cocos2d-x引擎在内部实现了一个庞大的主循环,每帧之间更新界面,如果耗时的操作放到了主线程中,游戏的界面就会卡,这是不能容忍的,游戏最基本的条件就是流畅性,这就是为什么游戏开发选择C++的原因。另外现在双核手机和四核手机越来越普遍了,是时候使用多线程来挖掘硬件的潜力了。
1.环境搭建
cocos2d-x中的多线程使用pthread就可以实现跨平台,而且也不是很难理解。使用pthread需要先配置一下工程。右击工程----->属性----->配置属性---->链接器----->输入---->附加依赖项中添加pthreadVCE2.lib,如下图
接着添加附加包含目录,右击项目,属性----->C/C++---->常规----->附加包含目录加入pthread头文件所在的目录
这样,环境就搭建起来了。
2.多线程的使用
使用pthread来实现多线程,最重要的一个函数是
[cpp] view plaincopy
- PTW32_DLLPORT int PTW32_CDECL pthread_create (pthread_t * tid,//线程的标示
- const pthread_attr_t * attr, //创建线程的参数
- void *(*start) (void *), //入口函数的指针
- void *arg); //传递给线程的数据
在HelloWorldScene.h文件中
- pthread_t pidrun,pidgo;
- static void* th_run(void *r);
- static void* th_go(void *r);
然后自定义了一个类,用于给线程传递数据。Student类如下:
- #pragma once
- #include <string>
- class Student
- {
- public:
- Student(void);
- Student(std::string name,int age,std::string sex);
- ~Student(void);
- std::string name;
- int age;
- std::string sex;
- };
源文件如下
- #include "Student.h"
- #include "cocos2d.h"
- Student::Student(void)
- {
- }
- Student::~Student(void)
- {
- cocos2d::CCLog("delete data");
- }
- Student::Student(std::string name,int age,std::string sex)
- {
- this->name=name;
- this->age=age;
- this->sex=sex;
- }
- void HelloWorld::menuCloseCallback(CCObject* pSender)
- {
- Student *temp=new Student(std::string("zhycheng"),23,std::string("male"));
- pthread_mutex_init(&mutex,NULL);
- pthread_create(&pidrun,NULL,th_run,temp);//启动线程
- pthread_create(&pidgo,NULL,th_go,0);
- }
可以看到,将Student的指针传递给了pidrun线程,那么在pidrun线程中获得Student信息如下:
- Student *s=(Student*)(r);
- CCLog("name is %s,and age is %d,sex is %s",s->name.c_str(),s->age,s->sex.c_str());
- delete s;
3.线程同步
使用了线程,必然就要考虑到线程同步,不同的线程同时访问资源的话,访问的顺序是不可预知的,会造成不可预知的结果。这里使用pthread_mutex_t来实现同步,下面我来演示一下使用多线程实现卖票系统。卖票的时候,是由多个窗口同时卖票,这里要做到一张票不要卖出去两次,不要出现有票却无法卖的结果。
在线程函数th_run和th_go中来卖票,票的数量是一个全局变量,每卖出去一张票,就将票的数量减一。其中同步的pthread_mutex_t也是一个全局变量,就用它来实现线程同步。
- void* HelloWorld::th_run(void *r)
- {
- Student *s=(Student*)(r);
- CCLog("name is %s,and age is %d,sex is %s",s->name.c_str(),s->age,s->sex.c_str());
- delete s;
- while(true)
- {
- pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
- if(ticket>0)
- {
- CCLog("thread run sell %d",ticket);
- ticket--;
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- }
- else
- {
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- break;
- }
- Sleep(1);
- //Usleep(10);
- }
- return NULL;
- }
- void* HelloWorld::th_go(void *r)
- {
- while(true)
- {
- pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
- if(ticket>0)
- {
- CCLog("thread go sell %d",ticket);
- ticket--;
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- }
- else
- {
- pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- break;
- }
- Sleep(1);
- }
- return NULL;
- }
- name is zhycheng,and age is 23,sex is male
- delete data
- thread run sell 100

可以看到,这个打印结果正确无误。如果不加mutex会是什么样的结果呢,我将线程同步的mutex注释掉,输出的结果为:

可以看到,有的票卖了两次,有的票就没卖。
4.注意
1.Sleep()函数是使得线程休眠的函数,这个函数不跨平台,仅仅在windows上能用,其他平台使用usleep。
2.在非主线程中不能使用cocos2d-x管理内存的CCObject::retain(), CCObject::release() 者CCObject::autorelease(),因为CCAutoreleasePool不是线程安全的,OPENGL的上下文也不是线程安全的,所以不要再非主线程中使用cocos2d-x的API和UI操作。
cocos2dx内存管理与多线程问题:
Cocos2d-x的内存管理采用Objective-C的机制,大喜过望。因为只要坚持Objective-C的原则“谁创建谁释放,谁备份谁释放”的原则即可确保内存使用不易出现Bug。
但是因为本身开放的游戏需要使用到多线程技术,导致测试的时候总是莫名其妙的导致空指针错误。而且是随机出现,纠结了2天无果后,开始怀疑Cocos2d-X的内存本身管理可能存在问题。怀着这样的想法,
一步一步的调试,发现经常出现指针异常的变量总是在调用autorelease后一会就莫名其妙再使用的时候就抛异常。狠下心,在它的析构函数里面断点+Log输出信息。发现对象被释放了。一时也很迷糊,因为对象只是
autorelease,并没有真正释放,是谁导致它释放的?
然后就去看了CCAutoreleasePool的源码,发现存在Cocos2d-X的内存管理在多线程的情况下存在如下问题
如图:thread 1和thread 2是独立的两个线程,它们之间存在CPU分配的交叉集,我们在time 1的时候push一个autorelease的自动释放池,在该线程的末尾,即time 3的时候pop它。同理在thread 2的线程里面,在time 2的时候push一个自动释放池,在time 4的时候释放它,即Pop.
此时我们假设在thread 2分配得到CPU的时候有一个对象obj自动释放,即obj-autorelease().那么在time 3的时候会发生是么事情呢?
答案很简单,就是obj在time 3的时候就被释放了,而我们期望它在time 4的时候才释放。所以就导致我上面说的,在多线程下面,cocos2d-x的autorelease变量会发生莫名其妙的指针异常。
解决办法:在PoolManager给每个线程根据pthread_t的线程id生成一个CCArray的stack的嵌套管理自动释放池。源码如下
所以我在Push的时候根据当前线程的pthread_t的线程id生成一个CCArray的stack来存储该线程对应的Autoreleasepool的嵌套对象
