终止worker执行的方法
1、该示例创建一个名为 Worker 的类,该类包含辅助线程将执行的方法 DoWork。这实际上是辅助线程的 Main 函数。辅助线程将通过调用此方法来开始执行,并在此方法返回时自动终止。
public void DoWork()
{
while (!_shouldStop)
{
Console.WriteLine("worker thread: working...");
}
Console.WriteLine("worker thread: terminating gracefully.");
}
2、Worker 类包含另一个方法,该方法用于通知 DoWork 它应当返回。此方法名为 RequestStop,如下所示:
public void RequestStop()
{
_shouldStop = true;
}
3、RequestStop 方法只是将 true 赋给 _shouldStop 数据成员。由于此数据成员由 DoWork 方法来检查,因此这会间接导致 DoWork 返回,从而终止辅助线程。但是,您应当注意:DoWork 和 RequestStop 将由不同线程执行。DoWork 由辅助线程执行,而 RequestStop 由主线程执行,因此 _shouldStop 数据成员声明为 volatile,如下所示:
private volatile bool _shouldStop;
4、此时,只有执行 Main 的主线程还存在。它会显示一条最终消息,然后返回,从而使主线程也终止。
下面是完整的示例。
using System;
using System.Threading;
public class Worker
{
// This method will be called when the thread is started.
public void DoWork()
{
while (!_shouldStop)
{
Console.WriteLine("worker thread: working...");
}
Console.WriteLine("worker thread: terminating gracefully.");
}
public void RequestStop()
{
_shouldStop = true;
}
// Volatile is used as hint to the compiler that this data
// member will be accessed by multiple threads.
private volatile bool _shouldStop;
}
public class WorkerThreadExample
{
static void Main()
{
// Create the thread object. This does not start the thread.
Worker workerObject = new Worker();
Thread workerThread = new Thread(workerObject.DoWork);
// Start the worker thread.
workerThread.Start();
Console.WriteLine("main thread: Starting worker thread...");
// Loop until worker thread activates.
while (!workerThread.IsAlive);
// Put the main thread to sleep for 1 millisecond to
// allow the worker thread to do some work:
Thread.Sleep(1);
// Request that the worker thread stop itself:
workerObject.RequestStop();
// Use the Join method to block the current thread
// until the object's thread terminates.
workerThread.Join();
Console.WriteLine("main thread: Worker thread has terminated.");
}
}
5、输出如下:
main thread: starting worker thread...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: working...
worker thread: terminating gracefully...
main thread: worker thread has terminated
