bitcoin 代码中大量使用boost::signal, boost::signal 实现了信号与槽的事件通知机制,或者说是一种消息的发布与订阅机制, signal 类型是一个可调用类型,slot 就是callback 对象,或者说事件的订阅者, signal 实例是一个可调用对象,调用signal 对象,就相当于发布了相应的事件, signal 的connect, disconnect 方法 分别相当于对事件的订阅,取消。
#include <boost/signals2.hpp>
#include <iostream>
void print_args(float x, float y)
{
std::cout << "The arguments are " << x << " and " << y << std::endl;
}
void print_sum(float x, float y)
{
std::cout << "The sum is " << x + y << std::endl;
}
void print_product(float x, float y)
{
std::cout << "The product is " << x * y << std::endl;
}
void print_difference(float x, float y)
{
std::cout << "The difference is " << x - y << std::endl;
}
void print_quotient(float x, float y)
{
std::cout << "The quotient is " << x / y << std::endl;
}
int main() {
boost::signals2::signal<void(float, float)> sig;
sig.connect(print_args);
sig.connect(print_sum);
sig.connect(print_product);
sig.connect(print_difference);
sig.connect(print_quotient);
sig(5., 3.);
return 0;
上面这个例子, 有五个函数订阅sig 事件, sig(5. , 3.) 的调用触发事件,参数5,3, 相当于事件携带的消息paylaod, 传给了五个事件订阅者。
bitcoin 中定义了类型CMainSignals 来统一管理各个功能模块的事件通知,CMainSignal 是一个资源管理类型, 主要工作代理给由unique_ptr 管理内存的成员 m_internals , 它的类型是MainSignalsInstance,内部定义十个boost signal 变量, 分别表达十种要通知的事件。
class CMainSignals {
private:
std::unique_ptr<MainSignalsInstance> m_internals;
friend void ::RegisterValidationInterface(CValidationInterface*);
friend void ::UnregisterValidationInterface(CValidationInterface*);
friend void ::UnregisterAllValidationInterfaces();
friend void ::CallFunctionInValidationInterfaceQueue(std::function<void ()> func);
void MempoolEntryRemoved(CTransactionRef tx, MemPoolRemovalReason reason);
public:
/** Register a CScheduler to give callbacks which should run in the background (may only be called once) */
void RegisterBackgroundSignalScheduler(CScheduler& scheduler);
/** Unregister a CScheduler to give callbacks which should run in the background - these callbacks will now be dropped! */
void UnregisterBackgroundSignalScheduler();
/** Call any remaining callbacks on the calling thread */
void FlushBackgroundCallbacks();
size_t CallbacksPending();
/** Register with mempool to call TransactionRemovedFromMempool callbacks */
void RegisterWithMempoolSignals(CTxMemPool& pool);
/** Unregister with mempool */
void UnregisterWithMempoolSignals(CTxMemPool& pool);
void UpdatedBlockTip(const CBlockIndex *, const CBlockIndex *, bool fInitialDownload);
void TransactionAddedToMempool(const CTransactionRef &);
void BlockConnected(const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock> &, const CBlockIndex *pindex, const std::shared_ptr<const std::vector<CTransactionRef>> &);
void BlockDisconnected(const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock> &);
void SetBestChain(const CBlockLocator &);
void Inventory(const uint256 &);
void Broadcast(int64_t nBestBlockTime, CConnman* connman);
void BlockChecked(const CBlock&, const CValidationState&);
void NewPoWValidBlock(const CBlockIndex *, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>&);
};
struct MainSignalsInstance {
boost::signals2::signal<void (const CBlockIndex *, const CBlockIndex *, bool fInitialDownload)> UpdatedBlockTip;
boost::signals2::signal<void (const CTransactionRef &)> TransactionAddedToMempool;
boost::signals2::signal<void (const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock> &, const CBlockIndex *pindex, const std::vector<CTransactionRef>&)> BlockConnected;

boost::signals2::signal<void (const uint256 &)> Inventory;
boost::signals2::signal<void (int64_t nBestBlockTime, CConnman* connman)> Broadcast;
boost::signals2::signal<void (const CBlock&, const CValidationState&)> BlockChecked;
boost::signals2::signal<void (const CBlockIndex *, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>&)> NewPoWValidBlock;
// We are not allowed to assume the scheduler only runs in one thread,
// but must ensure all callbacks happen in-order, so we end up creating
// our own queue here :(
SingleThreadedSchedulerClient m_schedulerClient;
explicit MainSignalsInstance(CScheduler *pscheduler) : m_schedulerClient(pscheduler) {}
};
类型CValidationInterface 主要是统一表示某些对MainSignalsInstance 中定义的十个事件感兴趣的对象, 即这些事件的订阅者, 所有对这些事件感兴趣代码继承CValidationInterface类型, 提供自己版本的这些虚成员函数的实现,覆盖baseCValidationInterface 中对应的空方法, 表达对相应的事件感兴趣, 不感兴趣的事件的回调方法继续是那些继承自base class 的空方法。
class CValidationInterface {
protected:
virtual void UpdatedBlockTip(const CBlockIndex *pindexNew, const CBlockIndex *pindexFork, bool fInitialDownload) {}
virtual void TransactionAddedToMempool(const CTransactionRef &ptxn) {}
virtual void TransactionRemovedFromMempool(const CTransactionRef &ptx) {}
virtual void BlockConnected(const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock> &block, const CBlockIndex *pindex, const std::vector<CTransactionRef> &txnConflicted) {}
virtual void BlockDisconnected(const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock> &block) {}
virtual void SetBestChain(const CBlockLocator &locator) {}
virtual void Inventory(const uint256 &hash) {}
virtual void ResendWalletTransactions(int64_t nBestBlockTime, CConnman* connman) {}
virtual void BlockChecked(const CBlock&, const CValidationState&) {}
virtual void NewPoWValidBlock(const CBlockIndex *pindex, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>& block) {};
friend void ::RegisterValidationInterface(CValidationInterface*);
friend void ::UnregisterValidationInterface(CValidationInterface*);
friend void ::UnregisterAllValidationInterfaces();
};
CValidationInterface 有四个子类, CWallet , CZMQNotificationInterface, submitblock_StateCatcher, PeerLogicValidation 分别对应四个对MainSignalsInstance 中的事件感兴趣的订阅者。
class CWallet final : public CCryptoKeyStore, public CValidationInterface

std::map<uint256, int>::iterator mi = mapRequestCount.find(hash);
if (mi != mapRequestCount.end())
(*mi).second++;
}
}
...............
};
class CZMQNotificationInterface final : public CValidationInterface
{
................
// CValidationInterface

};
class submitblock_StateCatcher : public CValidationInterface

explicit submitblock_StateCatcher(const uint256 &hashIn) : hash(hashIn), found(false), state() {}

if (block.GetHash() != hash)
return;
found = true;
state = stateIn;
}
};
class PeerLogicValidation : public CValidationInterface, public NetEventsInterface
{

public:

void BlockChecked(const CBlock& block, const CValidationState& state) override;
void NewPoWValidBlock(const CBlockIndex *pindex, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>& pblock) override;
........
};
这四个订阅者通过调用RegisterValidationInterface, UnregisterValidationInterface 订阅,取消事件通知, 函数接受参数是指向订阅者的指针。
void RegisterValidationInterface(CValidationInterface* pwalletIn) {
g_signals.m_internals->UpdatedBlockTip.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::UpdatedBlockTip, pwalletIn, _1, _2, _3));
g_signals.m_internals->TransactionAddedToMempool.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::TransactionAddedToMempool, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->BlockConnected.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::BlockConnected, pwalletIn, _1, _2, _3));
g_signals.m_internals->BlockDisconnected.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::BlockDisconnected, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->TransactionRemovedFromMempool.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::TransactionRemovedFromMempool, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->SetBestChain.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::SetBestChain, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->Inventory.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::Inventory, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->Broadcast.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::ResendWalletTransactions, pwalletIn, _1, _2));
g_signals.m_internals->BlockChecked.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::BlockChecked, pwalletIn, _1, _2));
g_signals.m_internals->NewPoWValidBlock.connect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::NewPoWValidBlock, pwalletIn, _1, _2));
}
void UnregisterValidationInterface(CValidationInterface* pwalletIn) {
g_signals.m_internals->BlockChecked.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::BlockChecked, pwalletIn, _1, _2));
g_signals.m_internals->Broadcast.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::ResendWalletTransactions, pwalletIn, _1, _2));
g_signals.m_internals->Inventory.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::Inventory, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->SetBestChain.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::SetBestChain, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->TransactionAddedToMempool.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::TransactionAddedToMempool, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->BlockConnected.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::BlockConnected, pwalletIn, _1, _2, _3));
g_signals.m_internals->BlockDisconnected.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::BlockDisconnected, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->TransactionRemovedFromMempool.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::TransactionRemovedFromMempool, pwalletIn, _1));
g_signals.m_internals->UpdatedBlockTip.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::UpdatedBlockTip, pwalletIn, _1, _2, _3));
g_signals.m_internals->NewPoWValidBlock.disconnect(boost::bind(&CValidationInterface::NewPoWValidBlock, pwalletIn, _1, _2));
}
在程序启动,初始化阶段,启动调度器线程
bool AppInitMain()
{
.................
CScheduler::Function serviceLoop = boost::bind(&CScheduler::serviceQueue, &scheduler);
threadGroup.create_thread(boost::bind(&TraceThread<CScheduler::Function>, "scheduler", serviceLoop));
.................
}
调用RegisterBackgroundSignalScheduler(), 初始化全局MainSignalsInstance 实例; 调用RegisterWithMempoolSignals(), 订阅全局内存池对象的NotifyEntryRemoved 事件通知, MainSignalsInstance 只对由于超时,大小限制, blockchian 重组,替换等原因发生的离开内存池事件感兴趣, 收到后MainSignalsInstance 再作为事件发布者, 转发给其他订阅者, 如CWallet。
bool AppInitMain()
{
......
GetMainSignals().RegisterBackgroundSignalScheduler(scheduler);
GetMainSignals().RegisterWithMempoolSignals(mempool);
........
}
初始化全局的连接管理对象connman 后, 初始化全局的peerLogic 对象, 然后调用RegisterValidationInterface(), peerLogic 成为MainSignalsInstance 对象的订阅者, 如果用户编译了zeromq支持 模块,调用RegisterValidationInterface(), pzmqNotificationInterface 订阅MainSignalsInstance 。
bool AppInitMain()
{
.............
assert(!g_connman);
g_connman = std::unique_ptr<CConnman>(new CConnman(GetRand(std::numeric_limits<uint64_t>::max()), GetRand(std::numeric_limits<uint64_t>::max())));
CConnman& connman = *g_connman;
peerLogic.reset(new PeerLogicValidation(&connman, scheduler));
RegisterValidationInterface(peerLogic.get());
.............
#if ENABLE_ZMQ
pzmqNotificationInterface = CZMQNotificationInterface::Create();
if (pzmqNotificationInterface) {
RegisterValidationInterface(pzmqNotificationInterface);
}
#endif
...............
}
如果钱包功能开启, 启动后打开钱包过程,会把钱包注册成为MainSignalsInstance的订阅者。
bool AppInitMain()
{
........
#ifdef ENABLE_WALLET
if (!OpenWallets())
return false;
#else
LogPrintf("No wallet support compiled in!\n");
#endif
........
}
bool OpenWallets()
{
if (gArgs.GetBoolArg("-disablewallet", DEFAULT_DISABLE_WALLET)) {
LogPrintf("Wallet disabled!\n");
return true;
}
for (const std::string& walletFile : gArgs.GetArgs("-wallet")) {
CWallet * const pwallet = CWallet::CreateWalletFromFile(walletFile);
if (!pwallet) {
return false;
}
vpwallets.push_back(pwallet);
}
return true;
}
CWallet* CWallet::CreateWalletFromFile(const std::string walletFile)
{
......
CWallet *walletInstance = new CWallet(std::move(dbw));
RegisterValidationInterface(walletInstance);
......
}
在submitblock rpc 调用中, 用户提交hex编码的原始block, 解析后, 调用ProcessNewBlock()检查处理,使用类型submitblock_StateCatcher 的对象sc 作为MainSignalsInstance 的订阅者, 对提交过去的block 的验证结果, 作为事件通知返回给rpc 调用。
UniValue submitblock(const JSONRPCRequest& request)
{
...........
submitblock_StateCatcher sc(block.GetHash());
RegisterValidationInterface(&sc);
bool fAccepted = ProcessNewBlock(Params(), blockptr, true, nullptr);
UnregisterValidationInterface(&sc);
...........
}
CMainSignals 类型上面定义了一堆触发事件的方法, 别的代码模块调用这些方法, 触发相应的事件,把事件通知发给相关的订阅者。
