以下简单的Java代码:
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { System.out.println("Start"); Thread.sleep(5000); System.out.println("Done"); } }
使用14个线程运行。我知道在后台运行一些GC线程,但是其他线程又有什么用?为什么会有这么多线程?我在使用Java 1.6.0_26的Gentoo Linux上。使用Eclipse的编译器或javac进行编译没有任何区别(在Eclipse的调试模式下运行它会增加3个线程,但这可能是合理的)。
默认情况下,我的JVM(1.6.0_26)产生更多线程。大多数都具有漂亮的描述性名称,以暗示其目的:

显然,大多数线程与内存处理有关:有8个垃圾收集器线程,外加低内存检测器。Finalizer和Reference Handler听起来像他们也参与了内存管理。
Finalizer
Reference Handler
C2 CompilerThread0/1 几乎可以肯定,它与即时编译有关。
C2 CompilerThread0/1
至于其余线程的确切目的,我不确定。
