[size=medium][b]引言[/b][/size]
上一篇我们看了抽象字节buf分配器，先来回顾一下：
创建字节buf主要根据字节buf分配器的directByDefault属性，来决定分配buf是否为direct类型还是heap类型；创建direct和heap buf实际通过newDirectBuffer和newHeapBuffer方法，待子类扩展。看出ioBuffer方法创建的字节buf，优先为direct类型，当系统平台不支持Unsafe时，才为heap类型；创建复合buf主要根据字节buf分配器的directByDefault属性，来决定分配buf是否为direct类型还是heap类型；创建复合buf时，如果资源泄漏探测功能开启，则追踪复合buf内存泄漏情况。

今天我们来看抽象字节buf分配器一个具体实现非池类字节buf分配器UnpooledByteBufAllocator

/**
 * Simplistic {@link ByteBufAllocator} implementation that does not pool anything.
 */
public final class UnpooledByteBufAllocator extends AbstractByteBufAllocator implements ByteBufAllocatorMetricProvider {
    //字节buf分配器Metric
    private final UnpooledByteBufAllocatorMetric metric = new UnpooledByteBufAllocatorMetric();
    private final boolean disableLeakDetector;//是否关闭资源泄漏探测

    /**
     * Default instance which uses leak-detection for direct buffers.
     默认非池类字节buf分配器
     */
    public static final UnpooledByteBufAllocator DEFAULT =
            new UnpooledByteBufAllocator(PlatformDependent.directBufferPreferred());

    /**
     * Create a new instance which uses leak-detection for direct buffers.
     *
     * @param preferDirect {@code true} if {@link #buffer(int)} should try to allocate a direct buffer rather than
     *                     a heap buffer
     */
    public UnpooledByteBufAllocator(boolean preferDirect) {
        this(preferDirect, false);
    }

    /**
     * Create a new instance
     *
     * @param preferDirect {@code true} if {@link #buffer(int)} should try to allocate a direct buffer rather than
     *                     a heap buffer
     * @param disableLeakDetector {@code true} if the leak-detection should be disabled completely for this
     *                            allocator. This can be useful if the user just want to depend on the GC to handle
     *                            direct buffers when not explicit released.
     */
    public UnpooledByteBufAllocator(boolean preferDirect, boolean disableLeakDetector) {
        super(preferDirect);
        this.disableLeakDetector = disableLeakDetector;
    }
}

来看一下度量器

private static final class UnpooledByteBufAllocatorMetric implements ByteBufAllocatorMetric {
    final LongCounter directCounter = PlatformDependent.newLongCounter();//direct内存使用计数器
    final LongCounter heapCounter = PlatformDependent.newLongCounter();//Heap内存使用计数器
    @Override
    public long usedHeapMemory() {
        return heapCounter.value();
    }
    @Override
    public long usedDirectMemory() {
        return directCounter.value();
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return StringUtil.simpleClassName(this) +
                "(usedHeapMemory: " + usedHeapMemory() + "; usedDirectMemory: " + usedDirectMemory() + ')';
    }
}

//LongCounter Long计数器

/**
 * Counter for long.
 */
public interface LongCounter {
    void add(long delta);
    void increment();
    void decrement();
    long value();
}

来看创建堆buf

@Override
protected ByteBuf newHeapBuffer(int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
    return PlatformDependent.hasUnsafe() ?
            new InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf(this, initialCapacity, maxCapacity) :
            new InstrumentedUnpooledHeapByteBuf(this, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
}

堆buf有两种，我们分别来看
先看InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf
1.
//InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf

private static final class InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf extends UnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf {
    InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf(UnpooledByteBufAllocator alloc, int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
        super(alloc, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
    }

    @Override
    byte[] allocateArray(int initialCapacity) {
        byte[] bytes = super.allocateArray(initialCapacity);
	//更新buf分配器Heap内存使用量
        ((UnpooledByteBufAllocator) alloc()).incrementHeap(bytes.length);
        return bytes;
    }

    @Override
    void freeArray(byte[] array) {
        int length = array.length;
        super.freeArray(array);
	//释放buf分配器Heap内存使用量
        ((UnpooledByteBufAllocator) alloc()).decrementHeap(length);
    }
}

//UnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf

class UnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf extends UnpooledHeapByteBuf {

    /**
     * Creates a new heap buffer with a newly allocated byte array.
     *
     * @param initialCapacity the initial capacity of the underlying byte array
     * @param maxCapacity the max capacity of the underlying byte array
     */
    UnpooledUnsafeHeapByteBuf(ByteBufAllocator alloc, int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
        super(alloc, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
    }
    ...
}

2.
再来看另一种堆buf InstrumentedUnpooledHeapByteBuf
//InstrumentedUnpooledHeapByteBuf

private static final class InstrumentedUnpooledHeapByteBuf extends UnpooledHeapByteBuf {
    InstrumentedUnpooledHeapByteBuf(UnpooledByteBufAllocator alloc, int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
        super(alloc, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
    }

    @Override
    byte[] allocateArray(int initialCapacity) {
        byte[] bytes = super.allocateArray(initialCapacity);
	//更新buf分配器Heap内存使用量
        ((UnpooledByteBufAllocator) alloc()).incrementHeap(bytes.length);
        return bytes;
    }

    @Override
    void freeArray(byte[] array) {
        int length = array.length;
        super.freeArray(array);
	//释放buf分配器Heap内存使用量
        ((UnpooledByteBufAllocator) alloc()).decrementHeap(length);
    }
}

我们来看一下Unpooled堆字节buf：

/**
 * Big endian Java heap buffer implementation.
 */
public class UnpooledHeapByteBuf extends AbstractReferenceCountedByteBuf {

    private final ByteBufAllocator alloc;
    byte[] array;//存储数据的字节数组
    private ByteBuffer tmpNioBuf;//临时nio 字节部分

    /**
     * Creates a new heap buffer with a newly allocated byte array.
     *
     * @param initialCapacity the initial capacity of the underlying byte array
     * @param maxCapacity the max capacity of the underlying byte array
     */
    protected UnpooledHeapByteBuf(ByteBufAllocator alloc, int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
        super(maxCapacity);

        checkNotNull(alloc, "alloc");

        if (initialCapacity > maxCapacity) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format(
                    "initialCapacity(%d) > maxCapacity(%d)", initialCapacity, maxCapacity));
        }

        this.alloc = alloc;
        setArray(allocateArray(initialCapacity));
        setIndex(0, 0);
    }

    /**
     * Creates a new heap buffer with an existing byte array.
     *
     * @param initialArray the initial underlying byte array
     * @param maxCapacity the max capacity of the underlying byte array
     */
    protected UnpooledHeapByteBuf(ByteBufAllocator alloc, byte[] initialArray, int maxCapacity) {
        super(maxCapacity);

        checkNotNull(alloc, "alloc");
        checkNotNull(initialArray, "initialArray");

        if (initialArray.length > maxCapacity) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(String.format(
                    "initialCapacity(%d) > maxCapacity(%d)", initialArray.length, maxCapacity));
        }

        this.alloc = alloc;
        setArray(initialArray);
        setIndex(0, initialArray.length);
    }
    //分配initialCapacity容量的字节数组
    byte[] allocateArray(int initialCapacity) {
        return new byte[initialCapacity];
    }
    ...
    @Override
    public ByteBuf getBytes(int index, byte[] dst, int dstIndex, int length) {
        checkDstIndex(index, length, dstIndex, dst.length);
        System.arraycopy(array, index, dst, dstIndex, length);
        return this;
    }
    ....
    @Override
    public ByteBuf setBytes(int index, ByteBuf src, int srcIndex, int length) {
        checkSrcIndex(index, length, srcIndex, src.capacity());
        if (src.hasMemoryAddress()) {
            PlatformDependent.copyMemory(src.memoryAddress() + srcIndex, array, index, length);
        } else  if (src.hasArray()) {
            setBytes(index, src.array(), src.arrayOffset() + srcIndex, length);
        } else {
            src.getBytes(srcIndex, array, index, length);
        }
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public ByteBuf setBytes(int index, byte[] src, int srcIndex, int length) {
        checkSrcIndex(index, length, srcIndex, src.length);
        System.arraycopy(src, srcIndex, array, index, length);
        return this;
    }
    ...

    @Override
    public ByteBuffer nioBuffer(int index, int length) {
        ensureAccessible();
        return ByteBuffer.wrap(array, index, length).slice();
    }

    @Override
    public ByteBuffer[] nioBuffers(int index, int length) {
        return new ByteBuffer[] { nioBuffer(index, length) };
    }

    @Override
    public ByteBuffer internalNioBuffer(int index, int length) {
        checkIndex(index, length);
        return (ByteBuffer) internalNioBuffer().clear().position(index).limit(index + length);
    }
    ...
    private ByteBuffer internalNioBuffer() {
        ByteBuffer tmpNioBuf = this.tmpNioBuf;
        if (tmpNioBuf == null) {
            this.tmpNioBuf = tmpNioBuf = ByteBuffer.wrap(array);
        }
        return tmpNioBuf;
    }
    ...
     @Override
    protected void deallocate() {
        freeArray(array);
        array = null;
    }
    //待子类扩展
    void freeArray(byte[] array) {
        // NOOP
    }
}

从上面可以看出，非池类堆字节buf，实际为一个字节数组。

//堆内存使用更新与释放，委托给内部度量器

void incrementHeap(int amount) {
    metric.heapCounter.add(amount);
}
void decrementHeap(int amount) {
    metric.heapCounter.add(-amount);
}

再来看分配direct buf：

@Override
protected ByteBuf newDirectBuffer(int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
    final ByteBuf buf;
    if (PlatformDependent.hasUnsafe()) {
        buf = PlatformDependent.useDirectBufferNoCleaner() ?
                new InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf(this, initialCapacity, maxCapacity) :
                new InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf(this, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
    } else {
        buf = new InstrumentedUnpooledDirectByteBuf(this, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
    }
    return disableLeakDetector ? buf : toLeakAwareBuffer(buf);
}

从上面来看direct buf有三种，分别为InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf，
InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf，InstrumentedUnpooledDirectByteBuf

我们分别来看这三种：
1.

private static final class InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf
        extends UnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf {
    InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf(
            UnpooledByteBufAllocator alloc, int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
        super(alloc, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
    }

    @Override
    protected ByteBuffer allocateDirect(int initialCapacity) {
        ByteBuffer buffer = super.allocateDirect(initialCapacity);
	//更新buf分配器direct内存使用量
        ((UnpooledByteBufAllocator) alloc()).incrementDirect(buffer.capacity());
        return buffer;
    }

    @Override
    ByteBuffer reallocateDirect(ByteBuffer oldBuffer, int initialCapacity) {
        int capacity = oldBuffer.capacity();
        ByteBuffer buffer = super.reallocateDirect(oldBuffer, initialCapacity);
	//更新buf分配器direct内存使用量
        ((UnpooledByteBufAllocator) alloc()).incrementDirect(buffer.capacity() - capacity);
        return buffer;
    }

    @Override
    protected void freeDirect(ByteBuffer buffer) {
        int capacity = buffer.capacity();
        super.freeDirect(buffer);
	//释放buf分配器direct内存使用量
        ((UnpooledByteBufAllocator) alloc()).decrementDirect(capacity);
    }
}

//UnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf

class UnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf extends UnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf {

    UnpooledUnsafeNoCleanerDirectByteBuf(ByteBufAllocator alloc, int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
        super(alloc, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
    }
    ...
}

再来看第二种：
2.

private static final class InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf extends UnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf {
    InstrumentedUnpooledUnsafeDirectByteBuf(
            UnpooledByteBufAllocator alloc, int initialCapacity, int maxCapacity) {
        super(alloc, initialCapacity, maxCapacity);
    }

    @Override
    protected ByteBuffer allocateDirect(int initialCapacity) {
        ByteBuffer buffer = super.allocateDirect(initialCapacity);
	//更新buf分配器direct内存使用量
        ((UnpooledByteBufAllocator) alloc()).incrementDirect(buffer.capacity());
        return buffer;
    }

    @Override
    protected void freeDirect(ByteBuffer buffer) {
        int capacity = buffer.capacity();

    }
}

   ...
}

从上面我们可以看出，非池类Direct buf，实际为一个nio 字节buf。
再来看第三种：
3.

        if (alloc == null) {

    }

    /**

     */
    protected ByteBuffer allocateDirect(int initialCapacity) {
        return ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(initialCapacity);
    }
    ...
}

再来看更新direct 内存使用量，更新操作，直接委托给内部度量器：

void incrementDirect(int amount) {
    metric.directCounter.add(amount);
}

void decrementDirect(int amount) {
    metric.directCounter.add(-amount);
}

再来看复合buf

@Override
public CompositeByteBuf compositeHeapBuffer(int maxNumComponents) {
    CompositeByteBuf buf = new CompositeByteBuf(this, false, maxNumComponents);
    return disableLeakDetector ? buf : toLeakAwareBuffer(buf);
}

@Override
public CompositeByteBuf compositeDirectBuffer(int maxNumComponents) {
    CompositeByteBuf buf = new CompositeByteBuf(this, true, maxNumComponents);
    return disableLeakDetector ? buf : toLeakAwareBuffer(buf);
}

[size=medium][b]
总结：[/b][/size]
[color=blue]非池类堆字节buf，实际为一个字节数组，直接在Java虚拟机堆内存中，分配字节缓存；非池类Direct buf，实际为一个nio 字节buf，从操作系统实际物理内存中，分配字节缓存。Unpooled创建字节buf，实际委托给内部字节分配器UnpooledByteBufAllocator。[/color]

附：
我们再来看一下Unpooled：

/**

 * or copying existing byte arrays, byte buffers and a string.
 *Unpooled用于创建一个新的字节buf，包装和拷贝一个已经存在的字节数组，字节buf或String

 * This classes is intended to be used with Java 5 static import statement:

 * <h3>Creating a wrapped buffer</h3>
 *包装buf，为底层buf的视图，所有底层buf的改变，包装buf都可以看到
 * Wrapped buffer is a buffer which is a view of one or more existing
 * byte arrays and byte buffers.  Any changes in the content of the original
 * array or buffer will be visible in the wrapped buffer.  Various wrapper
 * methods are provided and their name is all {@code wrappedBuffer()}.
 * You might want to take a look at the methods that accept varargs closely if
 * you want to create a buffer which is composed of more than one array to
 * reduce the number of memory copy.
 *
 * <h3>Creating a copied buffer</h3>
 *拷贝buf，并不会共享数据，底层buf数据的改变，拷贝buf看不到
 * Copied buffer is a deep copy of one or more existing byte arrays, byte
 * buffers or a string.  Unlike a wrapped buffer, there's no shared data
 * between the original data and the copied buffer.  Various copy methods are
 * provided and their name is all {@code copiedBuffer()}.  It is also convenient
 * to use this operation to merge multiple buffers into one buffer.
