iOS刨根问底-深入理解GCD-LMLPHP

做过iOS开发的同学相信对于GCD(Grand Central Dispatch)并不陌生,因为在平时多线程开发过程中GCD应该是使用最多的技术甚至它要比它的上层封装NSOperation还要常用,其中最主要的原因是简单易用功能强大。本文将从GCD的原理和使用两个层面分析GCD的内容,本文会结合源码和实例分析使用GCD的注意事项,源码解读部分主要通过注释源码的方式方便进行源码分析,具体到细节通过在源码解释说明。

开源的libdispatch

和前面一篇文章深入了解Runloop一样GCD的代码是开源的(也可以直接从苹果官网下载),这样要弄清GCD的很多实现原理就有了可能,所以文中不涉及的很多细节大家可以通过源代码进行了解。下面让我们看一下关于常见的几个类型的源码:

队列类型 dispatch_queue_t

dispatch_queue_t应该是平时接触最多的一个GCD类型,比如说创建一个队列,它返回的就是一个dispatch_queue_t类型:

dispatch_queue_t serialDispatch = dispatch_queue_create("com.cmjstudio.dispatch", nil);

通过查看源码可以看到dispatch_queue_t的定义:

// 首先可以看到dispatch_queue_t本身只是dispatch_queue_s这个结构体指针

typedef struct dispatch_queue_s *dispatch_queue_t;

// 继续查看dispatch_queue_s定义,可以看到一个

DISPATCH_QUEUE_CLASS_HEADER的宏定义
struct dispatch_queue_s {
	DISPATCH_QUEUE_CLASS_HEADER(queue, void *__dq_opaque1);
	/* 32bit hole on LP64 */
} DISPATCH_ATOMIC64_ALIGN;

// 查看DISPATCH_QUEUE_CLASS_HEADER

#define DISPATCH_QUEUE_CLASS_HEADER(x, __pointer_sized_field__) \
	_DISPATCH_QUEUE_CLASS_HEADER(x, __pointer_sized_field__); \
	/* LP64 global queue cacheline boundary */ \
	unsigned long dq_serialnum; \
	const char *dq_label; \
	DISPATCH_UNION_LE(uint32_t volatile dq_atomic_flags, \
		const uint16_t dq_width, \
		const uint16_t __dq_opaque2 \
	); \
	dispatch_priority_t dq_priority; \
	union { \
		struct dispatch_queue_specific_head_s *dq_specific_head; \
		struct dispatch_source_refs_s *ds_refs; \
		struct dispatch_timer_source_refs_s *ds_timer_refs; \
		struct dispatch_mach_recv_refs_s *dm_recv_refs; \
	}; \
	int volatile dq_sref_cnt

// 展开_DISPATCH_QUEUE_CLASS_HEADER

#define _DISPATCH_QUEUE_CLASS_HEADER(x, __pointer_sized_field__) \
	DISPATCH_OBJECT_HEADER(x); \
	DISPATCH_UNION_LE(uint64_t volatile dq_state, \
			dispatch_lock dq_state_lock, \
			uint32_t dq_state_bits \
	); \
	__pointer_sized_field__

// 持续展开DISPATCH_OBJECT_HEADER

#define DISPATCH_OBJECT_HEADER(x) \
	struct dispatch_object_s _as_do[0]; \
	_DISPATCH_OBJECT_HEADER(x)

// 进一步查看 _DISPATCH_OBJECT_HEADER

#define _DISPATCH_OBJECT_HEADER(x) \
	struct _os_object_s _as_os_obj[0]; \
	OS_OBJECT_STRUCT_HEADER(dispatch_##x); \
	struct dispatch_##x##_s *volatile do_next; \
	struct dispatch_queue_s *do_targetq; \
	void *do_ctxt; \
	void *do_finalizer

// 再查看 OS_OBJECT_STRUCT_HEADER

#define OS_OBJECT_STRUCT_HEADER(x) \
	_OS_OBJECT_HEADER(\
	const void *_objc_isa, \
	do_ref_cnt, \
	do_xref_cnt); \
	const struct x##_vtable_s *do_vtable

// 进一步查看 _OS_OBJECT_HEADER

#define _OS_OBJECT_HEADER(isa, ref_cnt, xref_cnt) \
        isa; /* must be pointer-sized */ \
        int volatile ref_cnt; \
        int volatile xref_cnt

上面的源代码拆分过程尽管繁琐但是每一步都可以在源码中顺利的找到倒也不是太复杂。最终可以看到 dispatch_queue_t 本身存储了我们平时常见的label、priority、specific等,本身就是isa指针和引用计数器等一些信息。

创建队列 dispatch_queue_create

dispatch_queue_create 用于创建一个队列,返回类型是上面分析过的dispatch_queue_t ,那么现在看一下如何创建一个队列:

dispatch_queue_t
dispatch_queue_create(const char *label, dispatch_queue_attr_t attr)
{
	return _dispatch_lane_create_with_target(label, attr,
			DISPATCH_TARGET_QUEUE_DEFAULT, true);
}

// 然后进一步查看 _dispatch_lane_create_with_target 的代码

static dispatch_queue_t
_dispatch_lane_create_with_target(const char *label, dispatch_queue_attr_t dqa,
		dispatch_queue_t tq, bool legacy)
{
	dispatch_queue_attr_info_t dqai = _dispatch_queue_attr_to_info(dqa);

	//
	// Step 1: Normalize arguments (qos, overcommit, tq)
	//

	dispatch_qos_t qos = dqai.dqai_qos;
#if !HAVE_PTHREAD_WORKQUEUE_QOS
	if (qos == DISPATCH_QOS_USER_INTERACTIVE) {
		dqai.dqai_qos = qos = DISPATCH_QOS_USER_INITIATED;
	}
	if (qos == DISPATCH_QOS_MAINTENANCE) {
		dqai.dqai_qos = qos = DISPATCH_QOS_BACKGROUND;
	}
#endif // !HAVE_PTHREAD_WORKQUEUE_QOS

	_dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_t overcommit = dqai.dqai_overcommit;
	if (overcommit != _dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_unspecified && tq) {
		if (tq->do_targetq) {
			DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(tq, "Cannot specify both overcommit and "
					"a non-global target queue");
		}
	}

	if (tq && dx_type(tq) == DISPATCH_QUEUE_GLOBAL_ROOT_TYPE) {
		// Handle discrepancies between attr and target queue, attributes win
		if (overcommit == _dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_unspecified) {
			if (tq->dq_priority & DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT) {
				overcommit = _dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_enabled;
			} else {
				overcommit = _dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_disabled;
			}
		}
		if (qos == DISPATCH_QOS_UNSPECIFIED) {
			qos = _dispatch_priority_qos(tq->dq_priority);
		}
		tq = NULL;
	} else if (tq && !tq->do_targetq) {
		// target is a pthread or runloop root queue, setting QoS or overcommit
		// is disallowed
		if (overcommit != _dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_unspecified) {
			DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(tq, "Cannot specify an overcommit attribute "
					"and use this kind of target queue");
		}
	} else {
		if (overcommit == _dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_unspecified) {
			// Serial queues default to overcommit!
			overcommit = dqai.dqai_concurrent ?
					_dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_disabled :
					_dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_enabled;
		}
	}
	if (!tq) {
		tq = _dispatch_get_root_queue(
				qos == DISPATCH_QOS_UNSPECIFIED ? DISPATCH_QOS_DEFAULT : qos,
				overcommit == _dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_enabled)->_as_dq;
		if (unlikely(!tq)) {
			DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(qos, "Invalid queue attribute");
		}
	}

	//
	// Step 2: Initialize the queue
	//

	if (legacy) {
		// if any of these attributes is specified, use non legacy classes
		if (dqai.dqai_inactive || dqai.dqai_autorelease_frequency) {
			legacy = false;
		}
	}

	const void *vtable;
	dispatch_queue_flags_t dqf = legacy ? DQF_MUTABLE : 0;
	if (dqai.dqai_concurrent) {
		vtable = DISPATCH_VTABLE(queue_concurrent);
	} else {
		vtable = DISPATCH_VTABLE(queue_serial);
	}
	switch (dqai.dqai_autorelease_frequency) {
	case DISPATCH_AUTORELEASE_FREQUENCY_NEVER:
		dqf |= DQF_AUTORELEASE_NEVER;
		break;
	case DISPATCH_AUTORELEASE_FREQUENCY_WORK_ITEM:
		dqf |= DQF_AUTORELEASE_ALWAYS;
		break;
	}
	if (label) {
		const char *tmp = _dispatch_strdup_if_mutable(label);
		if (tmp != label) {
			dqf |= DQF_LABEL_NEEDS_FREE;
			label = tmp;
		}
	}

	dispatch_lane_t dq = _dispatch_object_alloc(vtable,
			sizeof(struct dispatch_lane_s));
	_dispatch_queue_init(dq, dqf, dqai.dqai_concurrent ?
			DISPATCH_QUEUE_WIDTH_MAX : 1, DISPATCH_QUEUE_ROLE_INNER |
			(dqai.dqai_inactive ? DISPATCH_QUEUE_INACTIVE : 0));

	dq->dq_label = label;
	dq->dq_priority = _dispatch_priority_make((dispatch_qos_t)dqai.dqai_qos,
			dqai.dqai_relpri);
	if (overcommit == _dispatch_queue_attr_overcommit_enabled) {
		dq->dq_priority |= DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT;
	}
	if (!dqai.dqai_inactive) {
		_dispatch_queue_priority_inherit_from_target(dq, tq);
		_dispatch_lane_inherit_wlh_from_target(dq, tq);
	}
	_dispatch_retain(tq);
	dq->do_targetq = tq;
	_dispatch_object_debug(dq, "%s", __func__);
	return _dispatch_trace_queue_create(dq)._dq;
}

从源码注释也可以看出主要有两步操作,第一步是 Normalize arguments,第二部才是真正创建队列,忽略一些参数规范化操作。首先_dispatch_get_root_queue用于获取root队列,它有两个参数:一个是队列优先级(有6个:userInteractive>default>unspecified>userInitiated>utility>background),另一个是支持不支持过载overcommit(支持overcommit的队列在创建队列时无论系统是否有足够的资源都会重新开一个线程),所以总共就有12个root队列。对应的源代码如下(其实是从一个数组中获取):

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE DISPATCH_CONST
static inline dispatch_queue_global_t
_dispatch_get_root_queue(dispatch_qos_t qos, bool overcommit)
{
	if (unlikely(qos < DISPATCH_QOS_MIN || qos > DISPATCH_QOS_MAX)) {
		DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(qos, "Corrupted priority");
	}
	return &_dispatch_root_queues[2 * (qos - 1) + overcommit];
}

至于12个root队列可以查看源代码:

struct dispatch_queue_global_s _dispatch_root_queues[] = {
#define _DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX(n, flags) \
		((flags & DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT) ? \
		DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_##n##_QOS_OVERCOMMIT : \
		DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_##n##_QOS)
#define _DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(n, flags, ...) \
	[_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX(n, flags)] = { \
		DISPATCH_GLOBAL_OBJECT_HEADER(queue_global), \
		.dq_state = DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_STATE_INIT_VALUE, \
		.do_ctxt = _dispatch_root_queue_ctxt(_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX(n, flags)), \
		.dq_atomic_flags = DQF_WIDTH(DISPATCH_QUEUE_WIDTH_POOL), \
		.dq_priority = flags | ((flags & DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_FALLBACK) ? \
				_dispatch_priority_make_fallback(DISPATCH_QOS_##n) : \
				_dispatch_priority_make(DISPATCH_QOS_##n, 0)), \
		__VA_ARGS__ \
	}
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(MAINTENANCE, 0,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.maintenance-qos",
		.dq_serialnum = 4,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(MAINTENANCE, DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.maintenance-qos.overcommit",
		.dq_serialnum = 5,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(BACKGROUND, 0,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.background-qos",
		.dq_serialnum = 6,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(BACKGROUND, DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.background-qos.overcommit",
		.dq_serialnum = 7,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(UTILITY, 0,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.utility-qos",
		.dq_serialnum = 8,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(UTILITY, DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.utility-qos.overcommit",
		.dq_serialnum = 9,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(DEFAULT, DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_FALLBACK,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.default-qos",
		.dq_serialnum = 10,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(DEFAULT,
			DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_FALLBACK | DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.default-qos.overcommit",
		.dq_serialnum = 11,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(USER_INITIATED, 0,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos",
		.dq_serialnum = 12,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(USER_INITIATED, DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.overcommit",
		.dq_serialnum = 13,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(USER_INTERACTIVE, 0,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.user-interactive-qos",
		.dq_serialnum = 14,
	),
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_ENTRY(USER_INTERACTIVE, DISPATCH_PRIORITY_FLAG_OVERCOMMIT,
		.dq_label = "com.apple.root.user-interactive-qos.overcommit",
		.dq_serialnum = 15,
	),
};

其实我们平时用到的全局队列也是其中一个root队列,这个只要查看dispatch_get_global_queue代码就可以了:

dispatch_queue_global_t
dispatch_get_global_queue(intptr_t priority, uintptr_t flags)
{
	dispatch_assert(countof(_dispatch_root_queues) ==
			DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_COUNT);

	if (flags & ~(unsigned long)DISPATCH_QUEUE_OVERCOMMIT) {
		return DISPATCH_BAD_INPUT;
	}
	dispatch_qos_t qos = _dispatch_qos_from_queue_priority(priority);
#if !HAVE_PTHREAD_WORKQUEUE_QOS
	if (qos == QOS_CLASS_MAINTENANCE) {
		qos = DISPATCH_QOS_BACKGROUND;
	} else if (qos == QOS_CLASS_USER_INTERACTIVE) {
		qos = DISPATCH_QOS_USER_INITIATED;
	}
#endif
	if (qos == DISPATCH_QOS_UNSPECIFIED) {
		return DISPATCH_BAD_INPUT;
	}
	return _dispatch_get_root_queue(qos, flags & DISPATCH_QUEUE_OVERCOMMIT);
}

可以很清楚的看到,dispatch_get_global_queue的本质就是调用_dispatch_get_root_queue,其中的flag只是一个苹果予保留字段,通常我们传0(你可以试试传1应该队列创建失败),而代入上面的数组当使用dispatch_get_global_queue(QOS_CLASS_DEFAULT, 0)。如果打印这个返回结果可以看到:

<OS_dispatch_queue_global: com.apple.root.default-qos[0x1063cbf00] = { xref = -2147483648, ref = -2147483648, sref = 1, target = [0x0], width = 0xfff, state = 0x0060000000000000, in-barrier}>

首先通过上面数组进行索引2 * (qos - 1) + overcommit = 2*(4-1)+0 = 6 ,可以索引得到 dq_serialnum=10的队列,刚好label=com.apple.root.default-qos。至于qos参数为什么是4呢?

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline dispatch_qos_t
_dispatch_qos_from_queue_priority(intptr_t priority)
{
	switch (priority) {
	case DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND:      return DISPATCH_QOS_BACKGROUND;
	case DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_NON_INTERACTIVE: return DISPATCH_QOS_UTILITY;
	case DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_LOW:             return DISPATCH_QOS_UTILITY;
	case DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT:         return DISPATCH_QOS_DEFAULT;
	case DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH:            return DISPATCH_QOS_USER_INITIATED;
	default: return _dispatch_qos_from_qos_class((qos_class_t)priority);
	}

#define DISPATCH_QOS_DEFAULT            ((dispatch_qos_t)4)
}

然后我们分析一下dispatch_queue_create中的DISPATCH_VTABLE这个宏:

#define DISPATCH_VTABLE(name) DISPATCH_OBJC_CLASS(name)

// 查看DISPATCH_OBJC_CLASS

#define DISPATCH_OBJC_CLASS(name)	(&DISPATCH_CLASS_SYMBOL(name))

// 进一步查看 DISPATCH_CLASS_SYMBOL

#define DISPATCH_CLASS_SYMBOL(name) OS_dispatch_##name##_class

解析之后就是按队列类型分别获取不同队列类型的类: OS_dispatch_queue_concurrent_class 和 OS_dispatch_queue_serial_class ,对比我们平时打印一个队列的信息(如下),可以看到 OS_dispatch_queue_serial 或者 OS_dispatch_queue_concurrent_class :

<OS_dispatch_queue_serial: com.cmjstudio.dispatch[0x6000026a5a00] = { xref = 1, ref = 1, sref = 1, target = com.apple.root.default-qos.overcommit[0x108a4bf80], width = 0x1, state = 0x001ffe2000000000, in-flight = 0}>

接着看_dispatch_object_alloc_dispatch_queue_init,分别用于申请对应类型的内存和初始化。首先看前者的实现:

// 注意对于iOS并不满足 OS_OBJECT_HAVE_OBJC1
void *
_dispatch_object_alloc(const void *vtable, size_t size)
{
#if OS_OBJECT_HAVE_OBJC1
	const struct dispatch_object_vtable_s *_vtable = vtable;
	dispatch_object_t dou;
	dou._os_obj = _os_object_alloc_realized(_vtable->_os_obj_objc_isa, size);
	dou._do->do_vtable = vtable;
	return dou._do;
#else
	return _os_object_alloc_realized(vtable, size);
#endif
}

// 接着看 _os_object_alloc_realized

_os_object_t
_os_object_alloc_realized(const void *cls, size_t size)
{
	dispatch_assert(size >= sizeof(struct _os_object_s));
	return _os_objc_alloc(cls, size);
}

// 再看一下 _os_objc_alloc

static inline id
_os_objc_alloc(Class cls, size_t size)
{
	id obj;
	size -= sizeof(((struct _os_object_s *)NULL)->os_obj_isa);
	while (unlikely(!(obj = class_createInstance(cls, size)))) {
		_dispatch_temporary_resource_shortage();
	}
	return obj;
}

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
void
_dispatch_temporary_resource_shortage(void)
{
	sleep(1);
	__asm__ __volatile__("");  // prevent tailcall
}

然后看一下内存分配之后的初始化_dispatch_queue_init源码,也只是简单的进行了初始化工作,不过值得一提的是dqai.dqai_concurrent ? DISPATCH_QUEUE_WIDTH_MAX : 1这个参数,DISPATCH_QUEUE_WIDTH_MAX其实看一下源码就知道是0x1000ull-2就是0xffe,而如果是串行队列就是1,这也是为什么可以在上面打印中看到width = 0x1的原因,width本身就是并发数的个数,对于串行队列是1而对于并发队列是不限制的(回过头去看全局队列width为什么是0xfff呢,因为它的width是#define DISPATCH_QUEUE_WIDTH_POOL (DISPATCH_QUEUE_WIDTH_FULL - 1)
)=0x1000ull-1:

static inline dispatch_queue_class_t
_dispatch_queue_init(dispatch_queue_class_t dqu, dispatch_queue_flags_t dqf,
		uint16_t width, uint64_t initial_state_bits)
{
	uint64_t dq_state = DISPATCH_QUEUE_STATE_INIT_VALUE(width);
	dispatch_queue_t dq = dqu._dq;

	dispatch_assert((initial_state_bits & ~(DISPATCH_QUEUE_ROLE_MASK |
			DISPATCH_QUEUE_INACTIVE)) == 0);

	if (initial_state_bits & DISPATCH_QUEUE_INACTIVE) {
		dq_state |= DISPATCH_QUEUE_INACTIVE + DISPATCH_QUEUE_NEEDS_ACTIVATION;
		dq->do_ref_cnt += 2; // rdar://8181908 see _dispatch_lane_resume
		if (dx_metatype(dq) == _DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE) {
			dq->do_ref_cnt++; // released when DSF_DELETED is set
		}
	}

	dq_state |= (initial_state_bits & DISPATCH_QUEUE_ROLE_MASK);
	dq->do_next = DISPATCH_OBJECT_LISTLESS;
	dqf |= DQF_WIDTH(width);
	os_atomic_store2o(dq, dq_atomic_flags, dqf, relaxed);
	dq->dq_state = dq_state;
	dq->dq_serialnum =
			os_atomic_inc_orig(&_dispatch_queue_serial_numbers, relaxed);
	return dqu;
}

接着看dispatch_queue_createdq->do_targetq = tq;这句话是什么意思呢?这个其实是当使用dispatch_queue_create创建的自定义队列(事实上包括主队列和管理队列,也就是非全局队列[可以看一下上面的源代码全局队列并没有设置do_targetq,但是事实上它本身就是root队列]),都需要压入到全局队列(这里指的是root队列)进行处理,这个目标队列的目的就是允许我们将一个队列放在另一个队列里执行任务。看一下上面创建自定义队列的源码不难发现,如果是自定义一个串行队列其实最终就是一个root队列。

为了验证上面关于主队列也是root队列的说法不放看一下主队列的源码:

DISPATCH_INLINE DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE DISPATCH_CONST DISPATCH_NOTHROW
dispatch_queue_main_t
dispatch_get_main_queue(void)
{
	return DISPATCH_GLOBAL_OBJECT(dispatch_queue_main_t, _dispatch_main_q);
}

// 进一步查看 DISPATCH_GLOBAL_OBJECT

#define DISPATCH_GLOBAL_OBJECT(type, object) ((OS_OBJECT_BRIDGE type)&(object))

// 先看一下类型 dispatch_queue_main_t

#if defined(__DISPATCH_BUILDING_DISPATCH__) && !defined(__OBJC__)
typedef struct dispatch_queue_static_s *dispatch_queue_main_t;
#else
DISPATCH_DECL_SUBCLASS(dispatch_queue_main, dispatch_queue_serial);
#endif

// 然后查看 _dispatch_main_q,可以看到真正的类型如下

struct dispatch_queue_static_s _dispatch_main_q = {
	DISPATCH_GLOBAL_OBJECT_HEADER(queue_main),
#if !DISPATCH_USE_RESOLVERS
	.do_targetq = _dispatch_get_default_queue(true),
#endif
	.dq_state = DISPATCH_QUEUE_STATE_INIT_VALUE(1) |
			DISPATCH_QUEUE_ROLE_BASE_ANON,
	.dq_label = "com.apple.main-thread",
	.dq_atomic_flags = DQF_THREAD_BOUND | DQF_WIDTH(1),
	.dq_serialnum = 1,
};

// 查看 _dispatch_get_default_queue源码

#define _dispatch_get_default_queue(overcommit) \
		_dispatch_root_queues[DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_DEFAULT_QOS + \
				!!(overcommit)]._as_dq

// 查看 DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_DEFAULT_QOS

enum {
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_MAINTENANCE_QOS = 0,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_MAINTENANCE_QOS_OVERCOMMIT,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_BACKGROUND_QOS,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_BACKGROUND_QOS_OVERCOMMIT,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_UTILITY_QOS,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_UTILITY_QOS_OVERCOMMIT,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_DEFAULT_QOS,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_DEFAULT_QOS_OVERCOMMIT,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_USER_INITIATED_QOS,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_USER_INITIATED_QOS_OVERCOMMIT,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_USER_INTERACTIVE_QOS,
	DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_USER_INTERACTIVE_QOS_OVERCOMMIT,
	_DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_COUNT,
};

可以看到主队列do_targetq也是一个root队列(通过获取_dispatch_root_queues),DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_IDX_DEFAULT_QOS =6 所以 _dispatch_root_queues[6+1] 就是com.apple.root.default-qos.overcommit,不妨打印一些主队列(如下),可以看到target正是com.apple.root.default-qos.overcommit,而且width=1,其次由于dispatch_queue_main_t是对dispatch_queue_serial的重写所以也是一个串行队列:

<OS_dispatch_queue_main: com.apple.main-thread[0x1092dfb00] = { xref = -2147483648, ref = -2147483648, sref = 1, target = com.apple.root.default-qos.overcommit[0x1092dff80], width = 0x1, state = 0x001ffe9000000300, dirty, in-flight = 0, thread = 0x303 }>

到了这里关于队列的创建我们已经基本介绍完了,可以看到不管是自定义队列、全局队列还是主队列最终都直接或者间接的依赖12个root队列来执行任务调度(尽管如此主队列有自己的label,如果按照label计算总共16个,除了上面的12个,就是com.apple.main-thread还有两个内部管理队列com.apple.libdispatch-managercom.apple.root.libdispatch-manager以及runloop的运行队列)。下面看一下几个常用的队列任务的执行方法的源码,对于任务的执行GCD其实主要用两个方法dispatch_syncdispatch_async

队列和线程之间的关系

上面提到一个重要概念是overcommit,overcommit的队列在队列创建时会新建一个线程,非overcommit队列创建队列则未必创建线程。另外width=1意味着是串行队列,只有一个线程可用,width=0xffe则意味着并行队列,线程则是从线程池获取,可用线程数是64个。
可以看到全局队列是非overcommit的(flat保留字只能传0,如果默认优先级则是com.apple.root.default-qos,但是width=0xffe是并行队列);主队列是overcommit的com.apple.root.default-qos.overcommit,不过它是串行队列,width=1,并且运行的这个线程只能是主线程;自定义串行队列是overcommit的,默认优先级则是 com.apple.root.default-qos.overcommit,并行队列则是非overcommit的。

这里看一下为什么上面说并行队列最大线程数是64个,不妨结合几个例子来查看:

/**
 串行队列只有一个线程,线程num > 2
 **/
- (void)test1 {
    dispatch_queue_t serialQueue = dispatch_queue_create("com.cmjstudio.dispatch", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);
    for (int i=0; i<1000; ++i) {
        dispatch_async(serialQueue, ^{
            NSLog(@"%@,%i",[NSThread currentThread],i); // only one thread(number = 3~66)
        });
    }
}

- (void)test2 {
    dispatch_queue_attr_t attr = dispatch_queue_attr_make_with_qos_class(DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL, QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED, -1);
    dispatch_queue_t serialQueue = dispatch_queue_create("com.cmjstudio.dispatch", attr);
    for (int i=0; i<1000; ++i) {
        dispatch_async(serialQueue, ^{
            NSLog(@"%@,%i",[NSThread currentThread],i); // only one thread

可以看到对于 dispatch_asyn 的调用(同步操作线程都在主线程不再赘述)串行队列是overcommit的,创建队列会创建1个新的线程,并行队列是非overcommit的,不一定会新建线程,会从线程池中的64个线程中获取并使用。另外上面的dispatch_set_target_queue 操作和前面源码中的do_targetq是作用一样的。

这样以来反而串行队列是开发中应该注意的,因为一旦新建一个串行队列就会新建一个线程,避免在类似循环操作中新建串行队列,这个上限是多少是任意多吗?其实也不是最多新增512个(不算主线程,number从4开始到515)但是这明显已经是灾难性的了。另外对于多个同一优先级的自定义串行队列(比如:com.apple.root.default-qos.overcommit)对于 dispatch_asyn 调用又怎么保证调用顺序呢?尽管是overcommit可以创建多个线程,毕竟都在一个root队列中执行,优先级又是相同的。
先看一段代码:

-(void)test10{
    dispatch_queue_t serialQueue1 = dispatch_queue_create("com.cmjstudio.dispatch1", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);

    dispatch_queue_t serialQueue2 = dispatch_queue_create("com.cmjstudio.dispatch2", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);

    dispatch_queue_t serialQueue3 = dispatch_queue_create("com.cmjstudio.dispatch3", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);

    dispatch_async(serialQueue1, ^{
        NSLog(@"serialQueue1 async invoke:%@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    });
    dispatch_async(serialQueue2, ^{
        NSLog(@"serialQueue2 async invoke:%@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    });
    dispatch_async(serialQueue3, ^{
        NSLog(@"serialQueue3 async invoke:%@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    });
}

三次执行顺序依次如下:

2020-07-07 19:26:57.951602+0800 GCDBasic[68448:3758078] serialQueue2 async invoke:<NSThread: 0x600000e06500>{number = 4, name = (null)}

确实单次执行都创建了新的线程(和前面说的 overcommit 是相符的),但是执行任务的顺序可以说是随机的,这个和线程调度有关,那么如果有比较重的任务会不会造成影响呢?这个答案是如果都分别创建了队列(overcommit)一般不会有影响,除非创建超过了512个,因为尽管是同一个root队列但是会创建不同的线程,此时当前root队列仅仅控制任务FIFO,但是并不是只有第一个任务执行完第二个任务才能开始,也就是说FIFO控制的是开始的节奏,但是任务在不同的thread执行不会阻塞。当然一个串行队列中的多个异步task是相互有执行顺序的,比如下面的代码task2一定会被task1阻塞,但是都不会阻塞task3:

-(void)test11{
    dispatch_queue_t serialQueue1 = dispatch_queue_create("com.cmjstudio.dispatch1", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);
    dispatch_async(serialQueue1, ^{
        NSLog(@"task1 in");
        [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:5];
        NSLog(@"serialQueue1-task1 async invoke:%@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    });

    dispatch_async(serialQueue1, ^{
        NSLog(@"task2 in");
        [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:5];
        NSLog(@"serialQueue1-task2 async invoke:%@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    });

    dispatch_queue_t serialQueue2 = dispatch_queue_create("com.cmjstudio.dispatch2", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);
    dispatch_async(serialQueue2, ^{
        NSLog(@"task3 in");
        NSLog(@"serialQueue2-task3 async invoke:%@", [NSThread currentThread]);
    });
}

同步执行 dispatch_sync

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
void
dispatch_sync(dispatch_queue_t dq, dispatch_block_t work)
{
	uintptr_t dc_flags = DC_FLAG_BLOCK;
	if (unlikely(_dispatch_block_has_private_data(work))) {
		return _dispatch_sync_block_with_privdata(dq, work, dc_flags);
	}
	_dispatch_sync_f(dq, work, _dispatch_Block_invoke(work), dc_flags);
}

// 进一步查看 _dispatch_sync_f

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
static void
_dispatch_sync_f(dispatch_queue_t dq, void *ctxt, dispatch_function_t func,
		uintptr_t dc_flags)
{
	_dispatch_sync_f_inline(dq, ctxt, func, dc_flags);
}

// 查看 _dispatch_sync_f_inline

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline void
_dispatch_sync_f_inline(dispatch_queue_t dq, void *ctxt,
		dispatch_function_t func, uintptr_t dc_flags)
{
	if (likely(dq->dq_width == 1)) {
		return _dispatch_barrier_sync_f(dq, ctxt, func, dc_flags);
	}

	if (unlikely(dx_metatype(dq) != _DISPATCH_LANE_TYPE)) {
		DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(0, "Queue type doesn't support dispatch_sync");
	}

	dispatch_lane_t dl = upcast(dq)._dl;
	// Global concurrent queues and queues bound to non-dispatch threads
	// always fall into the slow case, see DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_STATE_INIT_VALUE
	if (unlikely(!_dispatch_queue_try_reserve_sync_width(dl))) {
		return _dispatch_sync_f_slow(dl, ctxt, func, 0, dl, dc_flags);
	}

	if (unlikely(dq->do_targetq->do_targetq)) {
		return _dispatch_sync_recurse(dl, ctxt, func, dc_flags);
	}
	_dispatch_introspection_sync_begin(dl);
	_dispatch_sync_invoke_and_complete(dl, ctxt, func DISPATCH_TRACE_ARG(
			_dispatch_trace_item_sync_push_pop(dq, ctxt, func, dc_flags)));
}

可以看到首先通过width判定是串行队列还是并发队列,如果是并发队列则调用_dispatch_sync_invoke_and_complete,串行队列则调用_dispatch_barrier_sync_f。先展开看一下串行队列的同步执行源代码:

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
static void
_dispatch_barrier_sync_f(dispatch_queue_t dq, void *ctxt,
		dispatch_function_t func, uintptr_t dc_flags)
{
	_dispatch_barrier_sync_f_inline(dq, ctxt, func, dc_flags);
}

// 看一下 _dispatch_barrier_sync_f_inline

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline void
_dispatch_barrier_sync_f_inline(dispatch_queue_t dq, void *ctxt,
		dispatch_function_t func, uintptr_t dc_flags)
{
	dispatch_tid tid = _dispatch_tid_self();

	if (unlikely(dx_metatype(dq) != _DISPATCH_LANE_TYPE)) {
		DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(0, "Queue type doesn't support dispatch_sync");
	}

	dispatch_lane_t dl = upcast(dq)._dl;
	// The more correct thing to do would be to merge the qos of the thread
	// that just acquired the barrier lock into the queue state.
	//
	// However this is too expensive for the fast path, so skip doing it.
	// The chosen tradeoff is that if an enqueue on a lower priority thread
	// contends with this fast path, this thread may receive a useless override.
	//
	// Global concurrent queues and queues bound to non-dispatch threads
	// always fall into the slow case, see DISPATCH_ROOT_QUEUE_STATE_INIT_VALUE
	if (unlikely(!_dispatch_queue_try_acquire_barrier_sync(dl, tid))) {
		return _dispatch_sync_f_slow(dl, ctxt, func, DC_FLAG_BARRIER, dl,
				DC_FLAG_BARRIER | dc_flags);
	}

	if (unlikely(dl->do_targetq->do_targetq)) {
		return _dispatch_sync_recurse(dl, ctxt, func,
				DC_FLAG_BARRIER | dc_flags);
	}
	_dispatch_introspection_sync_begin(dl);
	_dispatch_lane_barrier_sync_invoke_and_complete(dl, ctxt, func
			DISPATCH_TRACE_ARG(_dispatch_trace_item_sync_push_pop(
					dq, ctxt, func, dc_flags | DC_FLAG_BARRIER)));
}

首先获取线程id,然后处理死锁的情况,因此这里先看一下死锁的情况:

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
static void
_dispatch_sync_f_slow(dispatch_queue_class_t top_dqu, void *ctxt,
		dispatch_function_t func, uintptr_t top_dc_flags,
		dispatch_queue_class_t dqu, uintptr_t dc_flags)
{
	dispatch_queue_t top_dq = top_dqu._dq;
	dispatch_queue_t dq = dqu._dq;
	if (unlikely(!dq->do_targetq)) {
		return _dispatch_sync_function_invoke(dq, ctxt, func);
	}

	pthread_priority_t pp = _dispatch_get_priority();
	struct dispatch_sync_context_s dsc = {
		.dc_flags    = DC_FLAG_SYNC_WAITER | dc_flags,
		.dc_func     = _dispatch_async_and_wait_invoke,
		.dc_ctxt     = &dsc,
		.dc_other    = top_dq,
		.dc_priority = pp | _PTHREAD_PRIORITY_ENFORCE_FLAG,
		.dc_voucher  = _voucher_get(),
		.dsc_func    = func,
		.dsc_ctxt    = ctxt,
		.dsc_waiter  = _dispatch_tid_self(),
	};

	_dispatch_trace_item_push(top_dq, &dsc);
	__DISPATCH_WAIT_FOR_QUEUE__(&dsc, dq);

	if (dsc.dsc_func == NULL) {
		dispatch_queue_t stop_dq = dsc.dc_other;
		return _dispatch_sync_complete_recurse(top_dq, stop_dq, top_dc_flags);
	}

	_dispatch_introspection_sync_begin(top_dq);
	_dispatch_trace_item_pop(top_dq, &dsc);
	_dispatch_sync_invoke_and_complete_recurse(top_dq, ctxt, func,top_dc_flags
			DISPATCH_TRACE_ARG(&dsc));
}

// 看一下 __DISPATCH_WAIT_FOR_QUEUE__

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
static void
__DISPATCH_WAIT_FOR_QUEUE__(dispatch_sync_context_t dsc, dispatch_queue_t dq)
{
	uint64_t dq_state = _dispatch_wait_prepare(dq);
	if (unlikely(_dq_state_drain_locked_by(dq_state, dsc->dsc_waiter))) {
		DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH((uintptr_t)dq_state,
				"dispatch_sync called on queue "
				"already owned by current thread");
	}

	// Blocks submitted to the main thread MUST run on the main thread, and
	// dispatch_async_and_wait also executes on the remote context rather than
	// the current thread.
	//
	// For both these cases we need to save the frame linkage for the sake of
	// _dispatch_async_and_wait_invoke
	_dispatch_thread_frame_save_state(&dsc->dsc_dtf);

	if (_dq_state_is_suspended(dq_state) ||
			_dq_state_is_base_anon(dq_state)) {
		dsc->dc_data = DISPATCH_WLH_ANON;
	} else if (_dq_state_is_base_wlh(dq_state)) {
		dsc->dc_data = (dispatch_wlh_t)dq;
	} else {
		_dispatch_wait_compute_wlh(upcast(dq)._dl, dsc);
	}

	if (dsc->dc_data == DISPATCH_WLH_ANON) {
		dsc->dsc_override_qos_floor = dsc->dsc_override_qos =
				(uint8_t)_dispatch_get_basepri_override_qos_floor();
		_dispatch_thread_event_init(&dsc->dsc_event);
	}
	dx_push(dq, dsc, _dispatch_qos_from_pp(dsc->dc_priority));
	_dispatch_trace_runtime_event(sync_wait, dq, 0);
	if (dsc->dc_data == DISPATCH_WLH_ANON) {
		_dispatch_thread_event_wait(&dsc->dsc_event); // acquire
	} else {
		_dispatch_event_loop_wait_for_ownership(dsc);
	}
	if (dsc->dc_data == DISPATCH_WLH_ANON) {
		_dispatch_thread_event_destroy(&dsc->dsc_event);
		// If _dispatch_sync_waiter_wake() gave this thread an override,
		// ensure that the root queue sees it.
		if (dsc->dsc_override_qos > dsc->dsc_override_qos_floor) {
			_dispatch_set_basepri_override_qos(dsc->dsc_override_qos);
		}
	}
}

// 展开 _dq_state_drain_locked_by

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline bool
_dq_state_drain_locked_by(uint64_t dq_state, dispatch_tid tid)
{
	return _dispatch_lock_is_locked_by((dispatch_lock)dq_state, tid);
}

// 然后看一下 _dispatch_lock_is_locked_by

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline bool

{
	// equivalent to _dispatch_lock_owner(lock_value) == tid
	return ((lock_value ^ tid) & DLOCK_OWNER_MASK) == 0;
}

队列push以后就是用_dispatch_lock_is_locked_by判断将要调度的和当前等待的队列是不是同一个,如果相同则返回YES,产生死锁DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH;如果没有产生死锁,则执行 _dispatch_trace_item_pop()出队列执行。如何执行调度呢,需要看一下_dispatch_sync_invoke_and_complete_recurse

DISPATCH_NOINLINE

	_dispatch_sync_function_invoke_inline(dq, ctxt, func);
	_dispatch_trace_item_complete(dc);
	_dispatch_sync_complete_recurse(dq._dq, NULL, dc_flags);
}

// 看一下 _dispatch_sync_function_invoke_inline

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE

_dispatch_sync_function_invoke_inline(dispatch_queue_class_t dq, void *ctxt,

	_dispatch_client_callout(ctxt, func);
	_dispatch_perfmon_workitem_inc();
	_dispatch_thread_frame_pop(&dtf);
}

// 看一下 _dispatch_client_callout

void
_dispatch_client_callout(void *ctxt, dispatch_function_t f)
{
	@try {
		return f(ctxt);
	}
	@catch (...) {
		objc_terminate();
	}
}

可以比较清楚的看到最终执行f函数,这个就是外界传过来的回调block。

异步调用 dispatch_async

void
dispatch_async(dispatch_queue_t dq, dispatch_block_t work)
{
	dispatch_continuation_t dc = _dispatch_continuation_alloc();
	uintptr_t dc_flags = DC_FLAG_CONSUME;

	}

	dispatch_function_t func = _dispatch_Block_invoke(work);
	if (dc_flags & DC_FLAG_CONSUME) {

	}
	return _dispatch_continuation_init_f(dc, dqu, ctxt, func, flags, dc_flags);
}

// 另外查看 _dispatch_continuation_async

#endif
	return dx_push(dqu._dq, dc, qos);
}
// 进一步查看 dx_push

#define dx_push(x, y, z) dx_vtable(x)->dq_push(x, y, z)

// 本质是调用dx_vtable的dq_push(其实就是调用对象的do_push),进一步查看 dq_push,我们假设是global_queue进行异步调用可以看到:

可以看到dx_push已经到了_dispatch_root_queue_push,这是可以接着查看_dispatch_root_queue_push

	});
	_dispatch_perfmon_workitem_inc();
}

另外对于_dispatch_continuation_init的代码中的并没有对其进行展开,其实_dispatch_continuation_init中的func就是_dispatch_call_block_and_release(源码如下),它在dx_push调用时包装进了qos

void
_dispatch_call_block_and_release(void *block)
{
	void (^b)(void) = block;
	b();
	Block_release(b);
}

dispatch_async代码实现看起来比较复杂,因为其中的数据结构较多,分支流程控制比较复杂。不过思路其实很简单,用链表保存所有提交的 block(先进先出,,在队列本身维护了一个链表新加入block放到链表尾部),然后在底层线程池中,依次取出 block 并执行。

类似的可以看到dispatch_barrier_async源码和dispatch_async几乎一致,仅仅多了一个标记位DC_FLAG_BARRIER,这个标记位用于在取出任务时进行判断,正常的异步调用会依次取出,而如果遇到了DC_FLAG_BARRIER则会返回,所以可以等待所有任务执行结束执行dx_push(不过提醒一下dispatch_barrier_async必须在自定义队列才有用,原因是global队列没有v_table结构,同时不要试图在主队列调用,否则会crash):

void
dispatch_barrier_async(dispatch_queue_t dq, dispatch_block_t work)
{
	dispatch_continuation_t dc = _dispatch_continuation_alloc();
	uintptr_t dc_flags = DC_FLAG_CONSUME | DC_FLAG_BARRIER;
	dispatch_qos_t qos;

	qos = _dispatch_continuation_init(dc, dq, work, 0, dc_flags);
	_dispatch_continuation_async(dq, dc, qos, dc_flags);
}

单次执行dispatch_once

下面的代码在objc开发中应该很常见,这种方式可以保证instance只会创建一次:

+ (instancetype)sharedInstance {
    static MyClass *instance;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        instance = [[MyClass alloc] init];
    });
    return instance;
}

不放分析一下dispatch_once的源码:

void
dispatch_once(dispatch_once_t *val, dispatch_block_t block)
{
	dispatch_once_f(val, block, _dispatch_Block_invoke(block));
}

// 展开 dispatch_once_f

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
void
dispatch_once_f(dispatch_once_t *val, void *ctxt, dispatch_function_t func)
{
	dispatch_once_gate_t l = (dispatch_once_gate_t)val;

#if !DISPATCH_ONCE_INLINE_FASTPATH || DISPATCH_ONCE_USE_QUIESCENT_COUNTER
	uintptr_t v = os_atomic_load(&l->dgo_once, acquire);
	if (likely(v == DLOCK_ONCE_DONE)) {
		return;
	}
#if DISPATCH_ONCE_USE_QUIESCENT_COUNTER
	if (likely(DISPATCH_ONCE_IS_GEN(v))) {
		return _dispatch_once_mark_done_if_quiesced(l, v);
	}
#endif
#endif
	if (_dispatch_once_gate_tryenter(l)) {
		return _dispatch_once_callout(l, ctxt, func);
	}
	return _dispatch_once_wait(l);
}

// 如果 os_atomic_load为 DLOCK_ONCE_DONE 则直接返回,否则进入_dispatch_once_gate_tryenter,在这里首先判断对象是否存储过,如果存储过则则标记为unlock

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline bool
_dispatch_once_gate_tryenter(dispatch_once_gate_t l)
{
	return os_atomic_cmpxchg(&l->dgo_once, DLOCK_ONCE_UNLOCKED,
			(uintptr_t)_dispatch_lock_value_for_self(), relaxed);
}

// 如果没有存储过则执行 _dispatch_once_callout,主要是执行block

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
static void
_dispatch_once_callout(dispatch_once_gate_t l, void *ctxt,
		dispatch_function_t func)
{
	_dispatch_client_callout(ctxt, func);
	_dispatch_once_gate_broadcast(l);
}

// 执行过block则调用 _dispatch_once_gate_broadcast

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline void
_dispatch_once_gate_broadcast(dispatch_once_gate_t l)
{
	dispatch_lock value_self = _dispatch_lock_value_for_self();
	uintptr_t v;
#if DISPATCH_ONCE_USE_QUIESCENT_COUNTER
	v = _dispatch_once_mark_quiescing(l);
#else
	v = _dispatch_once_mark_done(l);
#endif
	if (likely((dispatch_lock)v == value_self)) return;
	_dispatch_gate_broadcast_slow(&l->dgo_gate, (dispatch_lock)v);
}

// 在 _dispatch_once_gate_broadcast 中由于执行完毕,使用_dispatch_once_mark_don毕标记为done

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline uintptr_t
_dispatch_once_mark_done(dispatch_once_gate_t dgo)
{
	return os_atomic_xchg(&dgo->dgo_once, DLOCK_ONCE_DONE, release);
}

swift中实现dispatch_once

说到这里,从swift3.0以后已经没办法使用dispach_once了,其实原因很简单因为在swift1.x的static var/let属性就已经是dispatch_once在后台执行的了,所以对于单例的创建没有必要显示调用了。但是有时候其他情况我们还是需要使用单次执行怎么办呢?代替方法:使用全局变量(例如创建一个对象实例或者初始化成一个立即执行的闭包:let g = {}();_ = g;),当然习惯于dispatch_once的朋友有时候并不适应这种方法,这里给出一个比较简单的方案:

public extension DispatchQueue {
   private static var _onceTracker = [String]()

   public class func once(file: String = #file, function: String = #function, line: Int = #line, block:(Void)->Void) {
       let token = file + ":" + function + ":" + String(line)
       once(token: token, block: block)
   }

   /**
    Executes a block of code, associated with a unique token, only once.  The code is thread safe and will
    only execute the code once even in the presence of multithreaded calls.

    - parameter token: A unique reverse DNS style name such as com.vectorform.<name> or a GUID
    - parameter block: Block to execute once
    */
   public class func once(token: String, block:(Void)->Void) {
       objc_sync_enter(self)
       defer { objc_sync_exit(self) }


       if _onceTracker.contains(token) {
           return
       }

       _onceTracker.append(token)
       block()
   }
}

延迟执行 dispatch_after

dispatch_after也是一个常用的延迟执行的方法,比如常见的使用方法是:

dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(1.0 * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    NSLog(@"...");
});

在查看dispatch_after源码之前先看一下另一个内容事件源dispatch_source_t,其实dispatch_source_t是一个很少让开发者和GCD联想到一起的一个类型,它本身也有对应的创建方法dispatch_source_create(事实上它的使用甚至可以追踪到Runloop)。多数开发者认识dispatch_source_t都是通过定时器,很多文章会教你如何创建一个比较准确的定时器,比如下面的代码:

dispatch_source_t timerSource = dispatch_source_create(DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_TIMER, 0, 0, dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0));
dispatch_source_set_timer(timerSource, dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 0), 3*NSEC_PER_SEC, 0);
dispatch_source_set_event_handler(timerSource, ^{
    NSLog(@"dispatch_source_t...");
});
dispatch_resume(timerSource);
self->source = timerSource;

如果你知道上面一个定时器如何执行的那么下面看一下dispatch_after应该就比较容易明白了:

void
dispatch_after(dispatch_time_t when, dispatch_queue_t queue,
		dispatch_block_t work)
{
	_dispatch_after(when, queue, NULL, work, true);
}

// 查看 _dispatch_after

DISPATCH_ALWAYS_INLINE
static inline void
_dispatch_after(dispatch_time_t when, dispatch_queue_t dq,
		void *ctxt, void *handler, bool block)
{
	dispatch_timer_source_refs_t dt;
	dispatch_source_t ds;
	uint64_t leeway, delta;

	if (when == DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER) {
#if DISPATCH_DEBUG
		DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(0, "dispatch_after called with 'when' == infinity");
#endif
		return;
	}

	delta = _dispatch_timeout(when);
	if (delta == 0) {
		if (block) {
			return dispatch_async(dq, handler);
		}
		return dispatch_async_f(dq, ctxt, handler);
	}
	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
	ds = dispatch_source_create(&_dispatch_source_type_after, 0, 0, dq);
	dt = ds->ds_timer_refs;

	dispatch_continuation_t dc = _dispatch_continuation_alloc();
	if (block) {
		_dispatch_continuation_init(dc, dq, handler, 0, 0);
	} else {
		_dispatch_continuation_init_f(dc, dq, ctxt, handler, 0, 0);
	}
	// reference `ds` so that it doesn't show up as a leak
	dc->dc_data = ds;
	_dispatch_trace_item_push(dq, dc);
	os_atomic_store2o(dt, ds_handler[DS_EVENT_HANDLER], dc, relaxed);

	dispatch_clock_t clock;
	uint64_t target;
	_dispatch_time_to_clock_and_value(when, &clock, &target);
	if (clock != DISPATCH_CLOCK_WALL) {
		leeway = _dispatch_time_nano2mach(leeway);
	}
	dt->du_timer_flags |= _dispatch_timer_flags_from_clock(clock);
	dt->dt_timer.target = target;
	dt->dt_timer.interval = UINT64_MAX;
	dt->dt_timer.deadline = target + leeway;
	dispatch_activate(ds);
}

代码并不是太复杂,无时间差则直接调用dispatch_async,否则先创建一个dispatch_source_t,不同的是这里的类型并不是DISPATCH_SOURCE_TYPE_TIMER而是_dispatch_source_type_after,查看源码不难发现它只是dispatch_source_type_s类型的一个常量和_dispatch_source_type_timer并没有明显区别:

const dispatch_source_type_s _dispatch_source_type_after = {
	.dst_kind           = "timer (after)",
	.dst_filter         = DISPATCH_EVFILT_TIMER_WITH_CLOCK,
	.dst_flags          = EV_DISPATCH,
	.dst_mask           = 0,
	.dst_timer_flags    = DISPATCH_TIMER_AFTER,
	.dst_action         = DISPATCH_UNOTE_ACTION_SOURCE_TIMER,
	.dst_size           = sizeof(struct dispatch_timer_source_refs_s),

	.dst_create         = _dispatch_source_timer_create,
	.dst_merge_evt      = _dispatch_source_merge_evt,
};

而和dispatch_activate()其实和dispatch_resume() 是一样的开启定时器。那么为什么看不到dispatch_source_set_event_handler来给timer设置handler呢?不放看一下dispatch_source_set_event_handler的源代码:

void
dispatch_source_set_event_handler(dispatch_source_t ds,
		dispatch_block_t handler)
{
	_dispatch_source_set_handler(ds, handler, DS_EVENT_HANDLER, true);
}

// 查看 _dispatch_source_set_handler

DISPATCH_NOINLINE
static void
_dispatch_source_set_handler(dispatch_source_t ds, void *func,
		uintptr_t kind, bool is_block)
{
	dispatch_continuation_t dc;

	dc = _dispatch_source_handler_alloc(ds, func, kind, is_block);

	if (_dispatch_lane_try_inactive_suspend(ds)) {
		_dispatch_source_handler_replace(ds, kind, dc);
		return _dispatch_lane_resume(ds, false);
	}

	dispatch_queue_flags_t dqf = _dispatch_queue_atomic_flags(ds);
	if (unlikely(dqf & DSF_STRICT)) {
		DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(kind, "Cannot change a handler of this source "
				"after it has been activated");
	}
	// Ignore handlers mutations past cancelation, it's harmless
	if ((dqf & DSF_CANCELED) == 0) {
		_dispatch_ktrace1(DISPATCH_PERF_post_activate_mutation, ds);
		if (kind == DS_REGISTN_HANDLER) {
			_dispatch_bug_deprecated("Setting registration handler after "
					"the source has been activated");
		} else if (func == NULL) {
			_dispatch_bug_deprecated("Clearing handler after "
					"the source has been activated");
		}
	}
	dc->dc_data = (void *)kind;
	_dispatch_barrier_trysync_or_async_f(ds, dc,
			_dispatch_source_set_handler_slow, 0);
}

可以看到最终还是封装成一个dispatch_continuation_t进行同步或者异步调用,而上面_dispatch_after直接构建了dispatch_continuation_t进行执行。

取消延迟执行的任务

使用dispatch_after还有一个问题就是取消问题,当然通常遇到了这种问题大部分答案就是使用下面的方式:

[self performSelector:@selector(myDelayedMethod) withObject: self afterDelay: desiredDelay];

[NSObject cancelPreviousPerformRequestsWithTarget: self selector:@selector(myDelayedMethod) object: self];

不过如果你使用的是iOS 8及其以上的版本,那么其实是可以取消的(如下),当然如果你还在支持iOS 8以下的版本不妨试试这个自定义的dispatch_cancelable_block_t类:

dispatch_block_t block = dispatch_block_create(DISPATCH_BLOCK_INHERIT_QOS_CLASS, ^{
    NSLog(@"dispatch_after...");

});
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 3*NSEC_PER_SEC), dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), block);

// 取消
dispatch_block_cancel(block);

如果你用的是swift那么恭喜你,很简单:

let dispatchItem = DispatchWorkItem {
    handler()
}
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + Double(Int64(3 * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))) / Double(NSEC_PER_SEC), execute: dispatchItem)

// 取消
dispatchItem.cancel()

dispatch_semaphore

信号量是线程同步操作中很常用的一个操作,常用的几个类型:
dispatch_semaphore_t:信号量类型
dispatch_semaphore_create:创建一个信号量
dispatch_semaphore_wait:发送一个等待信号,信号量-1,当信号量为0阻塞线程,大于0则开始执行后面的逻辑(也就是说执行dispatch_semaphore_wait前如果信号量<=0则阻塞,否则正常执行后面的逻辑)
dispatch_semaphore_signal:发送唤醒信号,信号量会+1

比如我们有个操作foo()在异步线程已经开始执行,同时可能用户会手动再次触发动作bar(),但是bar依赖foo完成则可以使用信号量:

- (void)foo {
    dispatch_semaphore_t semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{

        // 这里执行其他任务。。。
        // TODO:

        // 执行完发送信号
        dispatch_semaphore_signal(semaphore);
    });

    self->semaphore = semaphore;
}

- (void)bar {
    // 等待上面的操作完成,如果60s还没有完成则超时继续执行下面的逻辑
    dispatch_semaphore_wait(self.semaphore, dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 60*NSEC_PER_SEC));

    // 这里执行其他任务。。。但是依赖上面的操作完成
    // TODO:
}

那么信号量是如何实现的呢,不妨看一下它的源码:

// 首先看一下dispatch_semaphore_t,没错和上面一样本质就是 dispatch_semaphore_s,dsema_value代表当前信号量,dsema_orig表示初始信号量

DISPATCH_CLASS_DECL(semaphore, OBJECT);
struct dispatch_semaphore_s {
	DISPATCH_OBJECT_HEADER(semaphore);
	intptr_t volatile dsema_value;
	intptr_t dsema_orig;
	_dispatch_sema4_t dsema_sema;
};

// 查看 dispatch_semaphore_create 源码,其实并不复杂创建分配DISPATCH_VTABLE结构的空间,设置初始信号量,但是可以清楚的看到同样指定了目标队列,这是一个优先级为`DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT`的非过载队列

dispatch_semaphore_t
dispatch_semaphore_create(intptr_t value)
{
	dispatch_semaphore_t dsema;

	// If the internal value is negative, then the absolute of the value is
	// equal to the number of waiting threads. Therefore it is bogus to
	// initialize the semaphore with a negative value.
	if (value < 0) {
		return DISPATCH_BAD_INPUT;
	}

	dsema = _dispatch_object_alloc(DISPATCH_VTABLE(semaphore),
			sizeof(struct dispatch_semaphore_s));
	dsema->do_next = DISPATCH_OBJECT_LISTLESS;
	dsema->do_targetq = _dispatch_get_default_queue(false);
	dsema->dsema_value = value;
	_dispatch_sema4_init(&dsema->dsema_sema, _DSEMA4_POLICY_FIFO);
	dsema->dsema_orig = value;
	return dsema;
}

// 下面看一下 dispatch_semaphore_wait,首先`os_atomic_dec2o`信号量减一,当然递减之后信号量大于等于0它其实什么也不做继续执行就好了,但是如果不满足执行_dispatch_semaphore_wait_slow 等待信号量唤醒或者timeout超时

dispatch_semaphore_wait(dispatch_semaphore_t dsema, dispatch_time_t timeout)
{
	long value = os_atomic_dec2o(dsema, dsema_value, acquire);
	if (likely(value >= 0)) {
		return 0;
	}
	return _dispatch_semaphore_wait_slow(dsema, timeout);
}

// 看一下 _dispatch_semaphore_wait_slow 源码,这里首先对于两种极端情况:如果是DISPATCH_TIME_NOW则执行信号量+1并返回超时信号,DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER则一直等待,默认则调用 `_dispatch_sema4_timedwait`

		return true;

信号量常见crash

可以看到信号量在做线程同步时简单易用,不过有时候不经意间容易出错,比如下面的代码会出现EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0)错误,原因是之前的信号量还在使用:

    dispatch_semaphore_t semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(1);
    dispatch_semaphore_wait(semaphore, dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 1000*NSEC_PER_SEC));
    // semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);

为什么会这样呢?原因和上面dispatch_semaphore_create中的DISPATCH_VTABLE(semaphore)有关系,这个宏我们上面分析过,最终展开就是OS_dispatch_semaphore_class实例的引用,那么它的实例是什么呢?它当然是通过_dispatch_object_alloc创建的,沿着查找_dispatch_object_alloc的源码可以找到下面的代码:

static inline id
_os_objc_alloc(Class cls, size_t size)
{
	id obj;
	size -= sizeof(((struct _os_object_s *)NULL)->os_obj_isa);
	while (unlikely(!(obj = class_createInstance(cls, size)))) {
		_dispatch_temporary_resource_shortage();
	}
	return obj;
}

不难看出就是依靠class_createInstance创建一个OS_dispatch_semaphore_class实例,这个代码在libdispatch是找不到的,它在runtime源码中。不过在这里可以找到它的实例的定义(其实类似的通过vtable结构创建的实例都包含在libdispatch的init.c中):

DISPATCH_VTABLE_INSTANCE(semaphore,
	.do_type        = DISPATCH_SEMAPHORE_TYPE,
	.do_dispose     = _dispatch_semaphore_dispose,
	.do_debug       = _dispatch_semaphore_debug,
	.do_invoke      = _dispatch_object_no_invoke,
);

不难看出这个对象是包含一个dispose方法的,就是_dispatch_semaphore_dispose,我们可以看到它的源码,其实这里对我们排查问题最重要的就是if条件语句,信号量的当前值小于初始化,会发生闪退,因为信号量已经被释放了,如果此时没有crash其实就会意味着一直有线程在信号量等待:

void
_dispatch_semaphore_dispose(dispatch_object_t dou,
		DISPATCH_UNUSED bool *allow_free)
{
	dispatch_semaphore_t dsema = dou._dsema;

	if (dsema->dsema_value < dsema->dsema_orig) {
		DISPATCH_CLIENT_CRASH(dsema->dsema_orig - dsema->dsema_value,
				"Semaphore object deallocated while in use");
	}

	_dispatch_sema4_dispose(&dsema->dsema_sema, _DSEMA4_POLICY_FIFO);
}

dispatch_group

dispatch_group常常用来同步多个任务(注意和dispatch_barrier_sync不同的是它可以是多个队列的同步),所以其实上面先分析dispatch_semaphore也是这个原因,它本身是依靠信号量来完成的同步管理。典型的用法如下:

dispatch_queue_t globalQueue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();

dispatch_group_async(group, globalQueue, ^{
    sleep(10);
    NSLog(@"任务1完成");
});

dispatch_group_async(group, globalQueue, ^{
    NSLog(@"任务2完成");
});

dispatch_group_notify(group, globalQueue, ^{
    NSLog(@"两个任务全部完成");
});

dispatch_async(globalQueue, ^{
    // 等待5s超时后继续执行,此时dispatch_group中的任务未必全部完成,注意:dispatch_group_wait是同步操作必须放到异步队列否则阻塞当前线程
    dispatch_group_wait(group, dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 5*NSEC_PER_SEC));
    NSLog(@"等待到了上限,开始执行。。。");
});

下面看一下dispatch_group相关的源码:

// 和其他对象一样,dispatch_group_t的本质就是 dispatch_group_s指针,这里重点关注一下dg_state和dg_bits是一个计数器
struct dispatch_group_s {
	DISPATCH_OBJECT_HEADER(group);
	DISPATCH_UNION_LE(uint64_t volatile dg_state,
			uint32_t dg_bits,
			uint32_t dg_gen
	) DISPATCH_ATOMIC64_ALIGN;
	struct dispatch_continuation_s *volatile dg_notify_head;
	struct dispatch_continuation_s *volatile dg_notify_tail;

多个异步操作同步

上面第一个dispatch_group例子介绍的情况很简单,任务本身都是同步的,只是将一个同步任务放到了dispatch_group_async中,现实中这个操作可能是一个网络请求,你现在想让10个请求都完成后再执行某个操作怎么办(网络请求假设方法是request(url:String,complete:Callback))?你现在不可能在网络请求方法内部做出修改了,怎么保证操作同步呢?

之前看到过这种操作:

- (void)foo {
    dispatch_queue_t globalQueue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
    dispatch_group_t group = dispatch_group_create();
    dispatch_semaphore_t semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);

    for (int i=0; i<5; ++i) {
        dispatch_group_async(group, globalQueue, ^{
            [self bar:^{
                printf("task\n");
                dispatch_semaphore_signal(semaphore);

            }];
        });
    }


    dispatch_group_notify(group, globalQueue, ^{
        for (int i=0; i<5; ++i) {
            dispatch_semaphore_wait(semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
        }
        NSLog(@"complete");
    });
}

- (void)bar:(Callback)complete {
    dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_queue_create(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, nil);
    dispatch_async(queue, ^{
        sleep(arc4random_uniform(5));
        complete();
    });
}

其实这种方法基本没有用dispatch_group,直接用信号量就可以解决,有了上面的分析使用dispatch_enterdispatch_leave就可以了。

dispatch_apply

dispatch_apply设计的主要目的是提高并行能力(注意不是并发,等同于Swift中的DispatchQueue.concurrentPerform),所以一般我们用来并行执行多个结构类似的任务,比如:

void
dispatch_apply(size_t iterations, dispatch_queue_t dq, void (^work)(size_t))
{
	dispatch_apply_f(iterations, dq, work,
			(dispatch_apply_function_t)_dispatch_Block_invoke(work));
}

// 查看 dispatch_apply_f,对于width=1或者单核心数cpu其实这个是一个同步调用,核心方法就是_dispatch_apply_f

线程和锁

在GCD中其实总共有两个线程池进行线程管理,一个是主线程池,另一个是除了主线程池之外的线程池。主线程池由序列为1的主队列管理,使用objc.io上的一幅图表示如下:

iOS刨根问底-深入理解GCD-LMLPHP

大家都知道使用dispatch_sync很有可能会发生死锁那么这是为什么呢?

不妨回顾一下dispatch_sync的过程:

dispatch_sync
    _dispatch_sync_f:区分并发还是串行队列,如果是串行队列
        _dispatch_barrier_sync_f:是不是同一个队列,如果是
            _dispatch_sync_f_slow

重点在_dq_state_drain_locked_by(dq_state, dsc->dsc_waiter)这个条件,成立则会发生死锁,那么它成立的条件就是((lock_value ^ tid) & DLOCK_OWNER_MASK) == 0首先lock_value和tid进行异或操作,相同为0不同为1,然后和DLOCK_OWNER_MASK(0xfffffffc)进行按位与操作,一个为0则是0,所以若干lock_value和tid相同则会发生死锁。

补充

关于上面源码中的几个宏定义

__builtin_expect

__builtin_expect是一个针对编译器优化的内置函数,让编译更加优化。比如说我们会写这种代码:

if a {
    print(a)
} else {
    print(b)
}

如果我们更加倾向于使用a那么可将其设为默认值,极特殊情况下才会使用b条件。CPU读取指定是多条一起加载的,可能先加载进来的是a,那么如果遇到执行b的情况则再加载b,那么对于条件a的情况就造成了性能浪费。long __builtin_expect (long EXP, long C) 第一个参数是要预测变量,第二个参数是预测值,这样__builtin_expect(a,false)说明多数情况a应该是false,极少数情况可能是true,这样不至于造成性能浪费。其实对于编译器在汇编时会优化成if !a的形式:

if !a {
    print(b)
} else {
    print(a)
}

likely和unlikely

#define likely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 1)
#define unlikely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)

看了likely和unlikely可以了解,likely表示更大可能成立,unlikely表示更大可能不成立。likely就是 if(likely(x == 0)) 就是if (x==0)。

os_atomic_cmpxchg

第二个参数与第一个参数值比较,如果相等,第三个参数的值替换第一个参数的值。如果不相等,把第一个参数的值赋值到第二个参数上。

#define os_atomic_cmpxchg(p, e, v, m) \
		({ _os_atomic_basetypeof(p) _r = (e); \
		atomic_compare_exchange_strong_explicit(_os_atomic_c11_atomic(p), \
		&_r, v, memory_order_##m, memory_order_relaxed); })

os_atomic_store2o

将第二个参数保存到第一个参数中

#define os_atomic_store2o(p, f, v, m) \
		os_atomic_store(&(p)->f, (v), m)
#define os_atomic_store(p, v, m) \
		atomic_store_explicit(_os_atomic_c11_atomic(p), v, memory_order_##m)

os_atomic_inc_orig

第一个参数赋值为1

#define os_atomic_inc_orig(p, m) \
		os_atomic_add_orig((p), 1, m)
#define os_atomic_add_orig(p, v, m) \
		_os_atomic_c11_op_orig((p), (v), m, add, +)
#define _os_atomic_c11_op_orig(p, v, m, o, op) \
		atomic_fetch_##o##_explicit(_os_atomic_c11_atomic(p), v, \
		memory_order_##m)

os_atomic_inc_orig2o

第二个参数加1并返回

#define os_atomic_inc_orig2o(p, f, m) \
		os_atomic_add_orig2o(p, f, 1, m)
#define os_atomic_add_orig2o(p, f, v, m) \
		os_atomic_add_orig(&(p)->f, (v), m)

os_atomic_dec2o

第二个参数-1并返回

#define os_atomic_dec2o(p, f, m) \
		os_atomic_sub2o(p, f, 1, m)
#define os_atomic_sub2o(p, f, v, m) \
		os_atomic_sub(&(p)->f, (v), m)
