##start方法
public synchronized void start() {
/**
* This method is not invoked for the main method thread or "system"
* group threads created/set up by the VM. Any new functionality added
* to this method in the future may have to also be added to the VM.
*==
==* A zero status value corresponds to state "NEW".
*/
if (threadStatus != 0)
throw new IllegalThreadStateException();
/* Notify the group that this thread is about to be started
* so that it can be added to the group's list of threads
* and the group's unstarted count can be decremented. */
group.add(this);
boolean started = false;
try {
start0();
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 */
}
}
}
这一个是Thread中start()方法的源码，我们由源码可以看出，当Thread执行NEW方法时，threadstatus变为0，否则将会报IllegalThreadStateException错误，可以得出Thread不能start()两次及以上，否则同样会出现IllegalThreadStateException
至于start0()这个方法，是一个native,我们后续在研究（毕竟没啥基础，大家见谅，我们一步一步的来）。
Thread的构造函数
Thread的构造函数一共有9个，下面我们来看一下源码：
public Thread() {
init(null, null, "Thread-" + nextThreadNum(), 0);
}
/**
* Allocates a new {@code Thread} object. This constructor has the same
* effect as {@linkplain #Thread(ThreadGroup,Runnable,String) Thread}
* {@code (null, target, gname)}, where {@code gname} is a newly generated
* name. Automatically generated names are of the form
* {@code "Thread-"+}<i>n</i>, where <i>n</i> is an integer.
*
* @param target
* the object whose {@code run} method is invoked when this thread
* is started. If {@code null}, this classes {@code run} method does
* nothing.

public Thread(Runnable target) {
init(null, target, "Thread-" + nextThreadNum(), 0);
}

* This is not a public constructor.

* permission when invoked directly or indirectly by the constructor
* of a subclass which overrides the {@code getContextClassLoader}
* or {@code setContextClassLoader} methods.
*
* <p>The priority of the newly created thread is set equal to the
* priority of the thread creating it, that is, the currently running
