[java] java 线程join方法详解

join方法的作用是使所属线程对象正常执行run方法，而对当前线程无限期阻塞，直到所属线程销毁后再执行当前线程的逻辑。

一、先看普通的无join方法
NoJoin.java

public class NoJoin  extends  Thread{
    @Override
    public void run() {

        try {
            long count = (long)(Math.random()*100);
            System.out.println(count);
            Thread.sleep(count);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

public class NoJoinTest {

    public static  void main(String[] args){

        NoJoin noJoin = new NoJoin();
        noJoin.start();
        System.out.println("执行到main....");
    }
}

输出：

现在要先输出时间，再执行main方法。

只需要添加join方法即可。

public class JoinTest {

    public static  void main(String[] args){

        try {
            NoJoin noJoin = new NoJoin();
            noJoin.start();
            noJoin.join();//join
            System.out.println("执行到main....");
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}

查看join源代码：

 /**
     * Waits at most {@code millis} milliseconds for this thread to
     * die. A timeout of {@code 0} means to wait forever.
     *
     * <p> This implementation uses a loop of {@code this.wait} calls
     * conditioned on {@code this.isAlive}. As a thread terminates the
     * {@code this.notifyAll} method is invoked. It is recommended that
     * applications not use {@code wait}, {@code notify}, or
     * {@code notifyAll} on {@code Thread} instances.
     *
     * @param  millis
     *         the time to wait in milliseconds
     *
     * @throws  IllegalArgumentException
     *          if the value of {@code millis} is negative
     *
     * @throws  InterruptedException
     *          if any thread has interrupted the current thread. The
     *          <i>interrupted status</i> of the current thread is
     *          cleared when this exception is thrown.
     */
    public final synchronized void join(long millis)
    throws InterruptedException {
        long base = System.currentTimeMillis();
        long now = 0;

        if (millis < 0) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("timeout value is negative");
        }

        if (millis == 0) {
            while (isAlive()) {
                wait(0);
            }
        } else {
            while (isAlive()) {
                long delay = millis - now;
                if (delay <= 0) {
                    break;
                }
                wait(delay);
                now = System.currentTimeMillis() - base;
            }
        }
    }

可见，join内部是对象的wait方法，当执行wait(mils)方法时，一定时间会自动释放对象锁。
