大家，我是东风，今天抽点时间整理一下我很久前关注的一个不错的库，可以支持我们在使用标准C++的时候使用信号槽机制进行观察者模式设计，sigslot 官网： http://sigslot.sourceforge.net/  

        本文较为详尽探讨了一种观察者模式的精妙实现方式，即2002年由Sarah Thompson匠心设计的sigslot库。该库以其高效、灵活的特点，在信号与槽的连接管理上展现出卓越性能，成为事件驱动编程领域中的一大亮点。 

1.sigslot 类结构

        其中，以 _signal_base_interface 为基类的派生系列主要实现信号的链接与触发机制；以 has_slots_interface 为基类的派生系列主要实现槽对象，提供信号操作的对象；mt_policy、lock_block 则主要实现类似std::lock_guard<>的锁机制，确保线程安全。此外，很重要的一个类 _opaque_connection，它是槽对象的逻辑存储节点，在一定程度上解耦了信号与槽的直接联系。 

2.源码疑问注解

2.1.信号与槽

//template <class mt_policy>
//class _signal_base
typedef std::list<_opaque_connection> connections_list;connections_list m_connected_slots; //template <class mt_policy = SIGSLOT_DEFAULT_MT_POLICY>
//class has_slots
typedef std::set<_signal_base_interface*> sender_set;sender_set m_senders; 

可以这样理解，一个信号可以触发多个槽回调，同样，一个槽对象可以被多个信号触发。 

2.2.函数指针 cast 

        肯定不少人会对_opaque_connection的union实现函数指针 cast 表示疑问

template <typename FromT, typename ToT>
union union_caster {FromT from;ToT to;
}; 

        我先给出自己的理解：union_caster 实现将 FromT 类型转成 ToT。其中本质是利用以下两个性质：

    （1） union 同一时刻只能存储一个值，要么是 from，要么是 to

    （2）函数指针在同一平台上的字节大小是一样的

 基于这两点，那么执行下列代码时，会有以下效果（见代码） 

template <typename FromT, typename ToT>
union union_caster {FromT from;ToT to;
};void fun_t(int a)
{std::cout << "fun_t " << a << std::endl;
}void fun_f(int a,int b)
{std::cout << "fun_f " << a << "," << b << std::endl;
}int main()
{typedef void (*emit_t)(int a);typedef void (*em_t)(int a, int b);union_caster<em_t, emit_t> caster2;   // <em_t, emit_t>caster2.from = fun_f;//此时，只看数值，caster2.to == caster2.from == fun_femit_t pemit = caster2.to;union_caster<emit_t,em_t> caster;   // <emit_t,em_t> 巧妙完成类型转换caster.from = pemit;   //caster的from是caster2的to(caster.to)(30, 20);   //caster的to是caster2的from，因此这里等价 fun_f(30, 20)//验证想法std::cout << "sizeof fun_t(): " << sizeof(&fun_t) << "  sizeof fun_t(): " << sizeof(&fun_f) << std::endl;std::cout << "caster2.from: " << caster2.from << "  caster2.to: " << caster2.to << std::endl;std::cout << "caster.from: " << caster.from << "  caster.to: " << caster.to << std::endl;getchar();return 0;
}

3.库使用

这里我们先给一个常规的应用，可以参照作者示例

#include "sigslot.h"
#include <iostream>using namespace sigslot;class Switch
{
public:Switch(){}~Switch(){}public:signal1<int> ToggleLight;};class Light : public has_slots<>
{
public:Light() {};~Light() {};public:void TurnState(int a){std::cout << "Light on/off " << a << std::endl;}};int main()
{Switch s;Light l;s.ToggleLight.connect(&l,&Light::TurnState);//l.signal_disconnect(&(s.ToggleLight));//l.disconnect_all();//s.ToggleLight.disconnect(&l);s.ToggleLight.emit(1000);//s.ToggleLight.emit(1000);getchar();return 0;
}

        我认为只需搞明白connect()即可，其他行为就显而易见了。通过调试跟踪，我们可以发现，connect() 大概流程为：

        很显然，connect其实就是完成 m_senders 集合和 m_connected_slots 链表的更新，后续 emit() 、 disconnect()等等操作都是基于这两个数据结构来开展的。举个例子，当信号对象执行emit()时，不用查阅代码我们都可以知道，流程大概是：信号对象遍历 m_connected_slots ，针对每一个 _opaque_connection，回调它事先存储的槽对象成员方法。

TIPS:

      （1） has_slots<> 的 signal_connect()、signal_disconnect()成员只是操作了 m_senders，并没有更新 m_connected_slots；disconnect_all() 成员更新了 m_senders 和 m_connected_slots；

      （2）signal 的 connect()、disconnect() 等基本所有类似成员方法里都同时更新了 m_senders和 m_connected_slots。 

若有不对，提醒我啦！

// QUICK DOCUMENTATION
//
//        (see also the full documentation at http://sigslot.sourceforge.net/)
//
//    #define switches
//      SIGSLOT_PURE_ISO:
//        Define this to force ISO C++ compliance. This also disables all of
//        the thread safety support on platforms where it is available.
//
//      SIGSLOT_USE_POSIX_THREADS:
//        Force use of Posix threads when using a C++ compiler other than gcc
//        on a platform that supports Posix threads. (When using gcc, this is
//        the default - use SIGSLOT_PURE_ISO to disable this if necessary)
//
//      SIGSLOT_DEFAULT_MT_POLICY:
//        Where thread support is enabled, this defaults to
//        multi_threaded_global. Otherwise, the default is single_threaded.
//        #define this yourself to override the default. In pure ISO mode,
//        anything other than single_threaded will cause a compiler error.
//
//    PLATFORM NOTES
//
//      Win32:
//        On Win32, the WEBRTC_WIN symbol must be #defined. Most mainstream
//        compilers do this by default, but you may need to define it yourself
//        if your build environment is less standard. This causes the Win32
//        thread support to be compiled in and used automatically.
//
//      Unix/Linux/BSD, etc.:
//        If you're using gcc, it is assumed that you have Posix threads
//        available, so they are used automatically. You can override this (as
//        under Windows) with the SIGSLOT_PURE_ISO switch. If you're using
//        something other than gcc but still want to use Posix threads, you
//        need to #define SIGSLOT_USE_POSIX_THREADS.
//
//      ISO C++:
//        If none of the supported platforms are detected, or if
//        SIGSLOT_PURE_ISO is defined, all multithreading support is turned
//        off, along with any code that might cause a pure ISO C++ environment
//        to complain. Before you ask, gcc -ansi -pedantic won't compile this
//        library, but gcc -ansi is fine. Pedantic mode seems to throw a lot of
//        errors that aren't really there. If you feel like investigating this,
//        please contact the author.
//
//
//    THREADING MODES
//
//      single_threaded:
//        Your program is assumed to be single threaded from the point of view
//        of signal/slot usage (i.e. all objects using signals and slots are
//        created and destroyed from a single thread). Behaviour if objects are
//        destroyed concurrently is undefined (i.e. you'll get the occasional
//        segmentation fault/memory exception).
//
//      multi_threaded_global:
//        Your program is assumed to be multi threaded. Objects using signals
//        and slots can be safely created and destroyed from any thread, even
//        when connections exist. In multi_threaded_global mode, this is
//        achieved by a single global mutex (actually a critical section on
//        Windows because they are faster). This option uses less OS resources,
//        but results in more opportunities for contention, possibly resulting
//        in more context switches than are strictly necessary.
//
//      multi_threaded_local:
//        Behaviour in this mode is essentially the same as
//        multi_threaded_global, except that each signal, and each object that
//        inherits has_slots, all have their own mutex/critical section. In
//        practice, this means that mutex collisions (and hence context
//        switches) only happen if they are absolutely essential. However, on
//        some platforms, creating a lot of mutexes can slow down the whole OS,
//        so use this option with care.
//
//    USING THE LIBRARY
//
//      See the full documentation at http://sigslot.sourceforge.net/
//
// Libjingle specific:
//
// This file has been modified such that has_slots and signalx do not have to be
// using the same threading requirements. E.g. it is possible to connect a
// has_slots<single_threaded> and signal0<multi_threaded_local> or
// has_slots<multi_threaded_local> and signal0<single_threaded>.
// If has_slots is single threaded the user must ensure that it is not trying
// to connect or disconnect to signalx concurrently or data race may occur.
// If signalx is single threaded the user must ensure that disconnect, connect
// or signal is not happening concurrently or data race may occur.#ifndef RTC_BASE_THIRD_PARTY_SIGSLOT_SIGSLOT_H_
