AFNetworking 中如何运用 Runloop?
AFURLConnectionOperation 这个类是基于 NSURLConnection 构建的,其希望能在后台线程接收 Delegate 回调。为此 AFNetworking 单独创建了一个线程,并在这个线程中启动了一个 RunLoop:
+ (void)networkRequestThreadEntryPoint:(id)__unused object {
@autoreleasepool {
[[NSThread currentThread] setName:@"AFNetworking"];
NSRunLoop *runLoop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop];
[runLoop addPort:[NSMachPort port] forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
[runLoop run];
}
}
AFNetworking 2.0的常驻线程为什么一开始要自动释放池
Each thread in a Cocoa application maintains its own stack of autorelease pool blocks. If you are writing a Foundation-only program or if you detach a thread, you need to create your own autorelease pool block.
当新建线程的时候,需要使用自动释放池。并且设计到Cocoa编程在合适的地方也要设置自动释放池。
- 为了在释放池块后,立即释放对象
- 开启新的线程时,需要维护自动释放池栈
@autoreleasepool {
[[NSThread currentThread] setName:@"AFNetworking"];
NSRunLoop *runLoop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop];
[runLoop addPort:[NSMachPort port] forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
[runLoop run];
}
所以上面的代码逻辑是给子线程创建runloop和维持线程等待消息。自动释放池存在的逻辑不是为了释放对象,而是新建线程需要**维护自动释放池栈**。参考整个app的main函数app启动
+ (NSThread *)networkRequestThread {
static NSThread *_networkRequestThread = nil;
static dispatch_once_t oncePredicate;
dispatch_once(&oncePredicate, ^{
_networkRequestThread = [[NSThread alloc] initWithTarget:self selector:@selector(networkRequestThreadEntryPoint:) object:nil];
[_networkRequestThread start];
});
return _networkRequestThread;
}
RunLoop 启动前内部必须要有至少一个 Timer/Observer/Source,所以 AFNetworking 在 [runLoop run] 之前先创建了一个新的 NSMachPort 添加进去了。通常情况下,调用者需要持有这个 NSMachPort (mach_port) 并在外部线程通过这个 port 发送消息到 loop 内;但此处添加 port 只是为了让 RunLoop 不至于退出,并没有用于实际的发送消息。
- (void)start {
[self.lock lock];
if ([self isCancelled]) {
[self performSelector:@selector(cancelConnection) onThread:[[self class] networkRequestThread] withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO modes:[self.runLoopModes allObjects]];
} else if ([self isReady]) {
self.state = AFOperationExecutingState;
[self performSelector:@selector(operationDidStart) onThread:[[self class] networkRequestThread] withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO modes:[self.runLoopModes allObjects]];
}
[self.lock unlock];
}
当需要这个后台线程执行任务时,AFNetworking 通过调用 [NSObject performSelector:onThread:..] 将这个任务扔到了后台线程的 RunLoop 中。
