多次启动一个线程会是怎么样呢,我们看看源码是怎么说的

/**
     * It is never legal to start a thread more than once.
     * In particular, a thread may not be restarted once it has completed execution.
     启动一个线程不止一次是不合法的。特别是,线程一旦完成执行就不能重新启动
     * @exception  IllegalThreadStateException  if the thread was already started.
     */
    public synchronized void start() {
        /**
         * A zero status value corresponds to state "NEW"
         * 0的状态表示新建(new)
         */
        if (threadStatus != 0)
            throw new IllegalThreadStateException();

        group.add(this);

        boolean started = false;
        try {
            start0();//这是一个本地方法
            started = true;
        } finally {
            try {
                if (!started) {
                    group.threadStartFailed(this);
                }
            } catch (Throwable ignore) {
                /* do nothing. If start0 threw a Throwable then it will be passed up the call stack */
            }
        }
    }

我们可以看到,如果线程一旦被启动,如果再次启动,会报IllegalThreadStateException(不合法的线程状态异常)
