The channel in the Go language is the key mechanism to achieve lock-free communication between goroutines. It makes writing multi-threaded concurrent programs simple, flexible and accessible.
Channel is a core type in Go. You can think of it as a pipe, through which the concurrent core unit can send or receive data for communication. (Recommended learning: go)
Its operator is the arrow <-.
ch <- v // 发送值v到Channel ch中 v := <-ch // 从Channel ch中接收数据,并将数据赋值给v
channel structure
type hchan struct { qcount uint // total data in the queue 队列中存在的个数 dataqsiz uint // size of the circular queue buffer大小 实现看起来是个循环数组 buf unsafe.Pointer // points to an array of dataqsiz elements 数组指针 elemsize uint16 //channel类型的大小 closed uint32 //channel是否关闭 elemtype *_type // element type //channel 类型 sendx uint // send index //发送index recvx uint // receive index //接收index recvq waitq // list of recv waiters //接收链表 即读channel的goroutine sendq waitq // list of send waiters //发送链表 即写channel的goroutine // lock protects all fields in hchan, as well as several // fields in sudogs blocked on this channel. // // Do not change another G's status while holding this lock // (in particular, do not ready a G), as this can deadlock // with stack shrinking. lock mutex }
