问题

在前面讲goroutine的时候，自然会想到goroutine之间的同步问题。如果没有同步通信机制，那么goroutine的作用就非常有限了。

其他编程语言

Java的线程同步几乎没用过，这里不谈。
Go的同步机制，即本文将要描述的channel，和Python的pipe和类似；自然也和Linux C的piple一样，见Advanced Linux Programming P110 5.4 Pipe。——在Linux C中，和Introducing Go类似的入门级书籍，自然首推Advanced Linux Programming。

注：这种轻量级的书籍对于扫盲是非常好的，C++的就如同Essential C++，薄而全，查阅方便，可以快速掌握概念。另一种风格的就是Head First系列。

示例

package main
import "fmt"
import "time"

func pinger(c chan string) {
    for i := 0; ; i++ {
        c <- "ping"
    }
}

func printer(c chan string) {
    for {
        msg := <- c
        fmt.Println(msg)
        time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
    }
}

func waitKey() {
    var input string 
    fmt.Scanln(&input)
    fmt.Println("Entered:", input)
}

func main() {
    var c chan string = make(chan string)

    go pinger(c)
    go printer(c)

    waitKey()
}

代码分析

如果运行例子，会发现屏幕一直打印Ping字符串。

在代码中，创建了两个goroutine，一个是pinger，一个是printer。前者相当于生产者，后者相当于消费者。两者通过channel(即 c chan string)相连（相互通信）。pinger一直往channel中写入数据，而printer一直读取数据，并打印到屏幕上。——至此，我们可以认为到chan是一种新的数据类型，而具体到本例，这个channel放置的是string这种数据。

这里的main()调用了waitKey()，其原因在goroutine已经提到。

问题：
* channel是不是还可以放其他的数据类型呢？
* channel是不是通常所谓的生产者消费者模型，即pinger尽力生产（一直往channel中写数据），printer尽力消费。因为printer有sleep，那么会不会pinger生产的速度大于printer消费的速度？最后造成channel溢出？

为此，对代码做如下改造。

示例优化

package main
import "fmt"
import "time"

type UserDefinedData struct {
    msg string 
    id  int 
}

func pinger(c chan UserDefinedData) {
    data := UserDefinedData{"ping", 0}
    sentCounter := 0
    for i := 0; ; i++ {
        sentCounter++
        data.id = sentCounter 
        c <- data 

        fmt.Println("Sent count:", sentCounter)
    }
}

func printer(c chan UserDefinedData) {
    receivedCounter := 0
    for {
        receivedData := <- c
        fmt.Println(receivedData)

        receivedCounter++;
        fmt.Println("Received count:", receivedCounter)

        time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
    }
}

func waitKey() {
    var input string 
    fmt.Scanln(&input)
    fmt.Println("Entered:", input)
}

func main() {
    var c chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData)

    go pinger(c)
    go printer(c)

    waitKey()
}

输出结果：

D:\examples>go run helloworld.go
{ping 1}
Received count: 1
Sent count: 1
{ping 2}
Received count: 2
Sent count: 2
{ping 3}
Received count: 3
Sent count: 3
{ping 4}
Received count: 4
Sent count: 4
{ping 5}
Received count: 5
Sent count: 5
{ping 6}
Received count: 6
Sent count: 6
{ping 7}
Received count: 7

结论：

channel只是一种通讯的通道，其中可以防止任何类型的数据。——当然同一channel，只能是任意固定的数据类型。（是不是对“任意固定”这个术语很熟悉？）
channel除了生产者消费者模型的含义，还具有同步的机制。P90: When pinger attempts to send a message on the channel, it will wait until printer is ready to receive the message (this is known as blocking).

至此，可以理解Introducing Go - Channel这一节的第一句话：

Channels provide a way for two goroutines to communicate with each other and synchronize their execution.

channel

至此，给出channel的定义。直接拷贝Introducing Go的内容：

A channel type is represented with the keyword chan followed by the type of the things that are passed on the channel (in this case, we are passing strings).
The left arrow operator (<-) is used to send and receive messages on the channel.

需要注意的是，这里只有”<-“一种操作符，没有所谓的”->”。但既可以用作send，也可以用作receive，这取决于channel对象放在那边。例如：

c <- “ping” means send “ping”.
msg := <- c means receive a message and store it in msg.

无厘头试验

进一步地，如果把代码改成下面的样子：

var c chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData)
var c2 chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData)

go pinger(c)
go printer(c2)

即pinger和printer使用不同的channel。亦或只有pinger一个goroutine：

var c chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData)
//var c2 chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData)

go pinger(c)
//go printer(c2)

如果运行，发现pinger&printer都没有打印输出。这是否可以得到另一个结论：如果channel没有对应的输入（生产者）或输出（消费者），则channel不工作。为此，只需要重读下面一句话（前面已经提及过）：

When pinger attempts to send a message on the channel, it will wait until printer is ready to receive the message (this is known as blocking).

m-n映射关系

前面讲到了channel必须有一个生产者和一个消费者。接下来的问题是，一个channel是否只能对应一个生产者或消费者。

为此，代码改成下面的样子（打印顺序有调整）。

package main
import "fmt"
import "time"

type UserDefinedData struct {
    msg string 
    id  int 
}

func sender(c chan UserDefinedData, id string) {
    data := UserDefinedData{id, 0}
    sentCounter := 0
    for i := 0; ; i++ {
        sentCounter++
        data.id = sentCounter 

        fmt.Println("[", id, "]Sent count:", sentCounter)
        c <- data 
    }
}

func receiver(c chan UserDefinedData, id string) {
    receivedCounter := 0
    for {
        receivedData := <- c
        fmt.Println("[", id, "]", receivedData)

        receivedCounter++;
        fmt.Println("[", id, "]Received count:", receivedCounter)

        time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
    }
}

func waitKey() {
    var input string 
    fmt.Scanln(&input)
    fmt.Println("Entered:", input)
}

func main() {
    var c chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData)

    go sender(c, "sender-1")
    go sender(c, "sender-2")
    go receiver(c, "receiver-1")
    go receiver(c, "receiver-2")

    waitKey()
}

即现在为channel绑定了2个sender和2个receiver（函数名称做了优化）。运行时的（一种）打印：

D:\examples>go run helloworld.go
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 1
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 1
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 1}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 1
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 2
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 2
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-2 1}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 1
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 2}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 2
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 3
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-1 2}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 2
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 3
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 3}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 3
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 4
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-1 3}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 3
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 4
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 4}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 4
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 5
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-1 4}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 4
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 5
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 6
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 5}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 5
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-1 5}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 5
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 6
Entered:
exit status 2

D:\examples>

看着打印稍微有些乱，所以捋一捋：

//sender-1 -> receiver-1
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 1
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 1}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 1

//sender-2 -> receiver-2
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 1
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-2 1}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 1

//sender-2 -> receiver-1
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 2
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 2}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 2

//sender-1 -> receiver-2
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 2
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-1 2}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 2

//sender-2 -> receiver-1
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 3
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 3}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 3

//sender-1 -> receiver-2
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 3
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-1 3}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 3

[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 4
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 4}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 4

[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 4
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-1 4}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 4

[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 5
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 5}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 5

[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 5
[ receiver-2 ] {sender-1 5}
[ receiver-2 ]Received count: 5

[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 6
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 6
...

结论如下：
- 如果一个channel绑定了多个sender或多个receiver，那么sender和receiver之间的连接关系是随机的。

如果注释掉一个receiver，比如：

//go receiver(c, "receiver-2")

则打印为：

D:\examples>go run helloworld.go
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 1
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 1
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 1}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 1
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 2
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 1}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 2
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 2
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 2}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 3
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 3
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 2}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 4
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 3
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 3}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 5
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 4
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 3}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 6
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 4
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 5
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 4}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 7
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 4}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 8
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 5
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 5}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 9
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 6
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 5}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 10
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 6
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 6}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 11
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 7
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-2 6}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 12
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 7
Entered:
exit status 2

异步

多线程通信、进程间通信都涉及到同步和异步的问题。在前面的代码中，用到的都是同步，如前面提到的blocking。Go有种变相的“异步”（其实不彻底）实现机制，即为channel设置一个缓冲区大小。缺省情况下，缓冲区大小为1。在sender断开了，发出的数据只要没有被receiver接收，它就不能继续发送。如果缓冲区设置为n，那么sender就可以连续发送至多n个到缓冲区，或者说只要缓冲区的数据量少于n个，sender就可以发送。

示例代码

为了拷贝方便，代码重复如下：——主要是main部分只变量了sender-1和receiver-1.

package main
import "fmt"
import "time"

type UserDefinedData struct {
    msg string 
    id  int 
}

func sender(c chan UserDefinedData, id string) {
    data := UserDefinedData{id, 0}
    sentCounter := 0
    for i := 0; ; i++ {
        sentCounter++
        data.id = sentCounter 

        fmt.Println("[", id, "]Sent count:", sentCounter)
        c <- data 
    }
}

func receiver(c chan UserDefinedData, id string) {
    receivedCounter := 0
    for {
        receivedData := <- c
        fmt.Println("[", id, "]", receivedData)

        receivedCounter++;
        fmt.Println("[", id, "]Received count:", receivedCounter)

        time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
    }
}

func waitKey() {
    var input string 
    fmt.Scanln(&input)
    fmt.Println("Entered:", input)
}

func main() {
    var c chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData, 3)

    go sender(c, "sender-1")
    go receiver(c, "receiver-1")

    waitKey()
}

运行结果

D:\examples>go run helloworld.go
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 1
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 2
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 3
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 4
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 1}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 1
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 5
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 2}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 2
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 6
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 3}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 3
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 7
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 4}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 4
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 8
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 5}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 5
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 9
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 6}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 6
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 10
[ receiver-1 ] {sender-1 7}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 7
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 11
Entered:
exit status 2

D:\examples>

sender连续发送1/2/3/4，并非是指receiver还没有接收的情况下可以往缓冲区发送4个。事实上，receiver已经接收了一个，但fmt.Println延时。——涉及到多线程多进程的调试问题。

direction & select

接下来简要描述channel的两位两个特性。

direction

可以指定channel是双向的还是单向的，是只能发送、还是只能接收。在前面的示例代码中，缺省都是双向。下面是单向channel的使用示例：

func pinger(c chan<- string)
func printer(c <-chan string)

chan<-: sender；此时不能接收数据。
<-chan: receiver; 此时不能发送数据。

建议在代码中明确方向，以提高代码可读性。

select

前面讨论了一个channel上面的m-n映射关系。这里的select则是多个sender+channel，一个receiver。对于receiver，Go提供了一种机制可以识别出来自于哪个sender。此即select语法。

代码

package main
import "fmt"
import "time"

type UserDefinedData struct {
    msg string 
    id  int 
}

func sender(c chan UserDefinedData, id string) {
    data := UserDefinedData{id, 0}
    sentCounter := 0
    for i := 0; ; i++ {
        sentCounter++
        data.id = sentCounter 

        fmt.Println("[", id, "]Sent count:", sentCounter)
        c <- data 
    }
}

func receiver(c1 chan UserDefinedData, c2 chan UserDefinedData, id string) {
    receivedCounter := 0
    for {
        select {
        case receivedData1 := <- c1:
            fmt.Println("[", id, "] received data from c1:", receivedData1)
        case receivedData2 := <- c2:
            fmt.Println("[", id, "] received data from c2:", receivedData2)
        }

        receivedCounter++;
        fmt.Println("[", id, "]Received count:", receivedCounter)

        time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
    }
}

func waitKey() {
    var input string 
    fmt.Scanln(&input)
    fmt.Println("Entered:", input)
}

func main() {
    var c1 chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData)
    var c2 chan UserDefinedData = make(chan UserDefinedData)

    go sender(c1, "sender-1")
    go sender(c2, "sender-2")
    go receiver(c1, c2, "receiver-1")
    //go receiver(c1, c2, "receiver-2")

    waitKey()
}

运行结果

D:\examples>go run helloworld.go
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 1
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 1
[ receiver-1 ] received data from c2: {sender-2 1}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 1
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 2
[ receiver-1 ] received data from c2: {sender-2 2}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 2
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 3
[ receiver-1 ] received data from c2: {sender-2 3}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 3
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 4
[ receiver-1 ] received data from c2: {sender-2 4}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 4
[ sender-2 ]Sent count: 5
[ receiver-1 ] received data from c1: {sender-1 1}
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 2
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 5
[ receiver-1 ] received data from c1: {sender-1 2}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 6
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 3
[ receiver-1 ] received data from c1: {sender-1 3}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 7
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 4
[ receiver-1 ] received data from c1: {sender-1 4}
[ receiver-1 ]Received count: 8
[ sender-1 ]Sent count: 5
Entered:

可以把main()中的下面注释打开，观察并分析运行结果：

//go receiver(c1, c2, "receiver-2")

小结

要点如下：

channel为goroutine提供了一种通信机制
channel缺省为双向通信，也可以指定<-chan或chan<-以明确单一的方向
channel缺省是阻塞式通信
channel缺省capability为1，可以make(chan, capability)实现异步通信
receiver可以通过select确定使用的是哪个channel
