用于公开缓存数据的同步线程安全API

我们提供了一个包,它与许多API不是线程安全的其他包接口。我们的包的API完全基于消息,因此是异步的,以允许我们包的用户的线程安全。因此,我们的包包装了一堆非线程安全的包,并提供了一个线程安全的API。这意味着我们的包的用户可以从任何线程与我们的包进行交互。

我们希望在保持线程安全的同时为我们的包添加同步API。我做了一些研究,并提出了两种可能的模式,我将在下面分享。我对这两种方法都不满意,所以我想知道社区是否可以对我们可以使用的模式提出更多建议。请注意,下面的代码用于设计和说明目的(c ++伪代码),因此无意编译。

方法1 - 打包用户依赖注入数据访问类到我们的包。我们使用运行时类型推断来访问这些类。

// Define an interface class for all data accessor classes
class DataAccessor
{

}

// Some random data
class FooData
{
    int foo;
    int bar;
}

// A concrete data accessor
class FooDataAccessor : public DataAccessor
{
public:
    FooData getFooData()
    {
        FooData fooDataCopy;
        {
            //Locks cachedFooData in this scope
            ScopedCriticalSection _(dataCriticalSection);
            fooDataCopy.foo = cachedFooData.foo;
            fooDataCopy.bar = cachedFooData.bar;
        }
        return fooDataCopy;
    }
    void setFooData(FooData& fooData)
    {
        //Locks cachedFooData in this scope
        ScopedCriticalSection _(dataCriticalSection);
        cachedFooData.foo = dooData.foo;
        cachedFooData.bar = dooData.bar;
    }

private:
    FooData cachedFooData;
    CriticalSection dataCriticalSection; //Use this for locking cachedFooData to set the data.
}

class OurPackage
{
    OurPackage(std::vector<DataAccessor*>); //constructor which is injected the data accessors so that our package customers can own their lifecycle.
}

// How package users would inject the data accessors into our package, then later access the data
int main()
{
    std::vector<DataAccessor*> dataAccessors;
    //The package customer now populates the data Accessors with the instances they need.
    dataAccessors.push_back(new FooDataAccessor());        

    auto package = new OurPackage(dataAccessors);

    // How package users access the data, assume FooDataAccessor was at the front
    auto fooAccessor = dataAccessors.front();
    if (fooAccessor)
    {
        FooData data = fooAccessor->getFooData();
    }
}

// In OurPackage, set the actual data in caches
for (DataAccessor* dataAccessor : dataAccessors)
{
    //Use RTTI to find the instance we want
    if (auto dataAccessorTypeWeWant = dynamic_cast<DataAccessorTypeWeWant*>(dataAccessor) != nullptr)
    {
        //Set the data on dataAccessorTypeWeWant 
        //For example, set FooData
        FooData fooData;
        fooData.foo = 1;
        fooData.bar = 2;
        dataAccessorTypeWeWant.setFooData(fooData);
        break;
    }
}

2 - Use a singleton pattern instead

如果数据访问缓存是单例,则包用户不必管理这些类的生命周期,也不必担心将指针传递给应用程序周围的数据访问缓存实例。这有单身人士的所有陷阱。

无论您选择何种模式,您都应该使用库<atomic>中的原子类型,这是自C ++ 11以来可用的功能。使用此类型,您可以创建线程安全变量,例如:

// Some random data
class FooData
{
    std::atomic<int>  foo;
    std::atomic<int>  bar;
}

我从CPlusPlus分享了这个库的描述:

  

原子类型是封装一个值的类型,该值的访问保证不会导致数据争用,并且可用于同步不同线程之间的内存访问。

这是一个样本。如果您需要按值复制。

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <atomic>
#include <mutex>

// Undefine to see data corruptions
#define USING_LOCK

std::atomic<int> atomic_i;

class FooData {
public:
    FooData() :foo(atomic_i.fetch_add(1, std::memory_order_relaxed)), bar(foo) {}
    ~FooData() { if (foo != bar) { std::cout << "Data corrupted!\n"; } }
private:
    int foo;
    int bar;
};

class FooDataAccessor {
public:
    FooData getFooData() {
#ifdef USING_LOCK
        std::lock_guard<std::mutex> l(_lock);
#endif // USING_LOCK
        return cachedFooData;
    }
    void setFooData(const FooData& fooData) {
#ifdef USING_LOCK
        std::lock_guard<std::mutex> l(_lock);
#endif // USING_LOCK
        cachedFooData = fooData;
    }

private:
    FooData cachedFooData;
#ifdef USING_LOCK
    std::mutex _lock;
#endif // USING_LOCK
};

void f(FooDataAccessor* accessor) {
    for (size_t i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
        accessor->getFooData();
        accessor->setFooData(FooData());
    }
}

int main() {
    FooDataAccessor accessor;
    std::vector<std::thread> v;
    for (size_t i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        v.emplace_back(f, &accessor);
    }
    for (auto& t : v) {
        t.join();
    }
}
