C++中mutable与volatile C++中mutable与volatile的深入理解

tlanyan 人气:0

前言

C++中修饰数据可变的关键字有三个:const、volatile和mutable。const比较好理解,表示其修饰的内容不可改变(至少编译期不可改变),而volatile和mutable恰好相反,指示数据总是可变的。mutable和volatile均可以和const搭配使用,但两者在使用上有比较大差别。

下面话不多说了,来一起看看详细的介绍吧

mutable

mutable只能作用在类成员上,指示其数据总是可变的。不能和const 同时修饰一个成员,但能配合使用:const修饰的方法中,mutable修饰的成员数据可以发生改变,除此之外不应该对类/对象带来副作用。

考虑一个mutable的使用场景:呼叫系统中存有司机(Driver)的信息,为了保护司机的隐私,司机对外展现的联系号码每隔五分钟从空闲号码池更新一次。根据需求,Driver类的实现如下伪代码:

class Driver {
private:
...
// real phone number
string phone;
// display phone number
mutable string displayPhone;

public:
string getDisplayPhone() const {
if (needUpdate()) {
lock.lock();
if (needUpdate()) {
updateDisplayPhone(); // displayPhone在这里被改变
}
lock.unlock();
}
return displayPhone;
}
};

在上述代码中,const方法中不允许对常规成员进行变动,但mutable成员不受此限制。对Driver类来说,其固有属性(姓名、年龄、真实手机号等)未发生改变,符合const修饰。mutable让一些随时可变的展示属性能发生改变,达到了灵活编程的目的。

volatile

volatile用于修饰成员或变量,指示其修饰对象可能随时变化,编译器不要对所修饰变量进行优化(缓存),每次取值应该直接读取内存。由于volatile的变化来自运行期,其可以与const一起使用。两者一起使用可能让人费解,如果考虑场景就容易许多:CPU和GPU通过映射公用内存中的同一块,GPU可能随时往共享内存中写数据。对CPU上的程序来说,const修饰变量一直是右值,所以编译通过。但其变量内存中的值在运行期间可能随时在改变,volatile修饰是正确做法。

在多线程环境下,volatile可用作内存同步手段。例如多线程爆破密码:

volatile bool found = false;

void run(string target) {
while (!found) {
// 计算字典口令的哈希
if (target == hash) {
found = true;
break;
}
}
}

在volatile的修饰下,每次循环都会检查内存中的值,达到同步的效果。

需要注意的是,volatile的值可能随时会变,期间会导致非预期的结果。例如下面的例子求平方和:

double square(volatile double a, volatile double b) {
return (a + b) * (a + b);
}

a和b都是随时可变的,所以上述代码中的第一个a + b可能和第二个不同,导致出现非预期的结果。这种情况下,正确做法是将值赋予常规变量,然后再相乘:

double square(volatile double a, volatile double b) {
double c = a + b;
return c * c;
}

一般说来,volatile用在如下的几个地方:

1. 中断服务程序中修改的供其它程序检测的变量需要加volatile;

2. 多任务环境下各任务间共享的标志应该加volatile;

3. 存储器映射的硬件寄存器通常也要加volatile说明,因为每次对它的读写都可能有不同意义;

总结

mutable只能用与类变量,不能与const同时使用;在const修饰的方法中,mutable变量数值可以发生改变;
volatile只是运行期变量的值随时可能改变,这种改变即可能来自其他线程,也可能来自外部系统。

下面是其他网友的补充

C/C++中的volatile关键字和const对应,用来修饰变量,用于告诉编译器该变量值是不稳定的,可能被更改。使用volatile注意事项:

(1). 编译器会对带有volatile关键字的变量禁用优化(A volatile specifier is a hint to a compiler that an object may change its value in ways not specified by the language so that aggressive optimizations must be avoided)。

(2). 当多个线程都要用到某一个变量且该变量的值会被改变时应该用volatile声明,该关键字的作用是防止编译器优化把变量从内存装入CPU寄存器中。如果变量被装入寄存器,那么多个线程有可能有的使用内存中的变量,有的使用寄存器中的变量,这会造成程序的错误执行。volatile的意思是让编译器每次操作该变量时一定要从内存中取出,而不是使用已经存在寄存器中的值(It cannot cache the variables in register)。

(3). 中断服务程序中访问到的变量最好带上volatile。

(4). 并行设备的硬件寄存器的变量最好带上volatile。

(5). 声明的变量可以同时带有const和volatile关键字。

(6). 多个volatile变量间的操作,是不会被编译器交换顺序的,能够保证volatile变量间的顺序性,编译器不会进行乱序优化(The value cannot change in order of assignment)。但volatile变量和非volatile变量之间的顺序,编译器不保证顺序,可能会进行乱序优化。

C++中的mutable关键字使用场景:

(1). 允许即使包含它的对象被声明为const时仍可修改声明为mutable的类成员(sometimes there is requirement to modify one or more data members of class/struct through const function even though you don't want the function to update other members of class/struct. This task can be easily performed by using mutable keyword)。

(2). 应用在C++11 lambda表达式来表示按值捕获的值是可修改的,默认情况下是不可修改的,但修改仅在lambda式内有效(since c++11 mutable can be used on a lambda to denote that things captured by value are modifiable (they aren't by default))。
