一、Thread类中的静态方法
Thread类中的静态方法是通过Thread.方法名来调用的，那么问题来了，这个Thread指的是哪个Thread，是所在位置对应的那个Thread嘛？通过下面的例子可以知道，Thread类中的静态方法所操作的线程是“正在执行该静态方法的线程”，不一定是其所在位置的线程。为什么Thread类中要有静态方法，这样就能对CPU当前正在运行的线程进行操作。下面来看一下Thread类中的静态方法：
1、currentThread()
/** * Returns a reference to the currently executing thread object. * * @return the currently executing thread. */ public static native Thread currentThread();
currentThread()方法返回的是对当前正在执行的线程对象的引用。
举例：
public class Thread01 extends Thread{ static{ System.out.println("静态代码块的打印：" + Thread.currentThread().getName()); } public Thread01(){ System.out.println("构造函数的打印：" +Thread.currentThread().getName()); } @Override public void run() { System.out.println("run方法的打印：" + Thread.currentThread().getName()); }} public class Test { public static void main(String[] args){ Thread01 thread01 = new Thread01(); thread01.start(); }} 结果：
静态代码块的打印：main构造函数的打印：mainrun方法的打印：Thread-0
可以看到，Thread01类中的三个相同的静态方法Thread.currentThread()所操作的不是同一个线程，虽然写在了Thread01内，但是静态代码块和构造函数中的静态方法是随着main线程而被调用的，run方法中的静态方法则是thread01线程调用的。把thread01.start()注释掉
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args){ Thread01 thread01 = new Thread01();// thread01.start(); }} 结果：
静态代码块的打印：main构造函数的打印：main
因为Thread01中的静态代码块和构造方法都是在main线程中被调用的，而run方法是thread01这个线程调用的，所以不一样。
举例说明上篇说的"this.XXX()"和"Thread.currentThread().XXX()"的区别，this表示的线程是线程实例本身，后一种表示的线程是正在执行"Thread.currentThread.XXX()这块代码的线程"
public class Thread01 extends Thread{ public Thread01(){ System.out.println("构造函数中通过this调用：" + this.getName()); System.out.println("构造函数中通过静态方法调用：" + Thread.currentThread().getName()); } @Override public void run() { System.out.println("run方法中通过this调用：" + this.getName()); System.out.println("run方法中通过静态方法调用：" + Thread.currentThread().getName()); }} public class Test { public static void main(String[] args){ Thread01 thread01 = new Thread01(); thread01.start(); }} 结果：
构造函数中通过this调用：Thread-0构造函数中通过静态方法调用：mainrun方法中通过this调用：Thread-0run方法中通过静态方法调用：Thread-0
同样的，把thread01.start()这一行注释掉以后
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args){ Thread01 thread01 = new Thread01();// thread01.start(); }} 结果：
构造函数中通过this调用：Thread-0构造函数中通过静态方法调用：main
所以，在Thread01里面通过Thread.currentThread得到的线程对象的引用不一定就是Thread01，要看该方法所在的代码会被哪个线程调用。
2、sleep(long millis)
/** * Causes the currently executing thread to sleep (temporarily cease * execution) for the specified number of milliseconds, subject to * the precision and accuracy of system timers and schedulers. The thread * does not lose ownership of any monitors. * * @param millis * the length of time to sleep in milliseconds * * @throws IllegalArgumentException * if the value of { @code millis} is negative * * @throws InterruptedException * if any thread has interrupted the current thread. The * interrupted status of the current thread is * cleared when this exception is thrown. */ public static native void sleep(long millis) throws InterruptedException; sleep(long millis)方法的作用是在指定的毫秒内让当前"正在执行的线程"休眠（暂停执行）。这个"正在执行的线程"是关键，指的是Thread.currentThread()返回的线程。根据JDK API的说法，"该线程不丢失任何监视器的所属权"，简单说就是sleep代码上下文如果被加锁了，锁依然在，但是CPU资源会让出给其他线程。
举例：
public class Thread01 extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { try { System.out.println("run threadName：" + this.getName()); System.out.println("调用Thread.sleep方法休眠3秒"); Thread.sleep(3000); System.out.println("run threadName：" + Thread.currentThread().getName()); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }} public class Test { public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.println("main 开始===" + System.currentTimeMillis()); Thread01 thread01 = new Thread01(); thread01.start(); System.out.println("main 结束=====" + System.currentTimeMillis()); }} 结果：
main 开始===1552401515206main 结束=====1552401515208run threadName：Thread-0调用Thread.sleep方法休眠3秒run threadName：Thread-0
3、yield()
/** * A hint to the scheduler that the current thread is willing to yield * its current use of a processor. The scheduler is free to ignore this * hint. * *Yield is a heuristic attempt to improve relative progression * between threads that would otherwise over-utilise a CPU. Its use * should be combined with detailed profiling and benchmarking to * ensure that it actually has the desired effect. * *
It is rarely appropriate to use this method. It may be useful * for debugging or testing purposes, where it may help to reproduce * bugs due to race conditions. It may also be useful when designing * concurrency control constructs such as the ones in the * {
@link java.util.concurrent.locks} package. */ public static native void yield();
暂停当前执行的线程，并执行其他的线程。这个暂停是会放弃CPU资源的，并且放弃CPU的时间不确定，有可能刚放弃，就获得CPU资源了，也有可能放弃好一会儿，才会被CPU执行。
举例说明yield()放弃CPU的时间是不一定的，用户无法指定
public class Thread01 extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { for(int i = 1; i <= 500; i++) { long beginTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); Thread.yield(); long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); System.out.println(" 第" + i + "次yield 的时长为：" + (endTime - beginTime) + "ms"); System.out.println("i = " + i); } }} public class Thread02 extends Thread{ @Override public void run() { for(int i = 0; i < 500000; i++) { List list = new ArrayList<>(); list.add(i); } }} public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Thread01 thread01 = new Thread01(); thread01.start(); //根据Thread02多开几个线程 Thread02 thread02 = new Thread02(); thread02.start(); Thread02 thread021 = new Thread02(); thread021.start(); Thread02 thread022 = new Thread02(); thread022.start(); Thread02 thread023 = new Thread02(); thread023.start(); Thread02 thread024 = new Thread02(); thread024.start(); }} 结果：
..............................................................................i = 48 第48次yield 的时长为：0msi = 49 第49次yield 的时长为：0msi = 50 第50次yield 的时长为：1msi = 51 第51次yield 的时长为：0msi = 52 第52次yield 的时长为：4msi = 53 第53次yield 的时长为：0msi = 54 第54次yield 的时长为：0ms..............................................................................i = 442 第442次yield 的时长为：0msi = 443 第443次yield 的时长为：0msi = 444 第444次yield 的时长为：1msi = 445 第445次yield 的时长为：0msi = 446 第446次yield 的时长为：0ms..............................................................................
可以看到，yield()方法放弃CPU的时间是不确定的，可能立马就被CPU执行，也可能要等待一会再被CPU执行。
4、interrupted()
/** * Tests whether the current thread has been interrupted. The * interrupted status of the thread is cleared by this method. In * other words, if this method were to be called twice in succession, the * second call would return false (unless the current thread were * interrupted again, after the first call had cleared its interrupted * status and before the second call had examined it). * *A thread interruption ignored because a thread was not alive * at the time of the interrupt will be reflected by this method * returning false. * * @return
trueif the current thread has been interrupted; *falseotherwise. * @see #isInterrupted() * @revised 6.0 */ public static boolean interrupted() { return currentThread().isInterrupted(true); }
测试当前线程是否处于中断状态，调用该方法，线程中断状态的标识被清除（置为false），也就是说，如果这个方法被连续调用两次，第二次一定会返回false
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Thread.currentThread().interrupt(); System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + "线程是否被中断？" + Thread.interrupted()); System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + "线程是否被中断？" + Thread.interrupted()); }} 结果：
main线程是否被中断？truemain线程是否被中断？false
当然，这也涉及Java的中断机制，留在后面的一篇文章专门讲解。
