PHP协程初体验

By warezhou 2014.11.24

上次通过C扩展为PHP添加coroutine尝试失败之后，由于短期内啃下Zend可能性几乎为零，只能打语言原生能力的主意了。Google之后发现，PHP5.5引入了Generator和Coroutine新特性，于是才有了本文的诞生。

预备知识

Generator

function my_range($start, $end, $step = 1) {
    for ($i = $start; $i <= $end; $i += $step) {
        yield $i;
    }
}

foreach (my_range(1, 1000) as $num) {
    echo $num, "\n";
}
/*
 * 1
 * 2
 * ...
 * 1000
 */

图 1 基于generator的range()实现

$range = my_range(1, 1000);

var_dump($range);
/*
 * object(Generator)#1 (0) {
 * }
 */

var_dump($range instanceof Iterator);
/*
 * bool(true)
 */

图 2 my_range()的实现推测

由于接触PHP时日尚浅，并未深入语言实现细节，所以只能根据现象进行猜测，以下是我的一些个人理解：

包含yield关键字的函数比较特殊，返回值是一个Generator对象，此时函数内语句尚未真正执行
Generator对象是Iterator接口实例，可以通过rewind()、current()、next()、valid()系列接口进行操纵
Generator可以视为一种“可中断”的函数，而yield构成了一系列的“中断点”
Generator类似于车间生产的流水线，每次需要用产品的时候才从那里取一个，然后这个流水线就停在那里等待下一次取操作

Coroutine

细心的读者可能已经发现，截至目前，其实Generator已经实现了Coroutine的关键特性：中断执行、恢复执行。按照《当C/C++后台开发遇上Coroutine》的思路，借助“全局变量”一类语言设施进行信息传递，实现异步Server应该足够了。

其实相对于swapcontext族函数，Generator已经前进了一大步，具备了“返回数据”的能力，如果同时具备“发送数据”的能力，就再也不必通过那些蹩脚的手法绕路而行了。在PHP里面，通过Generator的send()接口（注意：不再是next()接口），可以完成“发送数据”的任务，从而实现了真正的“双向通信”。

function gen() {
    $ret = (yield 'yield1');
    echo "[gen]", $ret, "\n";
    $ret = (yield 'yield2');
    echo "[gen]", $ret, "\n";
}

$gen = gen();
$ret = $gen->current();
echo "[main]", $ret, "\n";
$ret = $gen->send("send1");
echo "[main]", $ret, "\n";
$ret = $gen->send("send2");
echo "[main]", $ret, "\n";

/*
 * [main]yield1
 * [gen]send1
 * [main]yield2
 * [gen]send2
 * [main]
 */

图 3 Coroutine双向通信示例

作为C/C++系码农，发现“可重入”、“双向通信”能力之后，貌似没有更多奢求了，不过PHP还是比较慷慨，继续添加了Exception机制，“错误处理”机制得到进一步完善。

function gen() {
    $ret = (yield 'yield1');
    echo "[gen]", $ret, "\n";
    try {
        $ret = (yield 'yield2');
        echo "[gen]", $ret, "\n";
    } catch (Exception $ex) {
        echo "[gen][Exception]", $ex->getMessage(), "\n";
    }
    echo "[gen]finish\n";
}

$gen = gen();
$ret = $gen->current();
echo "[main]", $ret, "\n";
$ret = $gen->send("send1");
echo "[main]", $ret, "\n";
$ret = $gen->throw(new Exception("Test"));
echo "[main]", $ret, "\n";

/*
 * [main]yield1
 * [gen]send1
 * [main]yield2
 * [gen][Exception]Test
 * [gen]finish
 * [main]
 */

实战演习

前面简单介绍了相关的语言设施，那么具体到实际项目中，到底应该如何运用呢？让我们继续《一次失败的PHP扩展开发之旅》描述的场景，借助上述特性实现那个美好的愿望：以同步方式书写异步代码！

<?php

            foreach ($this->tasks as list($socket)) {

                if (!$len) {
                    //echo "socket_recvfrom fail.\n";
                    continue;
                }
                if ($one == $this->socket) {
                    //echo "[Run]request recvfrom succ. data=$data ip=$ip port=$port\n";
                    $handler = $this->handler;
                    $coroutine = $handler($one, $data, $len, $ip, $port);
                    $task = $coroutine->current();
                    //echo "[Run]AsyncTask recv. data=$task->data ip=$task->ip port=$task->port timeout=$task->timeout\n";
                    $socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);

                        continue;
                    }
                    if (!socket_set_nonblock($socket)) {
                        //echo socket_strerror(socket_last_error())."\n";
                        $coroutine->throw(new Exception(socket_strerror(socket_last_error()), socket_last_error()));
                        continue;
                    }
                    socket_sendto($socket, $task->data, $task->len, 0, $task->ip, $task->port);
                    $this->tasks[$socket] = [$socket, $coroutine];
                } else {
                    //echo "[Run]response recvfrom succ. data=$data ip=$ip port=$port\n";
                    if (!isset($this->tasks[$one])) {
                        //echo "no async_task found.\n";
                    } else {
                        list($socket, $coroutine) = $this->tasks[$one];
                        unset($this->tasks[$one]);
                        socket_close($socket);
                        $coroutine->send(array($data, $len));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

class AsyncTask {
    public $data;
    public $len;
    public $ip;
    public $port;
    public $timeout;

    public function __construct($data, $len, $ip, $port, $timeout) {
        $this->data = $data;
        $this->len = $len;
        $this->ip = $ip;
        $this->port = $port;
        $this->timeout = $timeout;
    }
}

function RequestHandler($socket, $req_buf, $req_len, $ip, $port) {
    //echo "[RequestHandler] before yield AsyncTask. REQ=$req_buf\n";
    list($rsp_buf, $rsp_len) = (yield new AsyncTask($req_buf, $req_len, "127.0.0.1", 2345, 1000));
    //echo "[RequestHandler] after yield AsyncTask. RSP=$rsp_buf\n";
    socket_sendto($socket, $rsp_buf, $rsp_len, 0, $ip, $port);
}

$server = new AsyncServer(RequestHandler);
$server->Run();

?>

代码解读：

为了便于说明问题，这里所有底层通讯基于UDP，省略了TCP的connect等繁琐细节
AsyncServer为底层框架类，封装了网络通讯细节以及协程切换细节，通过socket进行coroutine绑定
RequestHandler为业务处理函数，通过yield new AsyncTask()实现异步网络交互

第二版完善

第一版遗留问题：

异步网络交互的timeout未实现，仅预留了接口参数
yield new AsyncTask()调用方式不够自然，略感别扭

$server->Run();

?>

代码解读：

借助PHP内置array能力，实现简单的“超时管理”，以毫秒为精度作为时间分片
封装AsyncSendRecv接口，调用形如yield AsyncSendRecv()，更加自然
添加Exception作为错误处理机制，添加ret_code亦可，仅为展示之用

性能测试

async_svr_v1.php	16000/s	15000/s
async_svr_v2.php	11000/s	10000/s

展望未来

有兴趣的PHPer可以基于该思路进行底层框架封装，对于常见阻塞操作进行封装，比如：connect、send、recv、sleep ...
本人接触PHP时日尚浅，很多用法非最优，高手可有针对性优化，性能应该可以继续提高
目前基于socket进行coroutine绑定，如果基于TCP通信，每次connect/close，开销过大，需要考虑实现连接池
python等语言也有类似的语言设施，有兴趣的读者可以自行研究
