looper线程的简单实现

在代码的逻辑中，我们经常需要把一些操作放到一个线程中去执行，比如android 中的更新UI就只能在main线程中执行，这样做是为了避免有些资源被两个(多个)线程“同时”修改。下面是用c语言实现的looper线程。

#ifndef __MESSAGE_LOOPER_H__
#define __MESSAGE_LOOPER_H__

#include <pthread.h>

#define MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE  256
#define MESSAGE_EXIT_LOOP  -1

typedef struct message_t
{
    int what;
    struct message_t* next;
    int data_size;
    void* data;
} message_t;

typedef struct{
   message_t* head;
   int size;
} message_queue_t;

typedef void (*CALLBACK_FUNC)(message_t *msg);

typedef struct{
    int is_loop;  //退出线程循环标志
    pthread_t looper_thread;
    pthread_mutex_t queue_mutex;
    pthread_cond_t queue_cond;
    message_queue_t queue;
    CALLBACK_FUNC handle_msg; //消息处理函数
} message_looper_t;


int create_looper(message_looper_t** looper,CALLBACK_FUNC func);

int start_loop(message_looper_t* looper);

int stop_loop(message_looper_t* looper);

int destroy_looper(message_looper_t* looper);

int push_message(message_looper_t* looper,int what,const void* data,int size);

#endif

对应的实现代码

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "message_looper.h"

static message_t* fetch_message(message_queue_t* queue)
{
    if(queue->size<1)
    {
        return NULL;
    }
    message_t* message = queue->head;
    queue->head=message->next;    //取出队列头的消息后，消息队列指向下一个
    (queue->size)--;
    return message;
}

static int delete_message(message_t* message)
{
    if(message==NULL)
    {
        printf("[message_looper] delete_message message is null.\n");
        return -1;
    }
    if(message->data!=NULL)
    {
         free(message->data);
         message->data = NULL;
    }
    free(message);
    return 0;
}

static int clear_message_queue(message_queue_t* queue)
{
    if(queue==NULL)
    {
