有人能告诉我Java中的守护线程是什么吗?


当前回答

守护进程线程通常被称为“服务提供者”线程。这些线程不应该用来执行程序代码,而应该用来执行系统代码。这些线程与您的代码并行运行,但JVM可以随时终止它们。当JVM没有发现用户线程时,它将停止用户线程,所有守护进程线程立即终止。我们可以使用以下方法将非守护线程设置为守护线程:

setDaemon(true)

其他回答

守护线程就像一个服务提供者,为运行在与守护线程相同进程中的其他线程或对象提供服务。守护线程用于后台支持任务,只有在正常线程执行时才需要守护线程。如果正常线程不运行,其余线程是守护线程,则解释器退出。

例如,HotJava浏览器使用最多4个名为“Image Fetcher”的守护线程从文件系统或网络中为任何需要的线程获取图像。

守护线程通常用于为应用程序/applet执行服务(例如加载“fiddley bits”)。用户线程和守护线程之间的核心区别在于,JVM只会在所有用户线程都终止时关闭程序。当不再有任何用户线程在运行(包括执行主线程)时,守护线程将由JVM终止。

setDaemon(真/假)?此方法用于指定一个线程是守护线程。

公共boolean isDaemon() ?此方法用于确定线程是否是守护线程。

Eg:

public class DaemonThread extends Thread {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Entering run method");

        try {
            System.out.println("In run Method: currentThread() is" + Thread.currentThread());

            while (true) {
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(500);
                } catch (InterruptedException x) {}

                System.out.println("In run method: woke up again");
            }
        } finally {
            System.out.println("Leaving run Method");
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Entering main Method");

        DaemonThread t = new DaemonThread();
        t.setDaemon(true);
        t.start();

        try {
            Thread.sleep(3000);
        } catch (InterruptedException x) {}

        System.out.println("Leaving main method");
    }

}

输出:

C:\java\thread>javac DaemonThread.java

C:\java\thread>java DaemonThread
Entering main Method
Entering run method
In run Method: currentThread() isThread[Thread-0,5,main]
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
In run method: woke up again
Leaving main method

C:\j2se6\thread>

对我来说,守护线程就像用户线程的管家。 如果所有用户线程都已完成,守护进程线程就没有任务 JVM杀死。 我在YouTube视频里解释过了。

以上答案都是好的。下面是一个简单的小代码片段,以说明两者的区别。在setDaemon中分别尝试true和false值。

public class DaemonTest {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new WorkerThread().start();

        try {
            Thread.sleep(7500);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // handle here exception
        }

        System.out.println("Main Thread ending") ;
    }

}

class WorkerThread extends Thread {
    
    public WorkerThread() {
        // When false, (i.e. when it's a non daemon thread),
        // the WorkerThread continues to run.
        // When true, (i.e. when it's a daemon thread),
        // the WorkerThread terminates when the main 
        // thread or/and user defined thread(non daemon) terminates.
        setDaemon(true); 
    }
    
    public void run() {
        int count = 0;

        while (true) {
            System.out.println("Hello from Worker "+count++);

            try {
                sleep(5000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // handle exception here
            }
        }
    }
}

我想澄清一个误解:

Assume that if daemon thread (say B) is created within user thread (say A); then ending of this user thread/parent thread (A) will not end the daemon thread/child thread (B) it has created; provided user thread is the only one currently running. So there is no parent-child relationship on thread ending. All daemon threads (irrespective of where it is created) will end once there is no single live user thread and that causes JVM to terminate. Even this is true for both (parent/child) are daemon threads. If a child thread created from a daemon thread then that is also a daemon thread. This won't need any explicit daemon thread flag setting. Similarly if a child thread created from a user thread then that is also a user thread, if you want to change it, then explicit daemon flag setting is needed before start of that child thread.

守护线程是在程序完成但线程仍在运行时不阻止JVM退出的线程。守护进程线程的一个例子是垃圾收集。

您可以使用setDaemon(boolean)方法在线程启动之前更改线程守护进程属性。
