将类继承Runnable,创建Thread,然后调用Thread的start方法启动:
package myTest;
public class myTest implements Runnable {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
myTest test = new myTest();
Thread thread = new Thread(test);
System.out.println(thread.getState());
thread.start();
System.out.println(thread.getState());
thread.sleep(1000);
System.out.println(thread.getState());
}
public String sout() {
return "test";
}
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println(this.sout());
// System.out.println("runnning");
}
}
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 */
}
}
}
我们发现这里有一个Native关键字。Native Method就是一个java调用非java代码的接口。
一个Native Method是这样一个java的方法:该方法是一个原生态方法,方法对应的实现不是在当前文件,而是在用其他语言(如C和C++)实现的文件中。
private native void start0();
这是一个c++函数,几乎包含在thread类中的所有操作。

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Java_java_lang_Thread_registerNatives(JNIEnv *env, jclass cls)
{
(*env)->RegisterNatives(env, cls, methods, ARRAY_LENGTH(methods));
}
发现它被一个叫做JVM_ENTRY给调用
JVM_ENTRY(void, JVM_StartThread(JNIEnv* env, jobject jthread))
JVMWrapper("JVM_StartThread");
JavaThread *native_thread = NULL;
bool throw_illegal_thread_state = false;
// We must release the Threads_lock before we can post a jvmti event
// in Thread::start.
{
MutexLocker mu(Threads_lock);
if (java_lang_Thread::thread(JNIHandles::resolve_non_null(jthread)) != NULL) {
throw_illegal_thread_state = true;
} else {
jlong size =
java_lang_Thread::stackSize(JNIHandles::resolve_non_null(jthread));
size_t sz = size > 0 ? (size_t) size : 0;
native_thread = new JavaThread(&thread_entry, sz);
if (native_thread->osthread() != NULL) {
// Note: the current thread is not being used within "prepare".
native_thread->prepare(jthread);
}
}
}
if (throw_illegal_thread_state) {
THROW(vmSymbols::java_lang_IllegalThreadStateException());
}
Thread::start(native_thread);
JVM_END
其中有一行
native_thread = new JavaThread(&thread_entry, sz);
有native_thread,那这个JavaThread将一个thread_entry这个指针放入了构造函数中:
static void thread_entry(JavaThread* thread, TRAPS) {
HandleMark hm(THREAD);
Handle obj(THREAD, thread->threadObj());
JavaValue result(T_VOID);
JavaCalls::call_virtual(&result,obj,
KlassHandle(THREAD,SystemDictionary::Thread_klass()),
vmSymbolHandles::run_method_name(),
vmSymbolHandles::void_method_signature(),THREAD);
}
这个vmSymbolHandles::run_method_name(),调用了run的方法:
template(run_method_name,"run")
成功的调用了run方法。所以,thread类在jvm的实现,cpp里面:
@Override
public void run()
{
if (target != null)
{ target.run(); }
}
这里有一个target,通过它来判断,而这个target又在哪里?
private Runnable target;
target在thread这个类中是被runnable所定义:
public interface Runnable {
/**
* When an object implementing interface Runnable
is used
* to create a thread, starting the thread causes the object's
* run
method to be called in that separately executing
* thread.
*
* The general contract of the method run
is that it may
* take any action whatsoever.
*
* @see java.lang.Thread#run()
*/
public abstract void run();
}
它们之间的联系,从start到start0,再到native,再到jvm,再到cpp,其中的一个宏对象调用了run方法。
