对Java中interrupt、interrupted和isInterrupted的理解(转载)

今天在看到Thread类的isInterrupted方法可以获取线程的中断状态:

于是写了个例子想验证一下:

public class Interrupt {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Thread t = new Thread(new Worker());
        t.start();
        
        Thread.sleep(200);
        t.interrupt();
        
        System.out.println("Main thread stopped.");
    }
    
    public static class Worker implements Runnable {
        public void run() {
            System.out.println("Worker started.");
            
            try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                System.out.println("Worker IsInterrupted: " + 
                        Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted());
            }
            
            System.out.println("Worker stopped.");
        }
    }
}

内容很简答:主线程main启动了一个子线程Worker,然后让worker睡500ms,而main睡200ms,之后main调用worker线程的interrupt方法去中断worker,worker被中断后打印中断的状态。下面是执行结果:

Worker started.
Main thread stopped.
Worker IsInterrupted: false
Worker stopped.

Worker明明已经被中断,而isInterrupted()方法竟然返回了false,为什么呢?
在stackoverflow上搜索了一圈之后,发现有网友提到:可以查看抛出InterruptedException方法的JavaDoc(或源代码),于是我查看了Thread.sleep方法的文档,doc中是这样描述这个InterruptedException异常的:

InterruptedException - if any thread has interrupted the current thread. The interrupted status of the current thread is cleared when this exception is thrown.

注意到后面这句“当抛出这个异常的时候,中断状态已被清除”。所以isInterrupted()方法应该返回false。可是有的时候,我们需要isInterrupted这个方法返回true,怎么办呢?这里就要先说说interrupt, interrupted和isInterrupted的区别了:
interrupt方法是用于中断线程的,调用该方法的线程的状态将被置为"中断"状态。注意:线程中断仅仅是设置线程的中断状态位,不会停止线程。需要用户自己去监视线程的状态为并做处理。支持线程中断的方法(也就是线程中断后会抛出InterruptedException的方法,比如这里的sleep,以及Object.wait等方法)就是在监视线程的中断状态,一旦线程的中断状态被置为“中断状态”,就会抛出中断异常。这个观点可以通过这篇文章证实:

interrupt() merely sets the thread's interruption status. Code running in the interrupted thread can later poll the interrupted status to see if it has been requested to stop what it is doing

再来看看interrupted方法的实现:

public static boolean interrupted() {
    return currentThread().isInterrupted(true);
}

和isInterrupted的实现:

public boolean isInterrupted() {
    return isInterrupted(false);
}

这两个方法一个是static的,一个不是,但实际上都是在调用同一个方法,只是interrupted方法传入的参数为true,而iInterrupted传入的参数为false。那么这个参数到底是什么意思呢?来看下这个isInterrupted(boolean)方法的实现:

/**
* Tests if some Thread has been interrupted.  The interrupted state
* is reset or not based on the value of ClearInterrupted that is
* passed.
*/
private native boolean isInterrupted(boolean ClearInterrupted);

这是一个native方法,看不到源码没有关系,参数名字ClearInterrupted已经清楚的表达了该参数的作用----是否清除中断状态。方法的注释也清晰的表达了“中断状态将会根据传入的ClearInterrupted参数值确定是否重置”。所以,静态方法interrupted将会清除中断状态(传入的参数ClearInterrupted为true),而实例方法isInterrupted则不会(传入的参数ClearInterrupted为false)。

回到刚刚的问题:很明显,如果要isInterrupted这个方法返回true,通过在调用isInterrupted方法之前再次调用interrupt()方法来恢复这个中断的状态即可:

public class Interrupt  {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Thread t = new Thread(new Worker());
        t.start();
        
        Thread.sleep(200);
        t.interrupt();
        
        System.out.println("Main thread stopped.");
    }
    
    public static class Worker implements Runnable {
        public void run() {
            System.out.println("Worker started.");
            
            try {
                Thread.sleep(500);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                Thread curr = Thread.currentThread();
                //再次调用interrupt方法中断自己,将中断状态设置为“中断”
                curr.interrupt();
                System.out.println("Worker IsInterrupted: " + curr.isInterrupted());
                System.out.println("Worker IsInterrupted: " + curr.isInterrupted());
                System.out.println("Static Call: " + Thread.interrupted());//clear status
                System.out.println("---------After Interrupt Status Cleared----------");
                System.out.println("Static Call: " + Thread.interrupted());
                System.out.println("Worker IsInterrupted: " + curr.isInterrupted());
                System.out.println("Worker IsInterrupted: " + curr.isInterrupted());
            }
                System.out.println("Worker stopped.");
        }
    }
}

执行结果:

Worker started.
Main thread stopped.
Worker IsInterrupted: true
Worker IsInterrupted: true
Static Call: true
---------After Interrupt Status Cleared----------
Static Call: false
Worker IsInterrupted: false
Worker IsInterrupted: false
Worker stopped.

从执行结果也可以看到,前两次调用isInterrupted方法都返回true,说明isInterrupted方法不会改变线程的中断状态,而接下来调用静态的interrupted()方法,第一次返回了true,表示线程被中断,第二次则返回了false,因为第一次调用的时候已经清除了中断状态。最后两次调用isInterrupted()方法就肯定返回false了。

那么,在什么场景下,我们需要在catch块里面中断线程(重置中断状态)呢?

答案是:如果不能抛出InterruptedException(就像这里的Thread.sleep语句放在了Runnable的run方法中,这个方法不允许抛出任何受检查的异常),但又想告诉上层调用者这里发生了中断的时候,就只能在catch里面重置中断状态了。

以下内容来自:Dealing with InterruptedException

If you catch InterruptedException but cannot rethrow it, you should preserve evidence that the interruption occurred so that code higher up on the call stack can learn of the interruption and respond to it if it wants to. This task is accomplished by calling interrupt() to "reinterrupt" the current thread, as shown in Listing 3.

Listing 3: Restoring the interrupted status after catching InterruptedException

public class TaskRunner implements Runnable {
    private BlockingQueue queue;
 
    public TaskRunner(BlockingQueue queue) { 
        this.queue = queue; 
    }
 
    public void run() { 
        try {
             while (true) {
                 Task task = queue.take(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
                 task.execute();
             }
         } catch (InterruptedException e) { 
             // Restore the interrupted status
             Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
         }
    }
}

那么问题来了:为什么要在抛出InterruptedException的时候清除掉中断状态呢?

这个问题没有找到官方的解释,估计只有Java设计者们才能回答了。但这里的解释似乎比较合理:一个中断应该只被处理一次(你catch了这个InterruptedException,说明你能处理这个异常,你不希望上层调用者看到这个中断)。

对于这个问题,如果有更好的解释,欢迎留言讨论。若有侵权,联系删除。谢谢。
