Python yield与实现方法代码分析

yield的功能类似于return,但是不同之处在于它返回的是生成器。

生成器

生成器是通过一个或多个yield表达式构成的函数,每一个生成器都是一个迭代器(但是迭代器不一定是生成器)。

如果一个函数包含yield关键字,这个函数就会变为一个生成器。

生成器并不会一次返回所有结果,而是每次遇到yield关键字后返回相应结果,并保留函数当前的运行状态,等待下一次的调用。

由于生成器也是一个迭代器,那么它就应该支持next方法来获取下一个值。

基本操作

# 通过`yield`来创建生成器
def func():
 for i in xrange(10);
  yield i
# 通过列表来创建生成器
[i for i in xrange(10)]
# 通过`yield`来创建生成器
def func():
 for i in xrange(10);
  yield i
# 通过列表来创建生成器
[i for i in xrange(10)]
Python
# 调用如下
> f = func()
> f # 此时生成器还没有运行
<generator object func at 0x7fe01a853820>
> f.next() # 当i=0时,遇到yield关键字,直接返回
> f.next() # 继续上一次执行的位置,进入下一层循环
...
> f.next()
> f.next() # 当执行完最后一次循环后,结束yield语句,生成StopIteration异常
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
StopIteration
>
# 调用如下
> f = func()
> f # 此时生成器还没有运行
<generator object func at 0x7fe01a853820>
> f.next() # 当i=0时,遇到yield关键字,直接返回
> f.next() # 继续上一次执行的位置,进入下一层循环
...
> f.next()
> f.next() # 当执行完最后一次循环后,结束yield语句,生成StopIteration异常
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
StopIteration
>

除了next函数,生成器还支持send函数。该函数可以向生成器传递参数。

> def func():
...  n = 0
...  while 1:
...   n = yield n #可以通过send函数向n赋值
... 
> f = func()
> f.next() # 默认情况下n为0
> f.send(1) #n赋值1
> f.send(2)
> 
> def func():
...  n = 0
...  while 1:
...   n = yield n #可以通过send函数向n赋值
... 
> f = func()
> f.next() # 默认情况下n为0
> f.send(1) #n赋值1
> f.send(2)
> 

应用

最经典的例子,生成无限序列。

常规的解决方法是,生成一个满足要求的很大的列表,这个列表需要保存在内存中,很明显内存限制了这个问题。

def get_primes(start):
 for element in magical_infinite_range(start):
  if is_prime(element):
   return element
def get_primes(start):
 for element in magical_infinite_range(start):
  if is_prime(element):
   return element

如果使用生成器就不需要返回整个列表,每次都只是返回一个数据,避免了内存的限制问题。

def get_primes(number):
 while True:
  if is_prime(number):
   yield number
  number += 1
def get_primes(number):
 while True:
  if is_prime(number):
   yield number
  number += 1

生成器源码分析

生成器的源码在Objects/genobject.c。

调用栈

在解释生成器之前,需要讲解一下Python虚拟机的调用原理。

Python虚拟机有一个栈帧的调用栈,其中栈帧的是PyFrameObject,位于Include/frameobject.h。

typedef struct _frame {
 PyObject_VAR_HEAD
 struct _frame *f_back; /* previous frame, or NULL */
 PyCodeObject *f_code; /* code segment */
 PyObject *f_builtins; /* builtin symbol table (PyDictObject) */
 PyObject *f_globals; /* global symbol table (PyDictObject) */
 PyObject *f_locals;  /* local symbol table (any mapping) */
 PyObject **f_valuestack; /* points after the last local */
 /* Next free slot in f_valuestack. Frame creation sets to f_valuestack.
  Frame evaluation usually NULLs it, but a frame that yields sets it
  to the current stack top. */
 PyObject **f_stacktop;
 PyObject *f_trace;  /* Trace function */

 /* If an exception is raised in this frame, the next three are used to
  * record the exception info (if any) originally in the thread state. See
  * comments before set_exc_info() -- it's not obvious.
  * Invariant: if _type is NULL, then so are _value and _traceback.
  * Desired invariant: all three are NULL, or all three are non-NULL. That
  * one isn't currently true, but "should be".
  */
 PyObject *f_exc_type, *f_exc_value, *f_exc_traceback;

 PyThreadState *f_tstate;
 int f_lasti;  /* Last instruction if called */
 /* Call PyFrame_GetLineNumber() instead of reading this field
  directly. As of 2.3 f_lineno is only valid when tracing is
  active (i.e. when f_trace is set). At other times we use
  PyCode_Addr2Line to calculate the line from the current
  bytecode index. */
 int f_lineno;  /* Current line number */
 int f_iblock;  /* index in f_blockstack */
 PyTryBlock f_blockstack[CO_MAXBLOCKS]; /* for try and loop blocks */
 PyObject *f_localsplus[1]; /* locals+stack, dynamically sized */
} PyFrameObject;
typedef struct _frame {
 PyObject_VAR_HEAD
 struct _frame *f_back; /* previous frame, or NULL */
 PyCodeObject *f_code; /* code segment */
 PyObject *f_builtins; /* builtin symbol table (PyDictObject) */
 PyObject *f_globals; /* global symbol table (PyDictObject) */
 PyObject *f_locals;  /* local symbol table (any mapping) */
 PyObject **f_valuestack; /* points after the last local */
 /* Next free slot in f_valuestack. Frame creation sets to f_valuestack.
  Frame evaluation usually NULLs it, but a frame that yields sets it
  to the current stack top. */
 PyObject **f_stacktop;
 PyObject *f_trace;  /* Trace function */
 /* If an exception is raised in this frame, the next three are used to
  * record the exception info (if any) originally in the thread state. See
  * comments before set_exc_info() -- it's not obvious.
  * Invariant: if _type is NULL, then so are _value and _traceback.
  * Desired invariant: all three are NULL, or all three are non-NULL. That
  * one isn't currently true, but "should be".
  */
 PyObject *f_exc_type, *f_exc_value, *f_exc_traceback;
 
 PyThreadState *f_tstate;
 int f_lasti;  /* Last instruction if called */
 /* Call PyFrame_GetLineNumber() instead of reading this field
  directly. As of 2.3 f_lineno is only valid when tracing is
  active (i.e. when f_trace is set). At other times we use
  PyCode_Addr2Line to calculate the line from the current
  bytecode index. */
 int f_lineno;  /* Current line number */
 int f_iblock;  /* index in f_blockstack */
 PyTryBlock f_blockstack[CO_MAXBLOCKS]; /* for try and loop blocks */
 PyObject *f_localsplus[1]; /* locals+stack, dynamically sized */
} PyFrameObject;

栈帧保存了给出代码的的信息和上下文,其中包含最后执行的指令,全局和局部命名空间,异常状态等信息。f_valueblock保存了数据,b_blockstack保存了异常和循环控制方法。

举一个例子来说明,

def foo():
 x = 1
 def bar(y):
  z = y + 2 # 
def foo():
 x = 1
 def bar(y):
  z = y + 2 # 

那么,相应的调用栈如下,一个py文件,一个类,一个函数都是一个代码块,对应者一个Frame,保存着上下文环境以及字节码指令。

c ---------------------------
a | bar Frame     | -> block stack: []
l |  (newest)    | -> data stack: [1, 2]
l ---------------------------
 | foo Frame     | -> block stack: []
s |       | -> data stack: [.bar at 0x10d389680>, 1]
t ---------------------------
a | main (module) Frame  | -> block stack: []
c |  (oldest)   | -> data stack: []
k ---------------------------

c ---------------------------
a | bar Frame     | -> block stack: []
l |  (newest)    | -> data stack: [1, 2]
l ---------------------------
 | foo Frame     | -> block stack: []
s |       | -> data stack: [.bar at 0x10d389680>, 1]
t ---------------------------
a | main (module) Frame  | -> block stack: []
c |  (oldest)   | -> data stack: []
k ---------------------------

每一个栈帧都拥有自己的数据栈和block栈,独立的数据栈和block栈使得解释器可以中断和恢复栈帧(生成器正式利用这点)。

Python代码首先被编译为字节码,再由Python虚拟机来执行。一般来说,一条Python语句对应着多条字节码(由于每条字节码对应着一条C语句,而不是一个机器指令,所以不能按照字节码的数量来判断代码性能)。

调用dis模块可以分析字节码,

from dis import dis
dis(foo)
    0 LOAD_CONST    1 (1) # 加载常量1
    3 STORE_FAST    0 (x) # x赋值为1
   6 LOAD_CONST    2 (<code>) # 加载常量2
    9 MAKE_FUNCTION   0 # 创建函数
    12 STORE_FAST    1 (bar) 
   15 LOAD_FAST    1 (bar) 
    18 LOAD_FAST    0 (x)
    21 CALL_FUNCTION   1 # 调用函数
    24 RETURN_VALUE  </code>

from dis import dis
 dis(foo)
    0 LOAD_CONST    1 (1) # 加载常量1
    3 STORE_FAST    0 (x) # x赋值为1
   6 LOAD_CONST    2 (<code>) # 加载常量2
    9 MAKE_FUNCTION   0 # 创建函数
    12 STORE_FAST    1 (bar) 
   15 LOAD_FAST    1 (bar) 
    18 LOAD_FAST    0 (x)
    21 CALL_FUNCTION   1 # 调用函数
    24 RETURN_VALUE  </code>

其中,

第一行为代码行号;
第二行为偏移地址;
第三行为字节码指令;
第四行为指令参数;
第五行为参数解释。

生成器源码分析

由了上面对于调用栈的理解,就可以很容易的明白生成器的具体实现。

生成器的源码位于object/genobject.c。

生成器的创建

PyObject *
PyGen_New(PyFrameObject *f)
{
 PyGenObject *gen = PyObject_GC_New(PyGenObject, &PyGen_Type); # 创建生成器对象
 if (gen == NULL) {
  Py_DECREF(f);
  return NULL;
 }
 gen->gi_frame = f; # 赋予代码块
 Py_INCREF(f->f_code); # 引用计数+1
 gen->gi_code = (PyObject *)(f->f_code);
 gen->gi_running = 0; # 0表示为执行,也就是生成器的初始状态
 gen->gi_weakreflist = NULL;
 _PyObject_GC_TRACK(gen); # GC跟踪
 return (PyObject *)gen;
}

PyObject *
PyGen_New(PyFrameObject *f)
{
 PyGenObject *gen = PyObject_GC_New(PyGenObject, &PyGen_Type); # 创建生成器对象
 if (gen == NULL) {
  Py_DECREF(f);
  return NULL;
 }
 gen->gi_frame = f; # 赋予代码块
 Py_INCREF(f->f_code); # 引用计数+1
 gen->gi_code = (PyObject *)(f->f_code);
 gen->gi_running = 0; # 0表示为执行,也就是生成器的初始状态
 gen->gi_weakreflist = NULL;
 _PyObject_GC_TRACK(gen); # GC跟踪
 return (PyObject *)gen;
}

send与next

next与send函数,如下

static PyObject *
gen_iternext(PyGenObject *gen)
{
 return gen_send_ex(gen, NULL, 0);
}
static PyObject *
gen_send(PyGenObject *gen, PyObject *arg)
{
 return gen_send_ex(gen, arg, 0);
}

static PyObject *
gen_iternext(PyGenObject *gen)
{
 return gen_send_ex(gen, NULL, 0);
}
static PyObject *
gen_send(PyGenObject *gen, PyObject *arg)
{
 return gen_send_ex(gen, arg, 0);
}

从上面的代码中可以看到,send和next都是调用的同一函数gen_send_ex,区别在于是否带有参数。

static PyObject *
gen_send_ex(PyGenObject *gen, PyObject *arg, int exc)
{
 PyThreadState *tstate = PyThreadState_GET();
 PyFrameObject *f = gen->gi_frame;
 PyObject *result;
 if (gen->gi_running) { # 判断生成器是否已经运行
  PyErr_SetString(PyExc_ValueError,
      "generator already executing");
  return NULL;
 }
 if (f==NULL || f->f_stacktop == NULL) { # 如果代码块为空或调用栈为空,则抛出StopIteration异常
  /* Only set exception if called from send() */
  if (arg && !exc)
   PyErr_SetNone(PyExc_StopIteration);
  return NULL;
 }
 if (f->f_lasti == -1) { # f_lasti=1 代表首次执行
  if (arg && arg != Py_None) { # 首次执行不允许带有参数
   PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError,
       "can't send non-None value to a "
       "just-started generator");
   return NULL;
  }
 } else {
  /* Push arg onto the frame's value stack */
  result = arg "generator already executing");
  return NULL;
 }
 if (f==NULL || f->f_stacktop == NULL) { # 如果代码块为空或调用栈为空,则抛出StopIteration异常
  /* Only set exception if called from send() */
  if (arg && !exc)
   PyErr_SetNone(PyExc_StopIteration);
  return NULL;
 }
 if (f->f_lasti == -1) { # f_lasti=1 代表首次执行
  if (arg && arg != Py_None) { # 首次执行不允许带有参数
   PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError,
       "can't send non-None value to a "
       "just-started generator");
   return NULL;
  }
 } else {
  /* Push arg onto the frame's value stack */
  result = arg "htmlcode">
# 主要流程如下,
for (;;) {
 switch(opcode) { # opcode为操作码,对应着各种操作
  case NOP:
   goto fast_next_opcode;
  ...
  ...
  case YIELD_VALUE: # 如果操作码是yield
   retval = POP(); 
   f->f_stacktop = stack_pointer;
   why = WHY_YIELD;
   goto fast_yield; # 利用goto跳出循环
 }
}
fast_yield:
 ... 
return vetval; # 返回结果
# 主要流程如下,
for (;;) {
 switch(opcode) { # opcode为操作码,对应着各种操作
  case NOP:
   goto fast_next_opcode;
  ...
  ...
  case YIELD_VALUE: # 如果操作码是yield
   retval = POP(); 
   f->f_stacktop = stack_pointer;
   why = WHY_YIELD;
   goto fast_yield; # 利用goto跳出循环
 }
}
fast_yield:
 ... 
return vetval; # 返回结果

举一个例子,f_back上一个Frame,f_lasti上一次执行的指令的偏移量,

import sys
from dis import dis
def func():
 f = sys._getframe(0)
 print f.f_lasti
 print f.f_back
 yield 1
 print f.f_lasti
 print f.f_back
 yield 2
a = func()
dis(func)
a.next()
a.next()
import sys
from dis import dis
def func():
 f = sys._getframe(0)
 print f.f_lasti
 print f.f_back
 yield 1
 print f.f_lasti
 print f.f_back
 yield 2
a = func()
dis(func)
a.next()
a.next()

结果如下,其中第三行的英文为操作码,对应着上面的opcode,每次switch都是在不同的opcode之间进行选择。
