I have the following code:
=============== =====
public class Test
{
Thread thread;
ThreadStart threadStart;
int i;
public void Run()
{
threadStart = new ThreadStart(Wor k);
thread = new Thread(threadSt art);
thread.Name = "" +(i++ );
thread.Start();
}
public void Work()
{
int i = 0;
while (i < 10)
{
Thread.Sleep(20 0);
Console.WriteLi ne(Thread.Curre ntThread.Name);
}
}
}
void main(string[] args)
{
Test test = new Test();
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
test.Run();
}
}
=============== =======
My question is, each time Run() is called a new thread seems to be
started. Can anyone shed light onto why any existing thread running
for the "thread" member variable isn't aborted? Or does it just
restart "thread"? The thread.Name is different each time though. 5 1475
Becase you are asking it to... creating a new thread and changing the
"thread" reference doesn't affect the existing thread in the least -
it is still there, running happily. Threads are top-level objects as
far as the GC is concerned; a running thread will not be collected.
The fact that you have (or haven't) got a convenient reference to this
Thread instance is irrelevant. It wouldn't even matter if "thread" was
a method-variable and didn't exist outside of Run(), and it wouldn't
matter if we set "thread = null:" after calling Start().
There are several ways of interrupting a running thread, but the best
approaches tend to involve something graceful like a (volatile) flag
somewhere; things like Suspend() and Abort() have many associated
risks.
So what does the CLR do with the previous "thread" member variables?
Is it an issue creating new thread like this, instead of a new local
(to the method) one, or using a ThreadPool?

There's only one variable involved, and its value is changed, just like
any other variable.

There's no such thing as a "local" thread. Whether you should use the
thread pool or not depends on the circumstances.

You are creating a thread, but you know that.
I think that you were expectig that as your code do not hld any
reference to the previous thread it will be recicled (or aborted). The
answer is that the thread will exist as long as it's running. Which
makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Some class in the
framework (the scheduler?) will hold a reference to it.

When the thread ends the variables are collected in the usual way.
It works any way, IIRC creating a new thread is more costly than using
one of the thread in the pool. but I have no idea how much though. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

In a Windows Forms application I plan to have a collection of structs - each
of which contains a bunch of properties describing a person (e.g., LastName,

contained in the collection.
Users must be able to search for a specific person by any of the properties

As I receive data in 1 thread, I put it into an arraylist, and then I remove

Before adding data to the arraylist, I check if the depth of the arraylist

Is it possible that while I am clearing the arraylist, the ThreadMain at the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
