Thread.join()的使用

用法
如果一个线程t1在另外一个线程t2上调用join方法，那么t1将被挂起，直到t2结束，t1才会执行任务。

一个简单例子

public class TestJoin implements Runnable {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        Thread t = new Thread(new TestJoin());
        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
        t.start();
        t.join(1000);  //等待线程t执行1000毫秒在执行main线程
        long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
        long result = end - start;
        System.out.println("cost time: " + result);
        System.out.println("Main finished");
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
            try {
                sleep(1000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            System.out.println("睡眠: " + i);
        }
        System.out.println("TestJoin finished");
    }
}

执行结果：

cost time: 1001
Main finished
睡眠: 1
睡眠: 2
睡眠: 3
睡眠: 4
睡眠: 5
TestJoin finished

主线程会让线程t执行1秒，之后main线程和t线程进行抢占式调用

join源码

 public final synchronized void join(long millis)
    throws InterruptedException {
        long base = System.currentTimeMillis();
        long now = 0;

        if (millis < 0) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("timeout value is negative");
        }

        if (millis == 0) {
            while (isAlive()) {
                wait(0);
            }
        } else {
            while (isAlive()) {
                long delay = millis - now;
                if (delay <= 0) {
                    break;
                }
                wait(delay);
                now = System.currentTimeMillis() - base;
            }
        }
    }

  public final void join() throws InterruptedException {
        join(0);
    }

查看源码发现其底层的实现为wait。上面的例子中当main线程调用t.join()，main线程将等待，t线程将获得1秒的执行时间
