== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
The `Thread` class has some methods that are used to monitor and manage its execution.
|
|
With the introduction of virtual threads in Java 21, there are three of these methods that behave differently
|
|
between the standard platform threads and the virtual ones.
|
|
|
|
For virtual threads:
|
|
|
|
* `Thread.setDaemon(boolean)` will throw an `IllegalArgumentException` if `false` is passed as an argument as a virtual thread daemon status is always true.
|
|
* `Thread.setPriority(int priority)` will never change the actual priority of a virtual thread, which is always equal to `Thread.NORM_PRIORITY`
|
|
* `Thread.getThreadGroup()` will return a dummy "VirtualThreads" group that is empty and should not be used
|
|
|
|
This rule reports an issue when one of these methods is invoked on a virtual thread.

==== Noncompliant code example

|
[source,java]
|
|
----
|
|
Thread t = Thread.ofVirtual().unstarted(()->{/* some task */});
|
|
t.setPriority(1); // Noncompliant; virtual threads' priority cannot be changed
|
|
t.setDaemon(false); // Noncompliant; will throw IllegalArgumentException
|
|
t.setDaemon(true); // Noncompliant; redundant
|
|
t.start();
|
|
var threadGroup = t.getThreadGroup(); // Noncompliant; virtual thread groups should not be used
