When do threads die

First thread Stopped. Exiting the main Thread Note: The output may vary every time. By using a flag we can stop a thread whenever we want to and we can prevent unwanted run-time errors.

Using a volatile boolean flag: We can also use a volatile boolean flag to make our code thread safe. A volatile variable is directly stored in the main memory so that threads cannot have locally cached values of it. A situation may arise when more than one threads are accessing the same variable and the changes made by one might not be visible to other threads.

In such a situation, we can use a volatile boolean flag. Note: The above code runs into an infinite loop and will give run-time error. The output above shows that the inside thread is never stopped. This is so because the inside thread locally caches the value of exit. To prevent this from happening we can use a volatile variable.

Explanation: Say i have a Thread "Parent" in it i am starting another two threads say "child1" and "child2" then both childs are still in running phase and Parent Thread dies. All kinds of Suggestions and Replies are warmly welcomed. Steve Luke. I like Hi Amir, All Threads are 'unrelated', there are no parent and child threads.

So once the 'parent' thread kicks off 'child1' and 'child2', then the three threads are independent. They can end in any order and they don't affect the running of other threads. Which means 'parent' can die before 'child1' and 'child2'. There are some modifications to this.

Threading dies may either be held securely for manual threading operations in a purpose made handle or in the chuck of a powered thread cutter. Thread cutting dies are always used with a special cutting compound that lubricates the die and helps remove swarf. Threads cut onto the outside surfaces of pipes and solid rods are typically made manually or with a special power tool using a hardened tool steel threading die. A typical thread cutting die is circular with a cutting edge equipped hollow center.

The cutting edges are usually interrupted at regular intervals by cut-outs which reduce the bearing surface of the cutting edges, thus easing the stress placed on the die and aiding in chip removal. Threads die in the following situations: When the method it runs finishes or throws When the process is terminated When the computer is turned off or reset.
