1. 基本的线程机制
1.1 定义任务
线程可以驱动任务, 因此需要一种描述任务的方式, 可以由Runnable接口来提供. 实现Runnable接口并编写run方法, 就能够定义一个任务.
//: concurrency/LiftOff.java
// Demonstration of the Runnable interface.
public class LiftOff implements Runnable {
protected int countDown = 10; // Default
private static int taskCount = 0;
private final int id = taskCount++;
public LiftOff() {}
public LiftOff(int countDown) {
this.countDown = countDown;
}
public String status() {
return "#" + id + "(" +
(countDown > 0 ? countDown : "Liftoff!") + "), ";
}
public void run() {
while(countDown-- > 0) {
System.out.print(status());
Thread.yield();
}
}
} ///:~
Thread.yield()是对线程调度器的一种建议, 告诉它我已经完成了生命周期中最重要的部分了, 此刻应该把处理器给其他任务使用.
1.2 Thread类
将Runnable对象转变为工作任务是把他作为参数传递给Thread的构造函数.
//: concurrency/BasicThreads.java
// The most basic use of the Thread class.
public class BasicThreads {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Thread t = new Thread(new LiftOff());
t.start();
System.out.println("Waiting for LiftOff");
}
} /* Output: (90% match)
Waiting for LiftOff
#0(9), #0(8), #0(7), #0(6), #0(5), #0(4), #0(3), #0(2), #0(1), #0(Liftoff!),
*///:~
调用Thread的start()方法为该线程执行必须的初始化操作, 然后调用Runnable的run()方法, 以便在新线程中启动这个任务.start()方法会在调用后
立即返回. 尽管没有任何对线程对象的引用, 直到它的run()方法执行结束, 它是不会被回收的. 因为每个Thread都会注册它自己, 实际上还是有对
它的引用存在的.
1.3 使用Executor
java.util.concurrent.Executor会帮助我们管理Thread对象, 它在客户端和执行任务间提供了一个中间层.
//: concurrency/CachedThreadPool.java
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class CachedThreadPool {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ExecutorService exec = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
exec.execute(new LiftOff());
exec.shutdown();
}
} /* Output: (Sample)
#0(9), #0(8), #1(9), #2(9), #3(9), #4(9), #0(7), #1(8), #2(8), #3(8), #4(8), #0(6), #1(7), #2(7), #3(7), #4(7), #0(5), #1(6), #2(6), #3(6), #4(6), #0(4), #1(5), #2(5), #3(5), #4(5), #0(3), #1(4), #2(4), #3(4), #4(4), #0(2), #1(3), #2(3), #3(3), #4(3), #0(1), #1(2), #2(2), #3(2), #4(2), #0(Liftoff!), #1(1), #2(1), #3(1), #4(1), #1(Liftoff!), #2(Liftoff!), #3(Liftoff!), #4(Liftoff!),
*///:~
ChchedThreadPool为每个任务创建了一个线程, ExecutorService知道如何构建恰当的上下文来执行Runnable对象.
调用shutdown方法, 能够防止新任务被提交给Executor.
FixedThreadPool使用了有限的线程集来执行所提交的任务, 这样可以一次性预先执行线程的分配工作, 也可以限制线程的数量.
//: concurrency/FixedThreadPool.java
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class FixedThreadPool {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Constructor argument is number of threads:
ExecutorService exec = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5);
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
exec.execute(new LiftOff());
exec.shutdown();
}
} /* Output: (Sample)
#0(9), #0(8), #1(9), #2(9), #3(9), #4(9), #0(7), #1(8), #2(8), #3(8), #4(8), #0(6), #1(7), #2(7), #3(7), #4(7), #0(5), #1(6), #2(6), #3(6), #4(6), #0(4), #1(5), #2(5), #3(5), #4(5), #0(3), #1(4), #2(4), #3(4), #4(4), #0(2), #1(3), #2(3), #3(3), #4(3), #0(1), #1(2), #2(2), #3(2), #4(2), #0(Liftoff!), #1(1), #2(1), #3(1), #4(1), #1(Liftoff!), #2(Liftoff!), #3(Liftoff!), #4(Liftoff!),
*///:~
还有一种SingleThreadExecutor, 就像是线程数量为1的FixedThreadPool, 它非常适合在线程中执行短任务. 如果向它提交了多个任务, 那么这些任务将排队,
每个任务都会在下个任务执行开始之前结束. 所有的任务都使用相同的线程.
//: concurrency/SingleThreadExecutor.java
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class SingleThreadExecutor {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ExecutorService exec =
Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
exec.execute(new LiftOff());
exec.shutdown();
}
} /* Output:
#0(9), #0(8), #0(7), #0(6), #0(5), #0(4), #0(3), #0(2), #0(1), #0(Liftoff!), #1(9), #1(8), #1(7), #1(6), #1(5), #1(4), #1(3), #1(2), #1(1), #1(Liftoff!), #2(9), #2(8), #2(7), #2(6), #2(5), #2(4), #2(3), #2(2), #2(1), #2(Liftoff!), #3(9), #3(8), #3(7), #3(6), #3(5), #3(4), #3(3), #3(2), #3(1), #3(Liftoff!), #4(9), #4(8), #4(7), #4(6), #4(5), #4(4), #4(3), #4(2), #4(1), #4(Liftoff!),
*///:~
1.4 从任务中产生返回值
Runnable是执行工作的独立任务, 但它不返回任何值, 如果希望在任务完成时返回一个值, 可以考虑实现Callable接口. 它是一种具有类型参数的泛型, 它的类型参数
是从call()方法返回的值, 并且必须使用ExecutorService.submit()方法调用它.
//: concurrency/CallableDemo.java
import java.util.concurrent.*;
import java.util.*;
class TaskWithResult implements Callable<String> {
private int id;
public TaskWithResult(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String call() {
return "result of TaskWithResult " + id;
}
}
public class CallableDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ExecutorService exec = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
ArrayList<Future<String>> results =
new ArrayList<Future<String>>();
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
results.add(exec.submit(new TaskWithResult(i)));
for(Future<String> fs : results)
try {
// get() blocks until completion:
System.out.println(fs.get());
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println(e);
return;
} catch(ExecutionException e) {
System.out.println(e);
} finally {
exec.shutdown();
}
}
} /* Output:
result of TaskWithResult 0
result of TaskWithResult 1
result of TaskWithResult 2
result of TaskWithResult 3
result of TaskWithResult 4
result of TaskWithResult 5
result of TaskWithResult 6
result of TaskWithResult 7
result of TaskWithResult 8
result of TaskWithResult 9
*///:~
submit()方法会产生Future对象, 任务完成时, Future对象有一个结果, 可以使用get()方法获取该结果, 如果结果还没有产生, 那么get()方法将阻塞,
直到结果准备就绪.
1.5 休眠
调用sleep()方法使任务中止给定的时间.
//: concurrency/SleepingTask.java
// Calling sleep() to pause for a while.
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class SleepingTask extends LiftOff {
public void run() {
try {
while(countDown-- > 0) {
System.out.print(status());
// Old-style:
// Thread.sleep(100);
// Java SE5/6-style:
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(100);
}
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.err.println("Interrupted");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
ExecutorService exec = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
exec.execute(new SleepingTask());
exec.shutdown();
}
} /* Output:
#0(9), #1(9), #2(9), #3(9), #4(9), #0(8), #1(8), #2(8), #3(8), #4(8), #0(7), #1(7), #2(7), #3(7), #4(7), #0(6), #1(6), #2(6), #3(6), #4(6), #0(5), #1(5), #2(5), #3(5), #4(5), #0(4), #1(4), #2(4), #3(4), #4(4), #0(3), #1(3), #2(3), #3(3), #4(3), #0(2), #1(2), #2(2), #3(2), #4(2), #0(1), #1(1), #2(1), #3(1), #4(1), #0(Liftoff!), #1(Liftoff!), #2(Liftoff!), #3(Liftoff!), #4(Liftoff!),
*///:~
对sleep的调用可能跑出InterruptedException, 它在run中被捕获, 因为异常不能跨线程传播到main, 所以必须在本地处理所有任务内部的异常.
注意:不能依赖线程调度器来安排线程的执行顺序, 最好的办法是使用同步控制.
1.6 优先级
调度器根据线程的优先级来安排执行顺序, 但并不意味着优先级低的线程不能执行, 只是执行的频率较低. 所有线程都应该以默认的优先级运行, 通常
试图操纵线程的优先级都是错误的做法.
//: concurrency/SimplePriorities.java
// Shows the use of thread priorities.
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class SimplePriorities implements Runnable {
private int countDown = 5;
private volatile double d; // No optimization
private int priority;
public SimplePriorities(int priority) {
this.priority = priority;
}
public String toString() {
return Thread.currentThread() + ": " + countDown;
}
public void run() {
Thread.currentThread().setPriority(priority);
while(true) {
// An expensive, interruptable operation:
for(int i = 1; i < 100000; i++) {
d += (Math.PI + Math.E) / (double)i;
if(i % 1000 == 0)
Thread.yield();
}
System.out.println(this);
if(--countDown == 0) return;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
ExecutorService exec = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
exec.execute(
new SimplePriorities(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY));
exec.execute(
new SimplePriorities(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY));
exec.shutdown();
}
} /* Output: (70% match)
Thread[pool-1-thread-6,10,main]: 5
Thread[pool-1-thread-6,10,main]: 4
Thread[pool-1-thread-6,10,main]: 3

Thread[pool-1-thread-1,1,main]: 5
Thread[pool-1-thread-5,1,main]: 5
Thread[pool-1-thread-4,1,main]: 5
...
*///:~
JDK中定义的优先级与多数操作系统都不能映射得很好, 唯一可移植的方法是当调整优先级的时候使用MAX_PRIORITY, NORM_PRIORITY和MIN_PRIORITY.
1.7 让步
Thread.yield()暗示线程调度器, 可以让其他线程使用CPU了, 但没有任何机制保证它会被采纳,调用它时, 也是在建议具有相同优先级的线程可以运行了.
1.8 后台线程
Daemon线程指在程序允许过程中在后台提供通用服务的线程, 并且这种线程不是程序中不可或缺的部分. 当所有的非后台线程结束时, 程序也就终止了.
//: concurrency/SimpleDaemons.java
// Daemon threads don't prevent the program from ending.
import java.util.concurrent.*;
import static net.mindview.util.Print.*;
public class SimpleDaemons implements Runnable {
public void run() {
try {
while(true) {
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(100);
print(Thread.currentThread() + " " + this);
}
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
print("sleep() interrupted");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
Thread daemon = new Thread(new SimpleDaemons());
daemon.setDaemon(true); // Must call before start()
daemon.start();
}
print("All daemons started");
TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(175);
}
} /* Output: (Sample)
All daemons started

Thread[Thread-8,5,main] SimpleDaemons@1d58aae
Thread[Thread-9,5,main] SimpleDaemons@83cc67
...
*///:~
一旦main完成了它的工作, 程序就终止了.
通过编写定制的ThreadFactory可以定制由Executor创建的线程的属性.
//: net/mindview/util/DaemonThreadFactory.java
package net.mindview.util;
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class DaemonThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory {
public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
Thread t = new Thread(r);
t.setDaemon(true);
return t;
}
} ///:~

1.10 术语
Thread类本身不执行任何操作, 它只负责驱动赋予它的任务.
1.11加入一个线程
一个线程可以在其他线程之上调用join()方法, 效果是, 等待一段时间直到第二个线程结束后才继续执行. 也可以在调用join()时带超时参数, 如果目标线程在这段时间
还没有结束, join()方法总能返回. 如果在调用线程上调用interrupt()方法, 则对join()的调用将被中断.

// Understanding join().

super(name);

grumpy.interrupt();
}
} /* Output:

*///:~
java.util.concurrent.CyclicBarrier可能比join更加适合.
1.13 捕获异常
一旦异常逃出任务的run()方法, 他就会向外传播到控制台, 为了解决这个问题, 需要修改Executor产生线程的方式. Thead.UncaughtExcepitonHandler允许在
每个Thread对象附着一个异常处理器.Thead.UncaughtExcepitonHandler.uncaughtException()会在线程因未捕获异常而临近死亡之前被调用.
//: concurrency/CaptureUncaughtException.java
