如何跟踪多线程的执行顺序

如果想跟踪多个线程修改某个值的顺序,可以

1.为每个线程命名,也可以使用默认名
2.将线程名+变量值一起输出
3.让主线程等待其他线程结束

public class Machine extends Thread{

    private static StringBuffer log = new StringBuffer();
    private static int count = 0;
    private int a = 0;

    public void run(){
        for(int i=0; i<20; i++){
            a++;
            log.append(currentThread().getName()+":a="+a+" ");
            if(++count %10==0)
                log.append("\n");
        }
    }

    public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
        Machine machine1 = new Machine();
        Machine machine2 = new Machine();
        machine1.setName("t1");
        machine2.setName("t2");
        machine1.start();
        machine2.start();
        while(machine1.isAlive()||machine2.isAlive())
            Thread.sleep(500);
        System.out.println(log);
    }
}

输出结果:

t1:a=1 t1:a=2 t1:a=3 t1:a=4 t1:a=5 t2:a=1 t1:a=6 t2:a=2 t2:a=3 t2:a=4 
t2:a=5 t2:a=6 t2:a=7 t1:a=7 t2:a=8 t1:a=8 t1:a=9 t2:a=9 t1:a=10 t2:a=10 
t1:a=11 t1:a=12 t2:a=11 t1:a=13 t1:a=14 t2:a=12 t1:a=15 t1:a=16 t2:a=13 t1:a=17 
t2:a=14 t1:a=18 t2:a=15 t1:a=19 t1:a=20 t2:a=16 t2:a=17 t2:a=18 t2:a=19 t2:a=20 

如果想改变执行顺序, 可以为线程设定优先级, java提供了10个优先级,但不能与所有操作系统都能映射. Windows 2000有7个优先级, 并且不固定, Sun的Solaris有2的32次方个优先级.如果希望很好的移植, 就要是用MAX_PRIORITY, NORM_PRIORITY, MIN_PRIORITY这三个优先级.
