select 表达式(实验性的)

select 表达式使得同时等待多个挂起函数并_选择_第一个可用的函数成为可能。

select 表达式是 kotlinx.coroutines 的实验性特性。其 API 预计会在 kotlinx.coroutines 库的后续更新中演进,可能包含破坏性变更。

从通道中选择

我们来创建两个字符串生产者:fizzbuzzfizz 每 500 毫秒生产一次 "Fizz" 字符串:

kotlin
fun CoroutineScope.fizz() = produce<String> {
    while (true) { // sends "Fizz" every 500 ms
        delay(500)
        send("Fizz")
    }
}

buzz 每 1000 毫秒生产一次 "Buzz!" 字符串:

kotlin
fun CoroutineScope.buzz() = produce<String> {
    while (true) { // sends "Buzz!" every 1000 ms
        delay(1000)
        send("Buzz!")
    }
}

使用 receive 挂起函数,我们可以从一个通道或另一个通道中_接收_。但 select 表达式允许我们使用其 onReceive 子句同时从_两者_中接收:

kotlin
suspend fun selectFizzBuzz(fizz: ReceiveChannel<String>, buzz: ReceiveChannel<String>) {
    select<Unit> { // <Unit> means that this select expression does not produce any result 
        fizz.onReceive { value ->  // this is the first select clause
            println("fizz -> '$value'")
        }
        buzz.onReceive { value ->  // this is the second select clause
            println("buzz -> '$value'")
        }
    }
}

我们来运行它七次:

kotlin
import kotlinx.coroutines.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.channels.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.selects.*

fun CoroutineScope.fizz() = produce<String> {
    while (true) { // sends "Fizz" every 500 ms
        delay(500)
        send("Fizz")
    }
}

fun CoroutineScope.buzz() = produce<String> {
    while (true) { // sends "Buzz!" every 1000 ms
        delay(1000)
        send("Buzz!")
    }
}

suspend fun selectFizzBuzz(fizz: ReceiveChannel<String>, buzz: ReceiveChannel<String>) {
    select<Unit> { // <Unit> means that this select expression does not produce any result 
        fizz.onReceive { value ->  // this is the first select clause
            println("fizz -> '$value'")
        }
        buzz.onReceive { value ->  // this is the second select clause
            println("buzz -> '$value'")
        }
    }
}

fun main() = runBlocking<Unit> {
    val fizz = fizz()
    val buzz = buzz()
    repeat(7) {
        selectFizzBuzz(fizz, buzz)
    }
    coroutineContext.cancelChildren() // cancel fizz & buzz coroutines
}

你可以在 此处 获取完整代码。

此代码的结果是:

text
fizz -> 'Fizz'
buzz -> 'Buzz!'
fizz -> 'Fizz'
fizz -> 'Fizz'
buzz -> 'Buzz!'
fizz -> 'Fizz'
fizz -> 'Fizz'

关闭时选择

当通道关闭时,select 中的 onReceive 子句会失败,导致相应的 select 抛出异常。我们可以使用 onReceiveCatching 子句在通道关闭时执行特定操作。以下示例还展示了 select 是一个表达式,它会返回其所选子句的结果:

kotlin
suspend fun selectAorB(a: ReceiveChannel<String>, b: ReceiveChannel<String>): String =
    select<String> {
        a.onReceiveCatching { it ->
            val value = it.getOrNull()
            if (value != null) {
                "a -> '$value'"
            } else {
                "Channel 'a' is closed"
            }
        }
        b.onReceiveCatching { it ->
            val value = it.getOrNull()
            if (value != null) {
                "b -> '$value'"
            } else {
                "Channel 'b' is closed"
            }
        }
    }

我们将其与通道 a(生产四次 "Hello" 字符串)和通道 b(生产四次 "World" 字符串)一起使用:

kotlin
import kotlinx.coroutines.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.channels.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.selects.*

suspend fun selectAorB(a: ReceiveChannel<String>, b: ReceiveChannel<String>): String =
    select<String> {
        a.onReceiveCatching { it ->
            val value = it.getOrNull()
            if (value != null) {
                "a -> '$value'"
            } else {
                "Channel 'a' is closed"
            }
        }
        b.onReceiveCatching { it ->
            val value = it.getOrNull()
            if (value != null) {
                "b -> '$value'"
            } else {
                "Channel 'b' is closed"
            }
        }
    }
    
fun main() = runBlocking<Unit> {
    val a = produce<String> {
        repeat(4) { send("Hello $it") }
    }
    val b = produce<String> {
        repeat(4) { send("World $it") }
    }
    repeat(8) { // print first eight results
        println(selectAorB(a, b))
    }
    coroutineContext.cancelChildren()  
}

你可以在 此处 获取完整代码。

此代码的结果非常有趣,我们将对其进行更详细的分析:

text
a -> 'Hello 0'
a -> 'Hello 1'
b -> 'World 0'
a -> 'Hello 2'
a -> 'Hello 3'
b -> 'World 1'
Channel 'a' is closed
Channel 'a' is closed

可以从中得出几点观察。

首先,select 对第一个子句是_偏向的_。当多个子句同时可选时,它们中的第一个子句会被选中。在此,两个通道都在不断生产字符串,因此作为 select 中第一个子句的 a 通道胜出。然而,因为我们使用的是无缓冲通道,a 会在其 send 调用时偶尔挂起,从而也给了 b 发送的机会。

第二个观察是,当通道已关闭时,onReceiveCatching 会立即被选中。

发送时选择

select 表达式具有 onSend 子句,结合选择的偏向性,可以发挥巨大作用。

我们来编写一个整数生产者的示例,当其主通道的消费者无法跟上其速度时,它会将值发送到 side 通道:

kotlin
fun CoroutineScope.produceNumbers(side: SendChannel<Int>) = produce<Int> {
    for (num in 1..10) { // produce 10 numbers from 1 to 10
        delay(100) // every 100 ms
        select<Unit> {
            onSend(num) {} // Send to the primary channel
            side.onSend(num) {} // or to the side channel     
        }
    }
}

消费者会相当慢,处理每个数字需要 250 毫秒:

kotlin
import kotlinx.coroutines.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.channels.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.selects.*

fun CoroutineScope.produceNumbers(side: SendChannel<Int>) = produce<Int> {
    for (num in 1..10) { // produce 10 numbers from 1 to 10
        delay(100) // every 100 ms
        select<Unit> {
            onSend(num) {} // Send to the primary channel
            side.onSend(num) {} // or to the side channel     
        }
    }
}

fun main() = runBlocking<Unit> {
    val side = Channel<Int>() // allocate side channel
    launch { // this is a very fast consumer for the side channel
        side.consumeEach { println("Side channel has $it") }
    }
    produceNumbers(side).consumeEach { 
        println("Consuming $it")
        delay(250) // let us digest the consumed number properly, do not hurry
    }
    println("Done consuming")
    coroutineContext.cancelChildren()  
}

你可以在 此处 获取完整代码。

那么让我们看看会发生什么:

text
Consuming 1
Side channel has 2
Side channel has 3
Consuming 4
Side channel has 5
Side channel has 6
Consuming 7
Side channel has 8
Side channel has 9
Consuming 10
Done consuming

选择 deferred 值

可以使用 onAwait 子句选择 deferred 值。 我们从一个异步函数开始,它在随机延迟后返回一个 deferred 字符串值:

kotlin
fun CoroutineScope.asyncString(time: Int) = async {
    delay(time.toLong())
    "Waited for $time ms"
}

我们启动十二个,带有随机延迟。

kotlin
fun CoroutineScope.asyncStringsList(): List<Deferred<String>> {
    val random = Random(3)
    return List(12) { asyncString(random.nextInt(1000)) }
}

现在 main 函数等待其中第一个完成,并计算仍处于活跃状态的 deferred 值数量。请注意,我们在这里利用了 select 表达式是一个 Kotlin DSL 的事实,因此我们可以使用任意代码为其提供子句。在这种情况下,我们迭代 deferred 值列表,为每个 deferred 值提供 onAwait 子句。

kotlin
import kotlinx.coroutines.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.selects.*
import java.util.*
    
fun CoroutineScope.asyncString(time: Int) = async {
    delay(time.toLong())
    "Waited for $time ms"
}

fun CoroutineScope.asyncStringsList(): List<Deferred<String>> {
    val random = Random(3)
    return List(12) { asyncString(random.nextInt(1000)) }
}

fun main() = runBlocking<Unit> {
    val list = asyncStringsList()
    val result = select<String> {
        list.withIndex().forEach { (index, deferred) ->
            deferred.onAwait { answer ->
                "Deferred $index produced answer '$answer'"
            }
        }
    }
    println(result)
    val countActive = list.count { it.isActive }
    println("$countActive coroutines are still active")
}

你可以在 此处 获取完整代码。

输出是:

text
Deferred 4 produced answer 'Waited for 128 ms'
11 coroutines are still active

切换 deferred 值通道

我们来编写一个通道生产者函数,它消费一个 deferred 字符串值通道,等待每个接收到的 deferred 值,但仅限于下一个 deferred 值到来或通道关闭之前。此示例将 onReceiveCatchingonAwait 子句组合在同一个 select 中:

kotlin
fun CoroutineScope.switchMapDeferreds(input: ReceiveChannel<Deferred<String>>) = produce<String> {
    var current = input.receive() // start with first received deferred value
    while (isActive) { // loop while not cancelled/closed
        val next = select<Deferred<String>?> { // return next deferred value from this select or null
            input.onReceiveCatching { update ->
                update.getOrNull()
            }
            current.onAwait { value ->
                send(value) // send value that current deferred has produced
                input.receiveCatching().getOrNull() // and use the next deferred from the input channel
            }
        }
        if (next == null) {
            println("Channel was closed")
            break // out of loop
        } else {
            current = next
        }
    }
}

为了测试它,我们将使用一个简单的异步函数,它在指定时间后解析为指定的字符串:

kotlin
fun CoroutineScope.asyncString(str: String, time: Long) = async {
    delay(time)
    str
}

main 函数只是启动一个协程来打印 switchMapDeferreds 的结果,并向其发送一些测试数据:

kotlin
import kotlinx.coroutines.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.channels.*
import kotlinx.coroutines.selects.*
    
fun CoroutineScope.switchMapDeferreds(input: ReceiveChannel<Deferred<String>>) = produce<String> {
    var current = input.receive() // start with first received deferred value
    while (isActive) { // loop while not cancelled/closed
        val next = select<Deferred<String>?> { // return next deferred value from this select or null
            input.onReceiveCatching { update ->
                update.getOrNull()
            }
            current.onAwait { value ->
                send(value) // send value that current deferred has produced
                input.receiveCatching().getOrNull() // and use the next deferred from the input channel
            }
        }
        if (next == null) {
            println("Channel was closed")
            break // out of loop
        } else {
            current = next
        }
    }
}

fun CoroutineScope.asyncString(str: String, time: Long) = async {
    delay(time)
    str
}

fun main() = runBlocking<Unit> {
    val chan = Channel<Deferred<String>>() // the channel for test
    launch { // launch printing coroutine
        for (s in switchMapDeferreds(chan)) 
            println(s) // print each received string
    }
    chan.send(asyncString("BEGIN", 100))
    delay(200) // enough time for "BEGIN" to be produced
    chan.send(asyncString("Slow", 500))
    delay(100) // not enough time to produce slow
    chan.send(asyncString("Replace", 100))
    delay(500) // give it time before the last one
    chan.send(asyncString("END", 500))
    delay(1000) // give it time to process
    chan.close() // close the channel ... 
    delay(500) // and wait some time to let it finish
}

你可以在 此处 获取完整代码。

此代码的结果:

text
BEGIN
Replace
END
Channel was closed
