Delphi异步编程:匿名线程与匿名方法

异步编程,是项目中非常有用的而且常用的一种方法,大多以线程实现。

而Delphi传统方法使用线程略为烦琐,好在其后续版本中,提供一些方法,简化一些操作。

几个概念:

匿名线程:TAnonymousThread,Delphi XE始支持。

匿名方法:reference to procedure|function,Delphi 2009 始支持。

匿名线程

其实只是创建一个线程,传入一匿名方法并执行,实现倒也简单,我就移其入Dephi 2009中。其实义如下:

  TAnonymousThread = class(TThread)
  private
    FProc: TProc;
  protected
    procedure Execute; override;
  public
    constructor Create(const AProc: TProc);
  end;
{ TAnonymousThread }

constructor TAnonymousThread.Create(const AProc: TProc);
begin
  inherited Create(True);
  FreeOnTerminate := True;
  FProc := AProc;
end;

procedure TAnonymousThread.Execute;
begin
  FProc();
end;

这样,使用简单的多线程,就不必再继承TThread类创建自己线程去工作了。其参数TProc,即为一匿名方法。

而在TThread类中,定义一类方法直接创建,其方法为:

    // CreateAnonymousThread will create an instance of an internally derived TThread that simply will call the
    // anonymous method of type TProc. This thread is created as suspended, so you should call the Start method
    // to make the thread run. The thread is also marked as FreeOnTerminate, so you should not touch the returned
    // instance after calling Start as it could have run and is then freed before another external calls or
    // operations on the instance are attempted.
    class function CreateAnonymousThread(const ThreadProc: TProc): TThread; static;
class function TThread.CreateAnonymousThread(const ThreadProc: TProc): TThread;
begin
  Result := TAnonymousThread.Create(ThreadProc);
end;

由此可见,一行代码即可实现简单的线程操作。

匿名方法

自定义匿名方法,正式语法为:

type
  TFun = reference to function(const num: Integer): Integer;

procedure也是一样。但在SysUtils单元中,已内置一些预定义类型并且支持泛型,可直接拿来用,如下所示:

// Generic Anonymous method declarations
type
  TProc = reference to procedure;
  TProc<T> = reference to procedure (Arg1: T);
  TProc<T1,T2> = reference to procedure (Arg1: T1; Arg2: T2);
  TProc<T1,T2,T3> = reference to procedure (Arg1: T1; Arg2: T2; Arg3: T3);
  TProc<T1,T2,T3,T4> = reference to procedure (Arg1: T1; Arg2: T2; Arg3: T3; Arg4: T4);

  TFunc<TResult> = reference to function: TResult;
  TFunc<T,TResult> = reference to function (Arg1: T): TResult;
  TFunc<T1,T2,TResult> = reference to function (Arg1: T1; Arg2: T2): TResult;
  TFunc<T1,T2,T3,TResult> = reference to function (Arg1: T1; Arg2: T2; Arg3: T3): TResult;
  TFunc<T1,T2,T3,T4,TResult> = reference to function (Arg1: T1; Arg2: T2; Arg3: T3; Arg4: T4): TResult;

  TPredicate<T> = reference to function (Arg1: T): Boolean;

我是喜欢懒省事的,有已有的即不再自写,上面诸多类型,已能应对大多数使用场景了。

需要注意的是TFunc使用方法,因为它有返回值。比如TFunc<Integer, Interger>就与TFun实现原理一样。

可验证如下代码:

procedure TfrmMain.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  f1: TFun;
  f2: TFunc<Integer, string>;
begin
  f1 := function (const num: Integer): Integer
  begin
    Result := num * num;
  end;
  OutputDebugString(PChar('f1(9) = ' + IntToStr(f1(9))));  //Debug output: f1(9) = 81

  f2 := function (num: Integer): string
  begin
    Result := IntToStr(num * num);
  end;
  OutputDebugString(PChar('f2(9) = ' + f2(9)));    //Debug output: f2(9) = 81
end;

由此可延伸开来,匿名线程与匿名方法结合,可简单的执行并行操作,举例如下:

procedure TfrmMain.btnStartClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Edit1.Text := 'start...';
  TThread.CreateAnonymousThread(
    procedure
    var
      i: Integer;
    begin
      Sleep(3000);
      for i := 0 to 99999 do
        TThread.Synchronize(nil,
          procedure
          begin
            Edit1.Text := IntToStr(i);
          end
        );
      Edit1.Text := 'end.';  //此处亦要同步,懒省事没整Synchornize
    end
  ).Start;
end;

创建一匿名线程,传以匿名方法,并同步主线程显示,工作正常。相比c#之{}来说,begin..end的确看起业不像话。

多省事,是不是?
