在Java中，守护线程是一种不阻止Java虚拟机(JVM)退出的线程类型。 守护线程的主要目的是执行后台任务，特别是一些例行的周期性任务或工作。JVM退出时，守护进程线程也会死亡。

通过设置thread. setdaemon (true)，线程变成守护线程。但是，您只能在线程启动之前设置这个值。

守护线程

在后台运行的线程称为守护线程。

Daemon线程示例:

垃圾收集器。 信号分配器。

守护线程的目标:

守护进程线程的主要目标是为非守护进程线程提供支持。

有关守护线程的其他信息:

通常，守护线程在MIN_PRIORITY中运行，但是，也可以使用MAX_PRIORITY运行守护线程。 示例:当需要额外的内存时，GC通常以MIN_PRIORITY优先级运行。JVM将GC的优先级从MIN_PRIORITY增加到MAX_PRIORITY。

一旦线程已经启动，就不能将其从守护线程更改为非守护线程，这会导致IllegalThreadStateException异常。 例子: public static void main(String[] args) { Thread.currentThread () .setDaemon(真正的); ｝ 输出: java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException线程异常 在java.base / java.lang.Thread.setDaemon (Thread.java: 1403)

If we are branching off a thread, the child thread inherits the nature of the parent thread. If the parent thread is a non-daemon thread automatically the child thread will be non-daemon as well and if the parent thread is a daemon, the child thread will be a daemon as well. class Scratch { public static void main(String[] args) { CustomThread customThread = new CustomThread(); customThread.start(); } } class CustomThread extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { System.out.println(currentThread().isDaemon()); } } Output: false

When the last non-daemon thread terminates, all the daemon threads get terminated automatically. class Scratch { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Main Thread Started."); CustomThread customThread = new CustomThread(); customThread.setDaemon(true); customThread.start(); System.out.println("Main Thread Finished."); } } class CustomThread extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { System.out.println("Custom Thread Started."); try { sleep(2000); } catch (InterruptedException ignore) {} System.out.println("Custom Thread Finished."); //Won't get executed. } } Output: Main Thread Started. Main Thread Finished. Custom Thread Started.

守护进程： d（isk） a（nd） e（xecution） mon（itor） or or from de（vice） mon（itor）

Daemon(计算)的定义:

处理打印假脱机和文件传输等服务请求的后台进程，在不需要时处于休眠状态。

Java中的守护线程是什么?

Daemon threads can shut down any time in between their flow, Non-Daemon i.e. user thread executes completely. Daemon threads are threads that run intermittently in the background as long as other non-daemon threads are running. When all of the non-daemon threads complete, daemon threads terminates automatically. Daemon threads are service providers for user threads running in the same process. The JVM does not care about daemon threads to complete when in Running state, not even finally block also let execute. JVM do give preference to non-daemon threads that is created by us. Daemon threads acts as services in Windows. The JVM stops the daemon threads when all user threads (in contrast to the daemon threads) are terminated. Hence daemon threads can be used to implement, for example, a monitoring functionality as the thread is stopped by the JVM as soon as all user threads have stopped.

传统上，UNIX中的守护进程是那些不断在后台运行的进程，就像Windows中的服务一样。

Java中的守护线程是不阻止JVM退出的线程。特别是当只剩下守护线程时，JVM将退出。您可以通过调用线程上的setDaemon()方法来创建一个。

我想澄清一个误解:

Assume that if daemon thread (say B) is created within user thread (say A); then ending of this user thread/parent thread (A) will not end the daemon thread/child thread (B) it has created; provided user thread is the only one currently running. So there is no parent-child relationship on thread ending. All daemon threads (irrespective of where it is created) will end once there is no single live user thread and that causes JVM to terminate. Even this is true for both (parent/child) are daemon threads. If a child thread created from a daemon thread then that is also a daemon thread. This won't need any explicit daemon thread flag setting. Similarly if a child thread created from a user thread then that is also a user thread, if you want to change it, then explicit daemon flag setting is needed before start of that child thread.
