redis专属链表ziplist使用代码示例

本篇文章小编给大家分享一下redis专属链表ziplist使用代码示例，文章代码介绍的很详细，小编觉得挺不错的，现在分享给大家供大家参考，有需要的小伙伴们可以来看看。

问题抛出

用过 Python 的列表吗？就是那种可以存储任意类型数据的，支持随机读取的数据结构。

没有用过的话那就没办法了。

本质上这种列表可以使用数组、链表作为其底层结构，不知道Python中的列表是以什么作为底层结构的。

但是redis的列表既不是用链表，也不是用数组作为其底层实现的，原因也显而易见：数组不方便，弄个二维的？柔性的？怎么写？链表可以实现，通用链表嘛，数据域放 void* 就可以实现列表功能。但是，链表的缺点也很明显，容易造成内存碎片。

在这个大环境下，秉承着“能省就省”的指导思想，请你设计一款数据结构。

这个图挺详细哈，都省得我对每一个字段释义了，整挺好。

其他话，文件开头的注释也讲的很清楚了。（ziplist.c）

/* The ziplist is a specially encoded dually linked list that is designed
 * to be very memory efficient. It stores both strings and integer values,
 * where integers are encoded as actual integers instead of a series of
 * characters. It allows push and pop operations on either side of the list
 * in O(1) time. However, because every operation requires a reallocation of
 * the memory used by the ziplist, the actual complexity is related to the
 * amount of memory used by the ziplist.
 *
 * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * ZIPLIST OVERALL LAYOUT
 * ======================
 *
 * The general layout of the ziplist is as follows:
 *
 *      ...  
 *
 * NOTE: all fields are stored in little endian, if not specified otherwise.
 *
 *  is an unsigned integer to hold the number of bytes that
 * the ziplist occupies, including the four bytes of the zlbytes field itself.
 * This value needs to be stored to be able to resize the entire structure
 * without the need to traverse it first.
 *
 *  is the offset to the last entry in the list. This allows
 * a pop operation on the far side of the list without the need for full
 * traversal.
 *
 *  is the number of entries. When there are more than
 * 2^16-2 entries, this value is set to 2^16-1 and we need to traverse the
 * entire list to know how many items it holds.
 *
 *  is a special entry representing the end of the ziplist.
 * Is encoded as a single byte equal to 255. No other normal entry starts
 * with a byte set to the value of 255.
 *
 * ZIPLIST ENTRIES
 * ===============
 *
 * Every entry in the ziplist is prefixed by metadata that contains two pieces
 * of information. First, the length of the previous entry is stored to be
 * able to traverse the list from back to front. Second, the entry encoding is
 * provided. It represents the entry type, integer or string, and in the case
 * of strings it also represents the length of the string payload.
 * So a complete entry is stored like this:
 *
 *   
 *
 * Sometimes the encoding represents the entry itself, like for small integers
 * as we'll see later. In such a case the  part is missing, and we
 * could have just:
 *
 *  
 *
 * The length of the previous entry, , is encoded in the following way:
 * If this length is smaller than 254 bytes, it will only consume a single
 * byte representing the length as an unsinged 8 bit integer. When the length
 * is greater than or equal to 254, it will consume 5 bytes. The first byte is
 * set to 254 (FE) to indicate a larger value is following. The remaining 4
 * bytes take the length of the previous entry as value.
 *
 * So practically an entry is encoded in the following way:
 *
 *   
 *
 * Or alternatively if the previous entry length is greater than 253 bytes
 * the following encoding is used:
 *
 * 0xFE <4 bytes unsigned little endian prevlen>  
 *
 * The encoding field of the entry depends on the content of the
 * entry. When the entry is a string, the first 2 bits of the encoding first
 * byte will hold the type of encoding used to store the length of the string,
 * followed by the actual length of the string. When the entry is an integer
 * the first 2 bits are both set to 1. The following 2 bits are used to specify
 * what kind of integer will be stored after this header. An overview of the
 * different types and encodings is as follows. The first byte is always enough
 * to determine the kind of entry.
 *
 * |00pppppp| - 1 byte
 *      String value with length less than or equal to 63 bytes (6 bits).
 *      "pppppp" represents the unsigned 6 bit length.
 * |01pppppp|qqqqqqqq| - 2 bytes
 *      String value with length less than or equal to 16383 bytes (14 bits).
 *      IMPORTANT: The 14 bit number is stored in big endian.
 * |10000000|qqqqqqqq|rrrrrrrr|ssssssss|tttttttt| - 5 bytes
 *      String value with length greater than or equal to 16384 bytes.
 *      Only the 4 bytes following the first byte represents the length
 *      up to 2^32-1. The 6 lower bits of the first byte are not used and
 *      are set to zero.
 *      IMPORTANT: The 32 bit number is stored in big endian.
 * |11000000| - 3 bytes
 *      Integer encoded as int16_t (2 bytes).
 * |11010000| - 5 bytes
 *      Integer encoded as int32_t (4 bytes).
 * |11100000| - 9 bytes
 *      Integer encoded as int64_t (8 bytes).
 * |11110000| - 4 bytes
 *      Integer encoded as 24 bit signed (3 bytes).
 * |11111110| - 2 bytes
 *      Integer encoded as 8 bit signed (1 byte).
 * |1111xxxx| - (with xxxx between 0000 and 1101) immediate 4 bit integer.
 *      Unsigned integer from 0 to 12. The encoded value is actually from
 *      1 to 13 because 0000 and 1111 can not be used, so 1 should be
 *      subtracted from the encoded 4 bit value to obtain the right value.
 * |11111111| - End of ziplist special entry.
 *
 * Like for the ziplist header, all the integers are represented in little
 * endian byte order, even when this code is compiled in big endian systems.
 *
 * EXAMPLES OF ACTUAL ZIPLISTS
 * ===========================
 *
 * The following is a ziplist containing the two elements representing
 * the strings "2" and "5". It is composed of 15 bytes, that we visually
 * split into sections:
 *
 *  [0f 00 00 00] [0c 00 00 00] [02 00] [00 f3] [02 f6] [ff]
 *        |             |          |       |       |     |
 *     zlbytes        zltail    entries   "2"     "5"   end
 *
 * The first 4 bytes represent the number 15, that is the number of bytes
 * the whole ziplist is composed of. The second 4 bytes are the offset
 * at which the last ziplist entry is found, that is 12, in fact the
 * last entry, that is "5", is at offset 12 inside the ziplist.
 * The next 16 bit integer represents the number of elements inside the
 * ziplist, its value is 2 since there are just two elements inside.
 * Finally "00 f3" is the first entry representing the number 2. It is
 * composed of the previous entry length, which is zero because this is
 * our first entry, and the byte F3 which corresponds to the encoding
 * |1111xxxx| with xxxx between 0001 and 1101. We need to remove the "F"
 * higher order bits 1111, and subtract 1 from the "3", so the entry value
 * is "2". The next entry has a prevlen of 02, since the first entry is
 * composed of exactly two bytes. The entry itself, F6, is encoded exactly
 * like the first entry, and 6-1 = 5, so the value of the entry is 5.
 * Finally the special entry FF signals the end of the ziplist.
 *
 * Adding another element to the above string with the value "Hello World"
 * allows us to show how the ziplist encodes small strings. We'll just show
 * the hex dump of the entry itself. Imagine the bytes as following the
 * entry that stores "5" in the ziplist above:
 *
 * [02] [0b] [48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64]
 *
 * The first byte, 02, is the length of the previous entry. The next
 * byte represents the encoding in the pattern |00pppppp| that means
 * that the entry is a string of length , so 0B means that
 * an 11 bytes string follows. From the third byte (48) to the last (64)
 * there are just the ASCII characters for "Hello World".

对“链表”插入数据有几个步骤？

1、偏移

2、插进去

3、缝合

那这个“列表”，比较特殊一点，特殊在哪里？特殊在它比较紧凑，而且数据类型，其实也就两种，要么integer，要么string。所以它的步骤是？

1、数据重新编码

2、解析数据并分配空间

3、接入数据

重新编码

什么是重新编码？插入一个元素，是不是需要对：“前一个元素的大小、本身大小、当前元素编码” 这些数据进行一个统计，然后一并插入。就编这个。

插入位置无非三个，头中尾。

头：前一个元素大小为0，因为前面没有元素。

中：待插入位置后一个元素记录的“前一个元素大小”，当然，之后本身大小就成为了后一个元素眼中的“前一个元素大小”。

尾：那就要把三个字段加起来了。

具体怎么重新编码就不看了吧，这篇本来就已经很长了。

解析数据

再往下就是解析数据了。

首先尝试将数据解析为整数，如果可以解析，就按照压缩列表整数类型编码存储；如果解析失败，就按照压缩列表字节数组类型编码存储。

解析之后，数值存储在 value 中，编码格式存储在 encoding中。如果解析成功，还要计算整数所占字节数。变量 reqlen 存储当前元素所需空间大小，再累加其他两个字段的空间大小，就是本节点所需空间大小了。

重新分配空间

看注释这架势，咋滴，还存在没地方给它塞？

来我们看看。

这里的分配空间不是简单的就新插进来的数据多少空间就分配多少，如果没有仔细阅读上面那段英文的话，嗯，可以选择绕回去仔细阅读一下那个节点组成。特别是那个：

/*
* The length of the previous entry, , is encoded in the following way:
* If this length is smaller than 254 bytes, it will only consume a single
* byte representing the length as an unsinged 8 bit integer. When the length
* is greater than or equal to 254, it will consume 5 bytes. The first byte is
* set to 254 (FE) to indicate a larger value is following. The remaining 4
* bytes take the length of the previous entry as value.
*/

所以这个 previous 就是个不确定因素。有可能人家本来是 1 1 排列的，中间插进来一个之后变成 1 1 5 排列了；也有可能人家是1 5 排列的、5 1 排列的，总之就是不确定。

所以，在 entryX 的位置插入一个数据之后，entryX+1 的 previous 可能不变，可能加四，也可能减四，谁也说不准。说不准那不就得测一下嘛。所以就测一下，仅此而已。

接入数据

数据怎么接入？鉴于这里真心不是链表，是列表。

所以，按数组那一套来。对。

很麻烦吧。其实不麻烦，你在redis里见过它给你中间插入的机会了吗？更不要说头插了，你见过它给你头插的机会了吗？

插个题外话：大数据插入时，数组不一定输给链表。在尾插的时候，数组的优势是远超链表的（当然，仅限于尾插）。在我两个月前的博客里有做过这一系列的实验。

删就不写了吧，增的逆操作，从系列开始就没写过删。不过这里删就不可避免的大量数据进行复制了（如果不真删，只是做个删除标志呢？这样会省时间，但是时候会造成内存碎片化。不过可以设计一个定期调整内存的函数，比方说重用三分之一的块之后紧凑一下？内存不够用的时候紧凑一下？STL就是这么干的）。

查也没啥好讲的了吧，这个数据结构的应用场景一般就是对键进行检索，这里就是个值，不一样的是这个值是一串的。

所以除了提供原有的前后向遍历之外，还提供了 range 查询，不难的。
