Automatic release tank

An overview of the

AutoReleasePool: automatic release pool

An automatic memory reclamation mechanism in OC that delays the timing of variable release added to AutoreleasePool.

Simply put, when an object is created, the variable is normally released immediately when it is out of scope. If you add it to the autoreleasepool pool, the object will not be released immediately, but will be released after Runloop goes to sleep/out of autoreleasepool scope.

The Runloop corresponding to the main thread sleeps from the start of the program until it is loaded, waiting for user interaction to wake up the Runloop.
A Runloop is launched for each user interaction, which handles all user clicks, touches, etc.
When Runloop listens for interaction events, it creates an automatic release pool and adds any delayed release objects to the pool.
Before a full Runloop is completed, a Release message is sent to all objects in the auto-release pool and then the auto-release pool is destroyed.

structure

use`cpp`File to explore

Create a Mac project and, in main.m, automatically generate the following code:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h> int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { @autoreleasepool { NSLog(@"Hello, World!" ); } return 0; }Copy the code

Convert to CPP file:

clang -rewrite-objc main.m -o main.cpp
Copy the code

Open the CPP file and go to the main function:

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { 
    /* @autoreleasepool */ {
        __AtAutoreleasePool __autoreleasepool; 
        
        NSLog((NSString *)&__NSConstantStringImpl__var_folders_jl_d06jlfkj2ws74_5g45kms07m0000gn_T_main_da0d58_mi_0); 
    }
    return 0; 
}
Copy the code

Autoreleasepool is commented out, but the scope remains;
Scope generates code to declare the __AtAutoreleasePool type.

Find the __AtAutoreleasePool definition:

struct __AtAutoreleasePool { __AtAutoreleasePool() {atautoreleasepoolobj = objc_autoreleasePoolPush(); } ~__AtAutoreleasePool() {objc_autoreleasePoolPop(atautoreleasepoolobj); } void * atautoreleasepoolobj; };Copy the code

__AtAutoreleasePool is a structure containing constructors and destructors;
Struct declaration, trigger constructor, call objc_autoreleasePoolPush;
When the structure is out of scope space, the destructor is triggered and the objc_autoreleasePoolPop function is called.

Explore using assembly code

Open the project, set a breakpoint at autoreleasepool in the main function, and view the assembly code:

Call the objc_autoreleasePoolPush function;
Call the objc_autoreleasePoolPop function.

Enter the objc_autoreleasePoolPush function:

The source code comes fromlibobjcFramework.

The source code to explore

Open objC4-818.2 and find the objc_autoreleasePoolPush function:

`AutoreleasePoolPage`

Find the definition of AutoreleasePoolPage and first see a comment like this:

/*********************************************************************** Autorelease pool implementation A thread's autorelease pool is a stack of pointers. Each pointer is either an object torelease, or POOL_BOUNDARY which is an autorelease pool boundary. Each pointer is either an object to be released, POOL_BOUNDARY A pool token is A pointer to the POOL_BOUNDARY for that pool. When the pool is popped every object hotter than the sentinel is released. The pool token is a pointer to the POOL_BOUNDARY for that pool. When The pool is removed, The stack is divided into a key -linked list of pages. Pages are added and deleted as necessary. The stack is split into a double-linked list of pages. Thread-local storage points to the hot page, where newly autoreleased objects are stored. Thread local storage to hot page which store the object of the new automatic release * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * /Copy the code

The following points can be learned from the comments:

Auto-release pools are related to threads;
The auto-release pool is a stack structure that stores Pointers;
The pointer is either an object to be released or POOL_BOUNDARY is an automatic release pool boundary.
- The sentinel object is used when the automatic release pool will carry the objectpopWhen operating, you need to know where the boundaries are, otherwise you will destroy someone else’s memory space. The sentinel object, on the other hand, exists as a boundary marker.
The auto-free pool stack space is divided into a double-linked list of pages that can be added and removed:
- Bidirectionally linked lists have both parent and child nodes in one page. Parent pages can be found forward, or child pages can be found backward.
Thread local storage points to hot pages that store the newly automatically freed objects:
- Stack principle, advanced after out, can be understood as the last page is a hot page. The object in it was finally takenpushAnd the first to bepop.

AutoreleasePoolPage inherited from AutoreleasePoolPageData:

class AutoreleasePoolPage : private AutoreleasePoolPageData { friend struct thread_data_t; public: static size_t const SIZE = #if PROTECT_AUTORELEASEPOOL PAGE_MAX_SIZE; // must be multiple of vm page size #else PAGE_MIN_SIZE; // size and alignment, power of 2 #endif private: static pthread_key_t const key = AUTORELEASE_POOL_KEY; static uint8_t const SCRIBBLE = 0xA3; // 0xA3A3A3A3 after releasing static size_t const COUNT = SIZE / sizeof(id); static size_t const MAX_FAULTS = 2; . }Copy the code

`AutoreleasePoolPageData`

Find the definition of AutoreleasePoolPageData:

class AutoreleasePoolPage; struct AutoreleasePoolPageData { #if SUPPORT_AUTORELEASEPOOL_DEDUP_PTRS struct AutoreleasePoolEntry { uintptr_t ptr: 48. uintptr_t count: 16; static const uintptr_t maxCount = 65535; // 2^ 16-1}; static_assert((AutoreleasePoolEntry) {.ptr = MACH_VM_MAX_ADDRESS }.ptr == MACH_VM_MAX_ADDRESS, "MACH_VM_MAX_ADDRESS doesn't fit into AutoreleasePoolEntry::ptr!" ); #endif magic_t const magic; __unsafe_unretained id *next; pthread_t const thread; AutoreleasePoolPage * const parent; AutoreleasePoolPage *child; uint32_t const depth; uint32_t hiwat; AutoreleasePoolPageData(__unsafe_unretained id* _next, pthread_t _thread, AutoreleasePoolPage* _parent, uint32_t _depth, uint32_t _hiwat) : magic(), next(_next), thread(_thread), parent(_parent), child(nil), depth(_depth), hiwat(_hiwat) { } };Copy the code

The structure contains the following member variables:

Magic: used to check whether the structure of AutoreleasePoolPage is complete.
Next: points to the next location of the newly added Autoreleased object and executes begin() when initialized;
Thread: points to the current thread.
Parent: points to the parent node, the parent value of the first node is nil;
Child: points to a child node, and the child value of the last node is nil;
Depth: indicates the depth. It starts at 0 and increases by 1.
Hiwat: indicates the mark of the maximum amount of high water mark.

Print structure

Set up the test project and close ARC mode:

Open the main.m file and write the following code:

extern void _objc_autoreleasePoolPrint(void); 

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool { 
        NSObject *objc = [[[NSObject alloc] init] autorelease]; 
        
        _objc_autoreleasePoolPrint(); 
    }
    
    return 0; 
}
Copy the code

Import the _objc_autoreleasePoolPrint function to print the structure of the automatic release pool.
Create an NSObject instance object and add it to the automatic release pool.
Call the _objc_autoreleasePoolPrint function to print the structure.

Output the following:

According to the structure of automatic release pool, traversal through bidirectional linked listpage, read in sequencepageAnd print the contents of.

Object pressure stack

Enter the objc_autoreleasePoolPush function:

void * 
objc_autoreleasePoolPush(void) {
    return AutoreleasePoolPage::push(); 
}
Copy the code

Enter the push function in the AutoreleasePoolPage namespace:

static inline void *push() { 
    id *dest;
    if (slowpath(DebugPoolAllocation)) {
        // Each autorelease pool starts on a new pool page. 
        dest = autoreleaseNewPage(POOL_BOUNDARY); 
    } else { 
        dest = autoreleaseFast(POOL_BOUNDARY); 
    } 
    ASSERT(dest == EMPTY_POOL_PLACEHOLDER || *dest == POOL_BOUNDARY); 
    return dest; 
}
Copy the code

DebugPoolAllocation: stops when the automatic release pool is ejected in sequence and allows the heap debugger to track the automatic release pool;
If not, call autoreleaseNewPage and start with a new pool page.
Otherwise, the autoreleaseFast function is called to push the sentinel object onto the stack.

`autoreleaseFast`

Enter the autoreleaseFast function:

static inline id *autoreleaseFast(id obj) { 
    AutoreleasePoolPage *page = hotPage();
    if (page && !page->full()) { 
        return page->add(obj); 
    } else if (page) { 
        return autoreleaseFullPage(obj, page); 
    } else { 
        return autoreleaseNoPage(obj);
    } 
}
Copy the code

If a page exists and is not full, call add.
If a page exists but the storage is full, call the autoreleaseFullPage function.
Otherwise, there is no page and the autoreleaseNoPage function is called.

`autoreleaseNoPage`

Enter the autoreleaseNoPage function:

static __attribute__((noinline)) id *autoreleaseNoPage(id obj) { // "No page" could mean no pool has been pushed // or an empty placeholder pool has been pushed and has no contents yet ASSERT(! hotPage()); bool pushExtraBoundary = false; . // We are pushing an object or a non-placeholder'd pool. // Install the first page. AutoreleasePoolPage *page = new AutoreleasePoolPage(nil); setHotPage(page); // Push a boundary on behalf of the previously-placeholder'd pool. if (pushExtraBoundary) { page->add(POOL_BOUNDARY); } // Push the requested object or pool. return page->add(obj); }Copy the code

Call the AutoreleasePoolPage constructor to create a new page.
Set to hot page;
PushExtraBoundary = YES, the sentry object is pushed;
Object pushdown.

Enter the AutoreleasePoolPage constructor:

AutoreleasePoolPage(AutoreleasePoolPage *newParent) : AutoreleasePoolPageData(begin(), objc_thread_self(), newParent, newParent ? 1+newParent->depth : 0, newParent ? newParent->hiwat : 0) { if (objc::PageCountWarning ! = -1) { checkTooMuchAutorelease(); } if (parent) { parent->check(); ASSERT(! parent->child); parent->unprotect(); parent->child = this; parent->protect(); } protect(); }Copy the code

Initialize with the parent class AutoreleasePoolPageData;
Begin: Obtains the start position of object pressing.
Objc_thread_self: gets the current thread through TLS;
Linked bidirectional lists.

Enter the begin function:

id * begin() { 
     return (id *) ((uint8_t *)this+sizeof(*this));
 }
Copy the code

Sizeof (*this) : The size depends on the member variable in its own structure;
Returns the actual starting address of the object that can be pushed, below the member variable.

Enter the AutoreleasePoolPageData definition:

struct AutoreleasePoolPageData { ... magic_t const magic; __unsafe_unretained id *next; pthread_t const thread; AutoreleasePoolPage * const parent; AutoreleasePoolPage *child; uint32_t const depth; uint32_t hiwat; . };Copy the code

Magic: 16 bytes;
Next, Thread, parent, child: 8 bytes each;
Depth and hiwat: 4 bytes each;
A total of 56 bytes.

Enter the definition of magic_t:

struct magic_t { static const uint32_t M0 = 0xA1A1A1A1; # define M1 "AUTORELEASE!" static const size_t M1_len = 12; uint32_t m[4]; . # undef M1 };Copy the code

The static members are stored in the static area and do not occupy the size of the structure.
The 16 bytes come from the Uint32_t array.

Enter the objc_thread_self function:

static inline pthread_t objc_thread_self() {
    return (pthread_t)tls_get_direct(_PTHREAD_TSD_SLOT_PTHREAD_SELF);
}
Copy the code

throughtlsGets the current thread.

`autoreleaseFullPage`

Enter the autoreleaseFullPage function:

id *autoreleaseFullPage(id obj, AutoreleasePoolPage *page) { 
    // The hot page is full. 
    // Step to the next non-full page, adding a new page if necessary. 
    // Then add the object to that page. 
    ASSERT(page == hotPage()); 
    ASSERT(page->full() || DebugPoolAllocation); 
    
    do { 
        if (page->child) page = page->child; 
        else page = new AutoreleasePoolPage(page); 
    } while (page->full()); 
    
    setHotPage(page); 
    return page->add(obj);
}
Copy the code

Iterate through the list to find the last blank child page;
Create a new page for it;
Set to hot page;
Add objects.

The following data structures are formed:

`add`

Enter the add function:

id *add(id obj) { ASSERT(! full()); unprotect(); id *ret; . ret = next; // faster than `return next-1` because of aliasing *next++ = obj; #if SUPPORT_AUTORELEASEPOOL_DEDUP_PTRS // Make sure obj fits in the bits available for it ASSERT(((AutoreleasePoolEntry *)ret)->ptr == (uintptr_t)obj); #endif done: protect(); return ret; }Copy the code

*next++ for memory translation;
Push objects onto the stack.

`autoreleaseNewPage`

Enter the autoreleaseNewPage function:

id 
*autoreleaseNewPage(id obj) { 
    AutoreleasePoolPage *page = hotPage(); 
    if (page) 
        return autoreleaseFullPage(obj, page); 
    else 
        return autoreleaseNoPage(obj);
}
Copy the code

Get hot page;
If yes, call autoreleaseFullPage;
Otherwise, there is no page and the autoreleaseNoPage function is called.

`autorelease`

Enter the objc_autorelease function:

id 
objc_autorelease(id obj) {
    if (obj->isTaggedPointerOrNil()) return obj; 
    return obj->autorelease(); 
}
Copy the code

The current object is TaggedPointer or nil and returns directly;
Otherwise, the object’s autorelease function is called.

Enter the autorelease function:

inline id objc_object::autorelease() { ASSERT(! isTaggedPointer()); if (fastpath(! ISA()->hasCustomRR())) { return rootAutorelease(); } return ((id(*)(objc_object *, SEL))objc_msgSend)(this, @selector(autorelease)); }Copy the code

If it is a custom class, callrootAutoreleaseFunction.

Enter rootAutorelease – > rootAutorelease2 – > AutoreleasePoolPage: : autorelease function:

inline id objc_object::rootAutorelease() { if (isTaggedPointer()) return (id)this; if (prepareOptimizedReturn(ReturnAtPlus1)) return (id)this; return rootAutorelease2(); } id objc_object::rootAutorelease2() { ASSERT(! isTaggedPointer()); return AutoreleasePoolPage::autorelease((id)this); } static inline id autorelease(id obj) { ASSERT(! obj->isTaggedPointerOrNil()); id *dest __unused = autoreleaseFast(obj); #if SUPPORT_AUTORELEASEPOOL_DEDUP_PTRS ASSERT(! dest || dest == EMPTY_POOL_PLACEHOLDER || (id)((AutoreleasePoolEntry *)dest)->ptr == obj); #else ASSERT(! dest || dest == EMPTY_POOL_PLACEHOLDER || *dest == obj); #endif return obj; }Copy the code

callautoreleaseFastFunction, object push.

Page pool capacity

The auto-release pool stores objects in paging mode, because the value of the object will affect the current page in the process of frequent pressing and unloading, and does not affect the entire auto-release pool.

And automatically release pool paging management, the address before each page can be discontinuous, they can use bidirectional linked lists to find the parent page and child page. If all objects are stored on one page, each capacity expansion is tedious and time-consuming to ensure the continuity of addresses:

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { 
    @autoreleasepool {
        for (int i = 0; i < 505; i++) {
            NSObject *objc = [[[NSObject alloc] init] autorelease];
