解析 JS 数组设置length=0可以清空数组原因

之前发现 js数组设置 length = 0可以清空数组。。。感觉有点蛋疼。。就想折腾下v8源码看看。。

var arr = [];
arr.push(1);

打印下arr的信息

	0x32ffdb88161: [JSArray]

	 - map: 0x032f89a02d99 <Map(PACKED_SMI_ELEMENTS)> [FastProperties]

	 - prototype: 0x032f1448fea1 <JSArray[0]>

	 - elements: 0x032ffdb88419 <FixedArray[17]> [PACKED_SMI_ELEMENTS]

	 - length: 1  //长度是1

	 - properties: 0x032f1a480c21 <FixedArray[0]> {

		#length: 0x032fb60801a9 <AccessorInfo> (const accessor descriptor)

	 }

	 - elements: 0x032ffdb88419 <FixedArray[17]> {

			   0: 1 //下标0对应的数据是1

			1-16: 0x032f1a4805b1 <the_hole>

	 }

清空数组 可以 arr.length = 0;

设置length = 0之后1就都没了

	0x32ffdb88161: [JSArray]

	 - map: 0x032f89a02d99 <Map(PACKED_SMI_ELEMENTS)> [FastProperties]

	 - prototype: 0x032f1448fea1 <JSArray[0]>

	 - elements: 0x032f1a480c21 <FixedArray[0]> [PACKED_SMI_ELEMENTS]

	 - length: 0

	 - properties: 0x032f1a480c21 <FixedArray[0]> {

		#length: 0x032fb60801a9 <AccessorInfo> (const accessor descriptor)

	 }

通过调试得知：

之前一堆调用不管了，看调用堆栈先调用

void Accessors::ArrayLengthSetter(
    v8::Local<v8::Name> name, v8::Local<v8::Value> val,
    const v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<v8::Boolean>& info)

里面有一句

JSArray::SetLength(array, length);

查看该函数实现

void JSArray::SetLength(Handle<JSArray> array, uint32_t new_length) {

  // We should never end in here with a pixel or external array.

  DCHECK(array->AllowsSetLength());
  if (array->SetLengthWouldNormalize(new_length)) {
    JSObject::NormalizeElements(array);
  }
  array->GetElementsAccessor()->SetLength(array, new_length);
}

关键就在

array->GetElementsAccessor()->SetLength(array, new_length);

查看

SetLength(array, new_length)

void SetLength(Handle<JSArray> array, uint32_t length) final {
    Subclass::SetLengthImpl(array->GetIsolate(), array, length,
                            handle(array->elements(), array->GetIsolate()));
  }

继续查看

Subclass::SetLengthImpl

会发现

if (length == 0) {
      array->initialize_elements();
    }

至此 设置length = 0 为什么能清空数组算是清楚了。

再往下。。。表示我还没看懂。。是怎么初始化element的。。。应该就是要挖js-array的底层实现了。有空了继续搞
