守护线程

在后台运行的线程称为守护线程。

Daemon线程示例:

垃圾收集器。 信号分配器。

守护线程的目标:

守护进程线程的主要目标是为非守护进程线程提供支持。

有关守护线程的其他信息:

通常，守护线程在MIN_PRIORITY中运行，但是，也可以使用MAX_PRIORITY运行守护线程。 示例:当需要额外的内存时，GC通常以MIN_PRIORITY优先级运行。JVM将GC的优先级从MIN_PRIORITY增加到MAX_PRIORITY。

一旦线程已经启动，就不能将其从守护线程更改为非守护线程，这会导致IllegalThreadStateException异常。 例子: public static void main(String[] args) { Thread.currentThread () .setDaemon(真正的); ｝ 输出: java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException线程异常 在java.base / java.lang.Thread.setDaemon (Thread.java: 1403)

If we are branching off a thread, the child thread inherits the nature of the parent thread. If the parent thread is a non-daemon thread automatically the child thread will be non-daemon as well and if the parent thread is a daemon, the child thread will be a daemon as well. class Scratch { public static void main(String[] args) { CustomThread customThread = new CustomThread(); customThread.start(); } } class CustomThread extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { System.out.println(currentThread().isDaemon()); } } Output: false

When the last non-daemon thread terminates, all the daemon threads get terminated automatically. class Scratch { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Main Thread Started."); CustomThread customThread = new CustomThread(); customThread.setDaemon(true); customThread.start(); System.out.println("Main Thread Finished."); } } class CustomThread extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { System.out.println("Custom Thread Started."); try { sleep(2000); } catch (InterruptedException ignore) {} System.out.println("Custom Thread Finished."); //Won't get executed. } } Output: Main Thread Started. Main Thread Finished. Custom Thread Started.

守护线程就像一个普通的线程，除了JVM只会在其他非守护线程不存在时关闭。守护进程线程通常用于为应用程序执行服务。

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)

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。

答案已经有很多了;然而，也许我可以更清楚地解释这一点，因为当我阅读Daemon Threads时，最初，我有一种感觉，我很好地理解了它;然而，在玩了它并调试了一下之后，我发现了一个奇怪的行为。

我被教导:

如果我想让线程在主线程有序完成执行后立即死亡，我应该将其设置为Diamond。

我尝试了什么:

我从主线程中创建了两个线程，我只将其中一个设置为菱形; 在主线程有序完成执行后，那些新创建的线程都没有退出，但我预计，守护线程应该已经退出; 我浏览了许多博客和文章，到目前为止，我找到的最好、最清晰的定义来自《Java并发实践》一书，它非常清楚地指出:

7.4.2守护线程

Sometimes you want to create a thread that performs some helper function but you don’t want the existence of this thread to prevent the JVM from shutting down. This is what daemon threads are for. Threads are divided into two types: normal threads and daemon threads. When the JVM starts up, all the threads it creates (such as garbage collector and other housekeeping threads) are daemon threads, except the main thread. When a new thread is created, it inherits the daemon status of the thread that created it, so by default any threads created by the main thread are also normal threads. Normal threads and daemon threads differ only in what happens when they exit. When a thread exits, the JVM performs an inventory of running threads, and if the only threads that are left are daemon threads, it initiates an orderly shutdown. When the JVM halts, any remaining daemon threads are abandoned— finally blocks are not executed, stacks are not unwound—the JVM just exits. Daemon threads should be used sparingly—few processing activities can be safely abandoned at any time with no cleanup. In particular, it is dangerous to use daemon threads for tasks that might perform any sort of I/O. Daemon threads are best saved for “housekeeping” tasks, such as a background thread that periodically removes expired entries from an in-memory cache.

Java守护线程

(守护进程)

Java使用用户线程和守护进程线程概念。

JVM流

1. If there are no `user treads` JVM starts terminating the program
2. JVM terminates all `daemon threads` automatically without waiting when they are done
3. JVM is shutdown

正如你所看到的，守护线程是用户线程的服务线程。

守护线程是低优先级线程。 线程从父线程继承它的属性。要从外部设置它，你可以在启动它之前使用setDaemon()方法或通过isDaemon()检查它
