eface and iface

src/runtime/runtime2.go

eface (empty interface)

• empty interface 不包含方法的 interface 结构
• data 是 nil，只要_type 不是 nil 这个 interface{} 就不是 nil

type eface struct {
	_type *_type
	data  unsafe.Pointer
}

// Needs to be in sync with ../cmd/link/internal/ld/decodesym.go:/^func.commonsize,
// ../cmd/compile/internal/gc/reflect.go:/^func.dcommontype and
// ../reflect/type.go:/^type.rtype.
// ../internal/reflectlite/type.go:/^type.rtype.
type _type struct {
	size       uintptr
	ptrdata    uintptr // size of memory prefix holding all pointers
	hash       uint32
	tflag      tflag
	align      uint8
	fieldAlign uint8
	kind       uint8
	// function for comparing objects of this type
	// (ptr to object A, ptr to object B) -> ==?
	equal func(unsafe.Pointer, unsafe.Pointer) bool
	// gcdata stores the GC type data for the garbage collector.
	// If the KindGCProg bit is set in kind, gcdata is a GC program.
	// Otherwise it is a ptrmask bitmap. See mbitmap.go for details.
	gcdata    *byte
	str       nameOff
	ptrToThis typeOff
}

iface (non-empty interface)

• 方法的具体实现存放在 itag.fun 变量中
• 如果 interface 包含多个方法
  • iface 里有个 hash table runtime/iface.go
• inter *interfacetype 包含 interface 本身的信息，比如 package path、method。

type iface struct {
	tab  *itab
	data unsafe.Pointer
}

// layout of Itab known to compilers
// allocated in non-garbage-collected memory
// Needs to be in sync with
// ../cmd/compile/internal/gc/reflect.go:/^func.dumptabs.
type itab struct {
	inter *interfacetype
	_type *_type
	hash  uint32 // copy of _type.hash. Used for type switches.
	_     [4]byte
	fun   [1]uintptr // variable sized. fun[0]==0 means _type does not implement inter.
}

type imethod struct {
	name nameOff
	ityp typeOff
}

type interfacetype struct {
	typ     _type
	pkgpath name
	mhdr    []imethod
}
