先上结论:run只是Thread里面的一个普通方法,start是启动线程的方法。何以见得呢?可以执行下面的代码看看run和start的区别:
package com.basic.thread; /** * @author zhangxingrui * @create 2019-02-16 20:12 **/ public class TestRunAndStart { private static void sayHello(){ System.out.println("hello, world"); } public static void main(String[] args) { Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { sayHello(); System.out.println("Current thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getName()); } }); thread.run(); thread.start(); } }
执行结果:
由此可以看到子线程是由start来启动的,里面调用了run,所以打印出来的是子线程的name。
另外也可以从start方法的底层代码看到,首先进入start方法里面
public synchronized void start() { /** * This method is not invoked for the main method thread or "system" * group threads created/set up by the VM. Any new functionality added * to this method in the future may have to also be added to the VM. * * A zero status value corresponds to state "NEW". */ if (threadStatus != 0) throw new IllegalThreadStateException(); /* Notify the group that this thread is about to be started * so that it can be added to the group‘s list of threads * and the group‘s unstarted count can be decremented. */ group.add(this); boolean started = false; try { start0(); started = true; } finally { try { if (!started) { group.threadStartFailed(this); } } catch (Throwable ignore) { /* do nothing. If start0 threw a Throwable then it will be passed up the call stack */ } } }
里面调用了start0,继续跟进
private native void start0();
哦,这里就调了native方法了,再往下我们就看不到了。但是可以去openjdk的源码里面去看一下,我用的是jdk8。
去openjdk看源码
https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/file/f0b93fbd8cf8/src/share/native/java/lang/Thread.c
这里调用了JVM_StartThread,在jvm.h里面
继续进入
https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/hotspot/file/76a9c9cf14f1/src/share/vm/prims/jvm.cpp
重点看最下面的语句native_thread = new JavaThread(&thread_entry, sz),好,new JavaThread的时候传入了thread_entry,我们再去
看一下啊thread_entry是什么:
在thread_entry这个函数里面调用call_virtual方法,重点是它传入的参数run_method_name,从这里我们就知道了,噢,
原来start最终会在新线程里面调用run方法。
