概述
Dispatch Source
是BSD
系统内核惯有功能kqueue
的包装,kqueue
是在XNU内核中发生各种事件时,在应用程序编程方执行处理的技术。它的CPU负荷非常小,尽量不占用资源。当事件发生时,Dispatch Source
会在指定的Dispatch Queue
中执行事件的处理。
使用篇
dispatch_source
最常见的用法就是用来实现定时器,代码如下:
dispatch_source_t source = dispatch_source_create(DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_TIMER, 0, 0, dispatch_get_main_queue());
dispatch_source_set_timer(source, dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 0), 3 * NSEC_PER_SEC, 0);
dispatch_source_set_event_handler(source, ^{
//定时器触发时执行
NSLog(@"timer响应了");
});
//启动timer
dispatch_resume(source);
Dispatch Source
定时器的代码看似很简单,但其实是GCD中坑最多的API了,如果处理不好很容易引起Crash。关于Dispatch Source
定时器需要注意的知识点请参考文章最后的总结篇。
原理篇
dispatch_source_create
dispatch_source_create
函数用来创建dispatch_source_t对象,简化后的代码如下:
dispatch_source_t dispatch_source_create(dispatch_source_type_t type,
uintptr_t handle,
unsigned long mask,
dispatch_queue_t q) {
//申请内存空间
ds = _dispatch_alloc(DISPATCH_VTABLE(source),
sizeof(struct dispatch_source_s));
//初始化ds
_dispatch_queue_init((dispatch_queue_t)ds);
ds->dq_label = "source";
ds->do_ref_cnt++; // the reference the manager queue holds
ds->do_ref_cnt++; // since source is created suspended
//默认处于暂状态,需要手动调用resume
ds->do_suspend_cnt = DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_INTERVAL;
ds->do_targetq = &_dispatch_mgr_q;
// First item on the queue sets the user-specified target queue
//设置事件回调的队列
dispatch_set_target_queue(ds, q);
_dispatch_object_debug(ds, "%s", __func__);
return ds;
}
dispatch_source_set_timer
dispatch_source_set_timer
实际上调用了_dispatch_source_set_timer
,看一下代码:
static inline void _dispatch_source_set_timer(dispatch_source_t ds, dispatch_time_t start,
uint64_t interval, uint64_t leeway, bool source_sync) {
//首先屏蔽非timer类型的source
if (slowpath(!ds->ds_is_timer) ||
slowpath(ds_timer(ds->ds_refs).flags & DISPATCH_TIMER_INTERVAL)) {
DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH("Attempt to set timer on a non-timer source");
}
//创建dispatch_set_timer_params结构体绑定source和timer参数
struct dispatch_set_timer_params *params;
params = _dispatch_source_timer_params(ds, start, interval, leeway);
_dispatch_source_timer_telemetry(ds, params->ident, ¶ms->values);
dispatch_retain(ds);
if (source_sync) {
//将source当做队列使用,执行dispatch_barrier_async_f压入队列,
//核心函数为_dispatch_source_set_timer2
return _dispatch_barrier_trysync_f((dispatch_queue_t)ds, params,
_dispatch_source_set_timer2);
} else {
return _dispatch_source_set_timer2(params);
}
}
_dispatch_source_set_timer
实际上是调用了_dispatch_source_set_timer2
函数:
static void _dispatch_source_set_timer2(void *context) {
// Called on the source queue
struct dispatch_set_timer_params *params = context;
//暂停队列,避免修改过程中定时器被触发了。
dispatch_suspend(params->ds);
//在_dispatch_mgr_q队列上执行_dispatch_source_set_timer3(params)
dispatch_barrier_async_f(&_dispatch_mgr_q, params,
_dispatch_source_set_timer3);
}
_dispatch_source_set_timer2
函数的逻辑是在_dispatch_mgr_q
队列执行_dispatch_source_set_timer3(params)
,接下来的逻辑如下:
static void _dispatch_source_set_timer3(void *context) {
// Called on the _dispatch_mgr_q
struct dispatch_set_timer_params *params = context;
dispatch_source_t ds = params->ds;
ds->ds_ident_hack = params->ident;
ds_timer(ds->ds_refs) = params->values;
ds->ds_pending_data = 0;
(void)dispatch_atomic_or2o(ds, ds_atomic_flags, DSF_ARMED, release);
//恢复队列,对应着_dispatch_source_set_timer2函数中的dispatch_suspend
dispatch_resume(ds);
// Must happen after resume to avoid getting disarmed due to suspension
//根据下一次触发时间将timer进行排序
_dispatch_timers_update(ds);
dispatch_release(ds);
if (params->values.flags & DISPATCH_TIMER_WALL_CLOCK) {
_dispatch_mach_host_calendar_change_register();
}
free(params);
}
当执行提交到_dispatch_mgr_q
队列的block时,会调用&_dispatch_mgr_q->do_invoke函数,即&_dispatch_mgr_q的vtable中定义的_dispatch_mgr_thread。接下来会走到_dispatch_mgr_invoke函数。在这个函数里用I/O多路复用功能的select来实现定时器功能:
r = select(FD_SETSIZE, &tmp_rfds, &tmp_wfds, NULL,
poll ? (struct timeval*)&timeout_immediately : NULL);
当内层的 _dispatch_mgr_q
队列被唤醒后,还会进一步唤醒外层的队列(当初用户指定的那个),并在指定队列上执行 timer 触发时的 block。
dispatch_source_set_event_handler
void dispatch_source_set_event_handler(dispatch_source_t ds,
dispatch_block_t handler) {
//将block进行copy后压入到队列中
handler = _dispatch_Block_copy(handler);
_dispatch_barrier_trysync_f((dispatch_queue_t)ds, handler,
_dispatch_source_set_event_handler2);
}
static void _dispatch_source_set_event_handler2(void *context) {
dispatch_source_t ds = (dispatch_source_t)_dispatch_queue_get_current();
dispatch_assert(dx_type(ds) == DISPATCH_SOURCE_KEVENT_TYPE);
dispatch_source_refs_t dr = ds->ds_refs;
if (ds->ds_handler_is_block && dr->ds_handler_ctxt) {
Block_release(dr->ds_handler_ctxt);
}
//设置上下文,保存提交的block等信息
dr->ds_handler_func = context ? _dispatch_Block_invoke(context) : NULL;
dr->ds_handler_ctxt = context;
ds->ds_handler_is_block = true;
}
dispatch_source_set_cancel_handler
dispatch_source_set_cancel_handler
与dispatch_source_set_event_handler
功能类似,保存一下取消事件处理的上下文信息。代码如下:
void dispatch_source_set_cancel_handler(dispatch_source_t ds,
dispatch_block_t handler) {
//将block进行copy后压入到队列中
handler = _dispatch_Block_copy(handler);
_dispatch_barrier_trysync_f((dispatch_queue_t)ds, handler,
_dispatch_source_set_cancel_handler2);
}
static void _dispatch_source_set_cancel_handler2(void *context) {
dispatch_source_t ds = (dispatch_source_t)_dispatch_queue_get_current();
dispatch_assert(dx_type(ds) == DISPATCH_SOURCE_KEVENT_TYPE);
dispatch_source_refs_t dr = ds->ds_refs;
if (ds->ds_cancel_is_block && dr->ds_cancel_handler) {
Block_release(dr->ds_cancel_handler);
}
//保存事件取消的信息
dr->ds_cancel_handler = context;
ds->ds_cancel_is_block = true;
}
dispatch_resume/dispatch_suspend
//恢复
void dispatch_resume(dispatch_object_t dou) {
DISPATCH_OBJECT_TFB(_dispatch_objc_resume, dou);
// Global objects cannot be suspended or resumed.
if (slowpath(dou._do->do_ref_cnt == DISPATCH_OBJECT_GLOBAL_REFCNT) ||
slowpath(dx_type(dou._do) == DISPATCH_QUEUE_ROOT_TYPE)) {
return;
}
//将do_suspend_cnt原子性减二,并返回之前存储的值
unsigned int suspend_cnt = dispatch_atomic_sub_orig2o(dou._do,
do_suspend_cnt, DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_INTERVAL, relaxed);
if (fastpath(suspend_cnt > DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_INTERVAL)) {
return _dispatch_release(dou._do);
}
if (fastpath(suspend_cnt == DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_INTERVAL)) {
_dispatch_wakeup(dou._do);
return _dispatch_release(dou._do);
}
DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH("Over-resume of an object");
}
//暂停
void dispatch_suspend(dispatch_object_t dou) {
DISPATCH_OBJECT_TFB(_dispatch_objc_suspend, dou);
if (slowpath(dou._do->do_ref_cnt == DISPATCH_OBJECT_GLOBAL_REFCNT) ||
slowpath(dx_type(dou._do) == DISPATCH_QUEUE_ROOT_TYPE)) {
return;
}
//将do_suspend_cnt原子性加二
(void)dispatch_atomic_add2o(dou._do, do_suspend_cnt,
DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_INTERVAL, relaxed);
_dispatch_retain(dou._do);
}
判断队列是否暂停的依据是do_suspend_cnt是否大于等于2,全局队列和主队列默认都是小于2的,即处于启动状态。
而dispatch_source_create方法中,do_suspend_cnt初始为DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_INTERVAL,即默认处于暂停状态,需要手动调用resume开启。
代码定义如下:
#define DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_LOCK 1u
#define DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_INTERVAL 2u
#define DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPENDED(x) \
((x)->do_suspend_cnt >= DISPATCH_OBJECT_SUSPEND_INTERVAL)
dispatch_after
dispatch_after是基于Dispatch Source的定时器实现的,函数内部直接调用dispatch_after_f,代码如下:
void dispatch_after_f(dispatch_time_t when, dispatch_queue_t queue, void *ctxt,
dispatch_function_t func) {
uint64_t delta, leeway;
dispatch_source_t ds;
//屏蔽DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER类型
if (when == DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER) {
#if DISPATCH_DEBUG
DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(
"dispatch_after_f() called with 'when' == infinity");
#endif
return;
}
delta = _dispatch_timeout(when);
if (delta == 0) {
return dispatch_async_f(queue, ctxt, func);
}
leeway = delta / 10; // <rdar://problem/13447496>
if (leeway < NSEC_PER_MSEC) leeway = NSEC_PER_MSEC;
if (leeway > 60 * NSEC_PER_SEC) leeway = 60 * NSEC_PER_SEC;
// this function can and should be optimized to not use a dispatch source
//创建dispatch_source
ds = dispatch_source_create(DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_TIMER, 0, 0, queue);
dispatch_assert(ds);
dispatch_continuation_t dc = _dispatch_continuation_alloc();
dc->do_vtable = (void *)(DISPATCH_OBJ_ASYNC_BIT | DISPATCH_OBJ_BARRIER_BIT);
dc->dc_func = func;
dc->dc_ctxt = ctxt;
dc->dc_data = ds;
//将dispatch_continuation_t存储到上下文中
dispatch_set_context(ds, dc);
//设置timer并启动
dispatch_source_set_event_handler_f(ds, _dispatch_after_timer_callback);
dispatch_source_set_timer(ds, when, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER, leeway);
dispatch_resume(ds);
}
timer到时之后,会调用_dispatch_after_timer_callback函数,在这里取出上下文里的block并执行:
void _dispatch_after_timer_callback(void *ctxt) {
dispatch_continuation_t dc = ctxt, dc1;
dispatch_source_t ds = dc->dc_data;
dc1 = _dispatch_continuation_free_cacheonly(dc);
//执行任务的block并执行
_dispatch_client_callout(dc->dc_ctxt, dc->dc_func);
//清理数据
dispatch_source_cancel(ds);
dispatch_release(ds);
if (slowpath(dc1)) {
_dispatch_continuation_free_to_cache_limit(dc1);
}
}
总结篇
Dispatch Source使用最多的就是用来实现定时器,source创建后默认是暂停状态,需要手动调用dispatch_resume
启动定时器。dispatch_after
只是封装调用了dispatch source定时器,然后在回调函数中执行定义的block。
Dispatch Source定时器使用时也有一些需要注意的地方,不然很可能会引起crash:
1、循环引用:因为dispatch_source_set_event_handler回调是个block,在添加到source的链表上时会执行copy并被source强引用,如果block里持有了self,self又持有了source的话,就会引起循环引用。正确的方法是使用weak+strong或者提前调用dispatch_source_cancel取消timer。
2、dispatch_resume
和dispatch_suspend
调用次数需要平衡,如果重复调用dispatch_resume则会崩溃,因为重复调用会让dispatch_resume
代码里if分支不成立,从而执行了DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(“Over-resume of an object”)导致崩溃。
3、source在suspend状态下,如果直接设置source = nil或者重新创建source都会造成crash。正确的方式是在resume状态下调用dispatch_source_cancel(source)后再重新创建。
