Netty:Channel和Unsafe

1.Channel的功能介绍

1.1 成员变量定义

/**
 * A skeletal {@link Channel} implementation.
 */
public abstract class AbstractChannel extends DefaultAttributeMap implements Channel {

    private static final InternalLogger logger = InternalLoggerFactory.getInstance(AbstractChannel.class);

    //链路已经关闭异常
    static final ClosedChannelException CLOSED_CHANNEL_EXCEPTION = new ClosedChannelException();
    //物理链路尚未建立异常
    static final NotYetConnectedException NOT_YET_CONNECTED_EXCEPTION = new NotYetConnectedException();

    static {
        CLOSED_CHANNEL_EXCEPTION.setStackTrace(EmptyArrays.EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
        NOT_YET_CONNECTED_EXCEPTION.setStackTrace(EmptyArrays.EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
    }

    private MessageSizeEstimator.Handle estimatorHandle;
    //代表父类Channel
    private final Channel parent;
    //采用默认方式生成的全局唯一ID
    private final ChannelId id;
    //Unsafe实例
    private final Unsafe unsafe;
    //当前Channel对应的DefaultChannelPipeline
    private final DefaultChannelPipeline pipeline;
    private final ChannelFuture succeededFuture = new SucceededChannelFuture(this, null);
    private final VoidChannelPromise voidPromise = new VoidChannelPromise(this, true);
    private final VoidChannelPromise unsafeVoidPromise = new VoidChannelPromise(this, false);
    private final CloseFuture closeFuture = new CloseFuture(this);

    private volatile SocketAddress localAddress;
    private volatile SocketAddress remoteAddress;
    //当前Channel注册EventLoop
    private volatile PausableChannelEventLoop eventLoop;
    private volatile boolean registered;

    /** Cache for the string representation of this channel */
    private boolean strValActive;
    private String strVal;

采用事件驱动的方式可以非常轻松地通过事件定义来划分事件拦截切面，方便业务的定制和功能扩展，相比AOP，其性能更高，但是功能却基本等价。

网络I/O操作直接调用DefaultChannelPipeline的相关方法，由DefaultChannelPipeline中对应的ChannelHandler进行具体逻辑处理

    @Override
    public ChannelFuture connect(SocketAddress remoteAddress, SocketAddress localAddress) {
        return pipeline.connect(remoteAddress, localAddress);
    }

    @Override
    public ChannelFuture disconnect() {
        return pipeline.disconnect();
    }

    @Override
    public ChannelFuture close() {
        return pipeline.close();
    }

    @Override
    public Channel flush() {
        pipeline.flush();
        return this;
    }
