threadpriority
Thread priority is a value associated with a thread that expresses its relative importance to the scheduler. In a preemptive multitasking system, the scheduler uses priorities as a hint to select which runnable thread to run next. Higher-priority threads are generally preferred over lower-priority ones, but the exact behavior depends on the OS and scheduling policy. Priority does not guarantee execution order and can be affected by synchronization, I/O operations, and fairness constraints. In many systems, priorities are dynamic or can be changed at runtime by the program or the OS.
Platform specifics vary. Windows platforms define thread priority through priority classes and thread priority levels, and
Common issues include priority inversion, where a low-priority thread holds a resource needed by a higher-priority
Best practices emphasize using thread priorities sparingly and designing concurrency to rely on synchronization and coordination
