JAVA正确地停止一个线程

如何正确停止线程

关于如何正确停止线程，这篇文章(how to stop thread)给出了一个很好的答案, 总结起来就下面3点（在停止线程时）：

1. 使用violate boolean变量来标识线程是否停止

2. 停止线程时，需要调用停止线程的interrupt()方法，因为线程有可能在wait()或sleep(), 提高停止线程的即时性

3. 对于blocking IO的处理，尽量使用InterruptibleChannel来代替blocking IO

 

核心如下：

 

If you are writing your own small thread then you should follow the following example code.

    private volatile Thread myThread;
    public void stopMyThread() {
        Thread tmpThread = myThread;
        myThread = null;
        if (tmpThread != null) {
            tmpThread.interrupt();
        }
    }
    public void run() {
        if (myThread == null) {
           return; // stopped before started.
        }
        try {
            // all the run() method's code goes here
            ...
            // do some work
            Thread.yield(); // let another thread have some time perhaps to stop this one.
            if (Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
               throw new InterruptedException("Stopped by ifInterruptedStop()");
            }
            // do some more work
            ...
        } catch (Throwable t) {
           // log/handle all errors here
        }
    }
