java线程中的用户线程与守护线程

守护进程的线程

这些线程在Java中是低优先级的线程，在后台运行以执行诸如垃圾收集之类的任务。Java中的守护线程也是一个服务提供者线程，它向用户线程提供服务。

用户线程

这些线程是高优先级线程。JVM将等待任何用户线程在终止它之前完成它的任务

“请记住用户和守护线程都包装在操作系统线程上”

最近OpenJdk在Loom项目中提出了虚拟线程(它们也是基于用户的)，你可以在这里找到更多关于Java虚拟机线程的纤维和延续。

Daemon thread is like daemon process which is responsible for managing resources,a daemon thread is created by the Java VM to serve the user threads. example updating system for unix,unix is daemon process. child of daemon thread is always daemon thread,so by default daemon is false.you can check thread as daemon or user by using "isDaemon()" method. so daemon thread or daemon process are basically responsible for managing resources. for example when you starting jvm there is garbage collector running that is daemon thread whose priority is 1 that is lowest,which is managing memory. jvm is alive as long as user thread is alive,u can not kill daemon thread.jvm is responsible to kill daemon threads.

守护线程是在进程的其他非守护线程仍在运行时在后台运行的线程。因此，当所有非守护进程线程完成时，守护进程线程将终止。非守护进程线程的一个例子是运行Main的线程。 通过在线程启动之前调用setDaemon()方法，将线程设置为守护进程

在Java中，守护线程是一种不阻止Java虚拟机(JVM)退出的线程类型。 守护线程的主要目的是执行后台任务，特别是一些例行的周期性任务或工作。JVM退出时，守护进程线程也会死亡。

通过设置thread. setdaemon (true)，线程变成守护线程。但是，您只能在线程启动之前设置这个值。

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)

让我们只讨论工作示例中的代码。我喜欢russ上面的回答，但为了消除我的疑虑，我稍微加强了一下。我运行了两次，一次工作线程设置为deamon true (deamon线程)，另一次设置为false(用户线程)。它确认守护线程在主线程结束时结束。

public class DeamonThreadTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    new WorkerThread(false).start();    //set it to true and false and run twice.

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

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

   class WorkerThread extends Thread {

    boolean isDeamon;

    public WorkerThread(boolean isDeamon) {
        // When false, (i.e. when it's a user thread),
        // the Worker thread continues to run.
        // When true, (i.e. when it's a daemon thread),
        // the Worker thread terminates when the main
        // thread terminates.
        this.isDeamon = isDeamon;
        setDaemon(isDeamon);
    }

    public void run() {
        System.out.println("I am a " + (isDeamon ? "Deamon Thread" : "User Thread (none-deamon)"));

        int counter = 0;

        while (counter < 10) {
            counter++;
            System.out.println("\tworking from Worker thread " + counter++);

            try {
                sleep(5000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // handle exception here
            }
        }
        System.out.println("\tWorker thread ends. ");
    }
}



result when setDeamon(true)
=====================================
I am a Deamon Thread
    working from Worker thread 0
    working from Worker thread 1
Main Thread ending

Process finished with exit code 0


result when setDeamon(false)
=====================================
I am a User Thread (none-deamon)
    working from Worker thread 0
    working from Worker thread 1
Main Thread ending
    working from Worker thread 2
    working from Worker thread 3
    working from Worker thread 4
    working from Worker thread 5
    working from Worker thread 6
    working from Worker thread 7
    working from Worker thread 8
    working from Worker thread 9
    Worker thread ends.
