most {@code millis} milliseconds for this thread to
* die. A timeout of {@code 0} means to wait forever.
*
* <p> This implementation uses a loop of {@code this.wait} calls
* conditioned on {@code this.isAlive}. As a thread terminates the
* {@code this.notifyAll} method is invoked. It is recommended that
* applications not use {@code wait}, {@code notify}, or
* {@code notifyAll} on {@code Thread} instances.
*
* @param millis
* the time to wait in milliseconds
*
* @throws IllegalArgumentException
* if the value of {@code millis} is negative
*
* @throws InterruptedException
* if any thread has interrupted the current thread. The
* <i>interrupted status</i> of the current thread is
* cleared when this exception is thrown.
*/
public final void join(long millis) throws InterruptedException {
synchronized(lock) {
long base = System.currentTimeMillis();
long now = 0;
if (millis < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("timeout value is negative");
}
if (millis == 0) {
while (isAlive()) {
lock.wait(0);
}
} else {
while (isAlive()) {
long delay = millis - now;
if (delay <= 0) {
break;
}
lock.wait(delay);
now = System.currentTimeMillis() - base;
}
}
}
}The join method is to wait for the thread to execute until the timeout or termination. It can be used as a way of thread communication. A thread calls the join (blocking) of B thread and waits for B to complete before executing further.
interrupt() method
public void interrupt() {
if (this != Thread.currentThread())
checkAccess();
synchronized (blockerLock) {
Interruptible b = blocker;
if (b != null) {
nativeInterrupt();
b.interrupt(this);
return;
}
}
nativeInterrupt();
}The interrupt() method interrupts the current thread. Generally speaking, blocking functions, such as Thread.sleep, Thread.join, Object.wait, throw an InteruptedExeption while checking the interrupt state of the thread, and clear the interrupt state of the thread.
