线程是什么?
线程是操作系统能够调用的最小单位。
Java中线程共有几种状态呢?
通过查询JDK中的Thread.class中可以看到,java中的线程状态分别是:
-
NEW 初始态,线程被创建成功,但是还没有被运行。
-
RUNNABLE 可运行状态,此时线程已经被JVM加载,但是是否执行要等CPU的调度。
-
BLOCKED 阻塞状态 ,此时线程在被阻塞,等待监视器锁的释放。
-
WAITING 等待状态,等待其他线程来唤醒。
-
TIMED_WAITING 有时限的等待状态,也是在等待其他线程的唤醒。
-
TERMINATED 终止状态,代表线程声明周期的结束。具体可以参照下面的英文解释,可以加深理解。
/** * A thread state. A thread can be in one of the following states: * #NEW# A thread that has not yet started is in this state. * #RUNNABLE# A thread executing in the Java virtual machine is in this state. * #BLOCKED# A thread that is blocked waiting for a monitor lock is in this state. * #WAITING# A thread that is waiting indefinitely for another thread to perform a particular action is in this state. * #TIMED_WAITING# A thread that is waiting for another thread to perform an action for up to a specified waiting time is in this state. * #TERMINATED# A thread that has exited is in this state. */ public enum State { /** * Thread state for a thread which has not yet started. */ NEW, /** * Thread state for a runnable thread. A thread in the runnable * state is executing in the Java virtual machine but it may * be waiting for other resources from the operating system * such as processor. */ RUNNABLE, /** * Thread state for a thread blocked waiting for a monitor lock. * A thread in the blocked state is waiting for a monitor lock * to enter a synchronized block/method or * reenter a synchronized block/method after calling * {@link Object#wait() Object.wait}. */ BLOCKED, /** * Thread state for a waiting thread. * A thread is in the waiting state due to calling one of the * following methods: * <ul> * <li>{@link Object#wait() Object.wait} with no timeout</li> * <li>{@link #join() Thread.join} with no timeout</li> * <li>{@link LockSupport#park() LockSupport.park}</li> * </ul> * * <p>A thread in the waiting state is waiting for another thread to * perform a particular action. * * For example, a thread that has called <tt>Object.wait()</tt> * on an object is waiting for another thread to call * <tt>Object.notify()</tt> or <tt>Object.notifyAll()</tt> on * that object. A thread that has called <tt>Thread.join()</tt> * is waiting for a specified thread to terminate. */ WAITING, /** * Thread state for a waiting thread with a specified waiting time. * A thread is in the timed waiting state due to calling one of * the following methods with a specified positive waiting time: * <ul> * <li>{@link #sleep Thread.sleep}</li> * <li>{@link Object#wait(long) Object.wait} with timeout</li> * <li>{@link #join(long) Thread.join} with timeout</li> * <li>{@link LockSupport#parkNanos LockSupport.parkNanos}</li> * <li>{@link LockSupport#parkUntil LockSupport.parkUntil}</li> * </ul> */ TIMED_WAITING, /** * Thread state for a terminated thread. * The thread has completed execution. */ TERMINATED; }
线程中状态的转换
当使用NEW关键字创新线程时,线程的状态为NEW,当我们调用该线程的start()方法时,此时线程的状态是RUNNABLE,当该线程在执行过程中尝试获取锁的却获取不到的时候,线程进入BLOCKED状态,当线程阻塞一段时间最终获取到锁死时,线程就继续进入RUNNABLE状态,当线程执行Thread.sleep()方法时,线程进入WAITING状态,当线程执行Thread.sleep(500L)时,此时线程的状态为TIMED_WAITING,当线程执行完毕时,线程的状态为TERMINATED状态。
