Runloop应用实例
AFNetworking
AFURLConnectionOperation 这个类是基于 NSURLConnection 构建的,其希望能在后台线程接收 Delegate 回调。为此 AFNetworking 单独创建了一个线程,并在这个线程中启动了一个 RunLoop:

+ (void)networkRequestThreadEntryPoint:(id)__unused object { @autoreleasepool { [[NSThread currentThread] setName:@ "AFNetworking" ]; NSRunLoop *runLoop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop]; [runLoop addPort:[NSMachPort port] forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode]; [runLoop run]; } } + (NSThread *)networkRequestThread { static NSThread *_networkRequestThread = nil; static dispatch_once_t oncePredicate; dispatch_once(&oncePredicate, ^{ _networkRequestThread = [[NSThread alloc] initWithTarget:self selector:@selector(networkRequestThreadEntryPoint:) object:nil]; [_networkRequestThread start]; }); return _networkRequestThread; } |
RunLoop 启动前内部必须要有至少一个 Timer/Observer/Source,所以 AFNetworking 在 [runLoop run] 之前先创建了一个新的 NSMachPort 添加进去了。通常情况下,调用者需要持有这个 NSMachPort (mach_port) 并在外部线程通过这个 port 发送消息到 loop 内;但此处添加 port 只是为了让 RunLoop 不至于退出,并没有用于实际的发送消息。

- (void)start { [self.lock lock]; if ([self isCancelled]) { [self performSelector:@selector(cancelConnection) onThread:[[self class] networkRequestThread] withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO modes:[self.runLoopModes allObjects]]; } else if ([self isReady]) { self.state = AFOperationExecutingState; [self performSelector:@selector(operationDidStart) onThread:[[self class] networkRequestThread] withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO modes:[self.runLoopModes allObjects]]; } [self.lock unlock]; } |
当需要这个后台线程执行任务时,AFNetworking 通过调用 [NSObject performSelector:onThread:..] 将这个任务扔到了后台线程的 RunLoop 中。
