objc_autoreleaseReturnValue是什么意思?

我有一个方法createATestObject 。 正如其名称所示,它创建一个对象并将其返回。 代码很简单,它在ARC下。

 - (TestObj *)createATestObj { return [[TestObj alloc] init] ; } 

我汇编文件并获取下面的汇编代码。

 Lfunc_begin4: .cfi_startproc @ BB#0: push {r7, lr} mov r7, sp sub sp, #8 @DEBUG_VALUE: -[ViewController createATestObj]:self <- undef @DEBUG_VALUE: -[ViewController createATestObj]:_cmd <- undef str r0, [sp, #4] str r1, [sp] movw r0, :lower16:(L_OBJC_CLASSLIST_REFERENCES_$_-(LPC4_0+4)) movt r0, :upper16:(L_OBJC_CLASSLIST_REFERENCES_$_-(LPC4_0+4)) LPC4_0: add r0, pc ldr r0, [r0] movw r1, :lower16:(L_OBJC_SELECTOR_REFERENCES_10-(LPC4_1+4)) movt r1, :upper16:(L_OBJC_SELECTOR_REFERENCES_10-(LPC4_1+4)) LPC4_1: add r1, pc ldr r1, [r1] blx _objc_msgSend movw r1, :lower16:(L_OBJC_SELECTOR_REFERENCES_-(LPC4_2+4)) movt r1, :upper16:(L_OBJC_SELECTOR_REFERENCES_-(LPC4_2+4)) LPC4_2: add r1, pc ldr r1, [r1] blx _objc_msgSend add sp, #8 pop.w {r7, lr} bw _objc_autoreleaseReturnValue Ltmp13: Lfunc_end4: .cfi_endproc 

我注意到函数_objc_autoreleaseReturnValue并从此处获取有关它的参考。 但我不知道这意味着什么。 任何人都可以详细说明吗? 非常感谢。

id objc_autoreleaseReturnValue(id value);

前提条件:value为null或指向有效对象的指针。

如果value为null,则此调用无效。 否则,它会尽最大努力将对象的保留计数的所有权移交给对封闭调用帧中的同一对象的objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue调用。 如果不可能,则如上所述自动释放对象。

始终返回值。

首先感谢@Darren,感谢您的链接。

我在链接中引用了一些段落。

如果调用者和被调用者都是ARC,ARC有一个技巧可以将返回的对象保留在自动释放池之外。

但是这有什么作用呢? ARC的一个特性是旧的ARC编译代码(MRC代码)可以调用ARC代码,反之亦然。 但是,如果ARC代码没有将返回的对象放入MRC代码所期望的自动释放池中,那么该对象就会泄漏。

因此,ARC-ified clang代码在返回对象时会发出此函数调用:objc_autoreleaseReturnValue(id)。

如果你看一下objc_autoreleaseReturnValue的实现 ,它会调用callerAcceptsFastAutorelease()。 即使您没有阅读x86_64或ARM程序集,代码的注释也是直截了当的:

 /* Fast handling of returned autoreleased values. The caller and callee cooperate to keep the returned object out of the autorelease pool. Caller: ret = callee(); objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue(ret); // use ret here Callee: // compute ret [ret retain]; return objc_autoreleaseReturnValue(ret); objc_autoreleaseReturnValue() examines the caller's instructions following the return. If the caller's instructions immediately call objc_autoreleaseReturnValue, then the callee omits the -autorelease and saves the result in thread-local storage. If the caller does not look like it cooperates, then the callee calls -autorelease as usual. objc_autoreleaseReturnValue checks if the returned value is the same as the one in thread-local storage. If it is, the value is used directly. If not, the value is assumed to be truly autoreleased and is retained again. In either case, the caller now has a retained reference to the value. Tagged pointer objects do participate in the fast autorelease scheme, because it saves message sends. They are not entered in the autorelease pool in the slow case. */ 

来自我的东西

我们来看看objc_autoreleaseReturnValue的源代码。

 id objc_autoreleaseReturnValue(id obj) { #if SUPPORT_RETURN_AUTORELEASE assert(tls_get_direct(AUTORELEASE_POOL_RECLAIM_KEY) == NULL); if (callerAcceptsFastAutorelease(__builtin_return_address(0))) { tls_set_direct(AUTORELEASE_POOL_RECLAIM_KEY, obj); return obj; } #endif return objc_autorelease(obj); } 

__builtin_return_address(0) 返回当前函数的返回地址 ,然后让我们看一下arm版本的callerAcceptsFastAutorelease的实现:

 static bool callerAcceptsFastAutorelease(const void *ra) { // if the low bit is set, we're returning to thumb mode if ((uintptr_t)ra & 1) { // 3f 46 mov r7, r7 // we mask off the low bit via subtraction if (*(uint16_t *)((uint8_t *)ra - 1) == 0x463f) { return true; } } else { // 07 70 a0 e1 mov r7, r7 if (*(uint32_t *)ra == 0xe1a07007) { return true; } } return false; } 

在该方法中,它查找指令mov r7, r7 ,它是objc_retainAutoreleaseReturnValue的标记,如果找到,则该方法返回true ,因此被调用者将省略自动释放。

在我的例子中,您可以看到调用者的汇编代码,它是testFun1

 - (void)testFun1:(ViewController *)vc { [vc createATestObj] ; } 

下面是汇编代码,你可以找到“mov r7,r7 @ marker for objc_retainAutoreleaseReturnValue”这一行

  .cfi_startproc @ BB#0: push {r7, lr} mov r7, sp sub sp, #16 add r3, sp, #4 movw r9, #0 movt r9, #0 str r0, [sp, #12] str r1, [sp, #8] str.w r9, [sp, #4] mov r0, r3 mov r1, r2 bl _objc_storeStrong movw r0, :lower16:(L_objc_msgSend$non_lazy_ptr-(LPC5_0+4)) movt r0, :upper16:(L_objc_msgSend$non_lazy_ptr-(LPC5_0+4)) LPC5_0: add r0, pc ldr r0, [r0] movw r1, :lower16:(L_OBJC_SELECTOR_REFERENCES_12-(LPC5_1+4)) movt r1, :upper16:(L_OBJC_SELECTOR_REFERENCES_12-(LPC5_1+4)) LPC5_1: add r1, pc Ltmp14: ldr r2, [sp, #4] ldr r1, [r1] str r0, [sp] @ 4-byte Spill mov r0, r2 ldr r2, [sp] @ 4-byte Reload blx r2 @ InlineAsm Start mov r7, r7 @ marker for objc_retainAutoreleaseReturnValue .code 16 @ InlineAsm End bl _objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue bl _objc_release movs r1, #0 movt r1, #0 add r0, sp, #4 bl _objc_storeStrong add sp, #16 pop {r7, pc} Ltmp15: Lfunc_end5: .cfi_endproc 

更新:

我认为苹果实施的评论中存在一些错误。

正确的评论应该是这样的:

 /* Fast handling of returned autoreleased values. The caller and callee cooperate to keep the returned object out of the autorelease pool. Caller: ret = callee(); objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue(ret); // use ret here Callee: // compute ret [ret retain]; return objc_autoreleaseReturnValue(ret); objc_autoreleaseReturnValue() examines the caller's instructions following the return. If the caller's instructions immediately call objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue, then the callee omits the -autorelease and saves the result in thread-local storage. If the caller does not look like it cooperates, then the callee calls -autorelease as usual. objc_retainAutoreleasedReturnValue checks if the returned value is the same as the one in thread-local storage. If it is, the value is used directly. If not, the value is assumed to be truly autoreleased and is retained again. In either case, the caller now has a retained reference to the value. Tagged pointer objects do participate in the fast autorelease scheme, because it saves message sends. They are not entered in the autorelease pool in the slow case. */
