golang slice底层实现

本文内容基于go1.13.1源码。

通过 make 给局部变量分配空间时，如果空间较少，则会直接在栈上分配 slice 的 header 和 数组，否则会调用 runtime.makeslice 。

slice 结构：

type SliceHeader struct {
	Data uintptr // 指向连续内存数组
	Len  int
	Cap  int
}

初始化

// et 是元素的类型
func makeslice(et *_type, len, cap int) unsafe.Pointer {
	mem, overflow := math.MulUintptr(et.size, uintptr(cap))
	// 判断 len 和 cap 参数是否合法
	if overflow || mem > maxAlloc || len < 0 || len > cap {
		// NOTE: Produce a 'len out of range' error instead of a
		// 'cap out of range' error when someone does make([]T, bignumber).
		// 'cap out of range' is true too, but since the cap is only being
		// supplied implicitly, saying len is clearer.
		// See golang.org/issue/4085.
		mem, overflow := math.MulUintptr(et.size, uintptr(len))
		if overflow || mem > maxAlloc || len < 0 {
			panicmakeslicelen()
		}
		panicmakeslicecap()
	}

    // 在堆上分配一段连续的内存
	return mallocgc(mem, et, true)
}

元素的赋值/访问

汇编实现，直接计算出元素的内存地址。

追加操作

如果 cap 足够，则会直接计算出元素的内存地址并赋值，然后修改 len。

如果 cap 不足，则会调用 runtime.growslice 进行扩容：

• 当 slice.cap < 1024 时，扩容一倍
• 当 slice.cap > 1024 时，扩容1/4倍
• 如果确定slice大小应该预先申请好，因为扩容的时候是需要复制整个数组内存的

func growslice(et *_type, old slice, cap int) slice {
	if raceenabled {
		callerpc := getcallerpc()
		racereadrangepc(old.array, uintptr(old.len*int(et.size)), callerpc, funcPC(growslice))
	}
	if msanenabled {
		msanread(old.array, uintptr(old.len*int(et.size)))
	}

	if cap < old.cap {
		panic(errorString("growslice: cap out of range"))
	}

	if et.size == 0 {
		// append should not create a slice with nil pointer but non-zero len.
		// We assume that append doesn't need to preserve old.array in this case.
		return slice{unsafe.Pointer(&zerobase), old.len, cap}
	}

	newcap := old.cap
	doublecap := newcap + newcap
	if cap > doublecap {
		newcap = cap
	} else {
	    // 判断旧数组的长度是否小于1024，如果是的话就按旧数组的容量扩容一倍
		if old.len < 1024 {
			newcap = doublecap
		} else {
			// Check 0 < newcap to detect overflow
			// and prevent an infinite loop.
			for 0 < newcap && newcap < cap {
				newcap += newcap / 4
			}
			// 判断上面newcap的加法是否溢出了
			// Set newcap to the requested cap when
			// the newcap calculation overflowed.
			if newcap <= 0 {
				newcap = cap
			}
		}
	}

	var overflow bool

	// For 1 we don't need any division/multiplication.
	// For sys.PtrSize, compiler will optimize division/multiplication into a shift by a constant.
	// For powers of 2, use a variable shift.
	// 根据元素类型的大小，选择对应的计算逻辑，节省计算量
