Thread类，Runnable接口源码理解

Thread类，Runnable接口源码理解

1.创建并开启线程

一个类继承Thread类或者实现Runnable接口都可以创建一个线程。如下示例：
继承Thread方法，实现Runnable接口：

public class ThreadTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        MyThread myThread = new MyThread();
        myThread.start();

        MyThread myThread1 = new MyThread();
        Thread thread1 = new Thread(myThread1);
        thread1.start();
        
    	MyRunnable myRunnable = new MyRunnable();
		Thread thread = new Thread(myRunnable);
		thread.start();
    }

    static class MyThread extends Thread {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
            System.out.println("Thread.currentThread().getName() = " + Thread.currentThread().getName() + "   " + this.isAlive());
        }
    }

    static class MyRunnable implements Runnable {

        @Override
        public void run() {

            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
        }
    }
}

上面的代码使用了两种方式开启MyThread类的线程。重点看 new Thread(myThread1)这个方式，该方式之所以可以在Thread对象的构造器参数中传入MyThread类的对象。原因是Thread类的构造器可以传入Runnable类的对象。而查看Thread类的源码可知，Thread类实际上也是实现了Runnable接口，也就是Runnable接口的实现类。所以new Thread(myThread1)方式和new Thread(myRunnable);方式实际上是相同的。当以这两种方式创建并开启线程时，JVM直接调用的是Thread.java类的run()方法。创建并开启线程的核心源码如下：

public Thread(Runnable target) {
	init(null, target, "Thread-" + nextThreadNum(), 0);
}
private void init(ThreadGroup g, Runnable target, String name,
                      long stackSize) {
   	init(g, target, name, stackSize, null, true);
}
@Override
public void run() {
     if (target != null) {
         target.run();
     }
 }

根据源码可知target对象就是传入的Runnable的实现类对象。
