在这一篇文章中我先来介绍一下lua解析一个脚本文件时要用到的一些关键的数据结构,为将来的一系列代码分析打下一个良好的基础。在整个过程中,比较重要的几个源码文件分别是:llex.h,lparse.h、lobject.h和lopcode.h。
在llex.h中
1 typedef struct Token {
2 int token;
3 SemInfo seminfo;
4 } Token;
Token代表了一个词法单元,其中token表示词法类型如TK_NAME、TK_NUMBER等如果不是这些类型则存放则词素的字符表示,例如分析的代码会这么判断词素单元:
1 switch (ls->t.token) {
2 case '(': {
3 //...
4 }
5 case TK_NAME: {
6 //...
7 }
8 default: {
9 //...
10 }
在Token中SemInfo存放了一些语义相关的一些内容信息
1 typedef union {
2 lua_Number r;
3 TString *ts;
4 } SemInfo; /* semantics information */
其中当token是数字是内容存放在r中,其他情况存放在ts指向的TString中。
下面是最重要的一个数据结构之一
1 typedef struct LexState {
2 int current; /* current character (charint) */
3 int linenumber; /* input line counter */
4 int lastline; /* line of last token `consumed' */
5 Token t; /* current token */
6 Token lookahead; /* look ahead token */
7 struct FuncState *fs; /* `FuncState' is private to the parser */
8 struct lua_State *L;
9 ZIO *z; /* input stream */
10 Mbuffer *buff; /* buffer for tokens */
11 TString *source; /* current source name */
12 char decpoint; /* locale decimal point */
13 } LexState;
LexState不仅用于保存当前的词法分析状态信息,而且也保存了整个编译系统的全局状态。current指向了当前字符,t存放了当前的toekn,lookahead存放了向前看的token,由此我认为lua应该是ll(1)的~哈哈(不知道对不对)。fs指向了parser当前解析的函数的一些相关的信息,L指向了当前lua_State结构,z指向输入流,buff指向了token buffer,其他的看注释吧。
下面看看lparse.h文件中的重要结构:
1 typedef struct expdesc {
2 expkind k;
3 union {
4 struct { int info, aux; } s;
5 lua_Number nval;
6 } u;
7 int t; /* patch list of `exit when true' */
8 int f; /* patch list of `exit when false' */
9 } expdesc;
expdesc是存放了表达式的相关描述信息,k是表达式的种类,u在不同的表达式中有不同的含义。
1 typedef struct upvaldesc {
2 lu_byte k;
3 lu_byte info;
4 } upvaldesc;
upvaldesc是存放了upval的相关描述信息。
最后是本文件中最重要的结构:
1 typedef struct FuncState {
2 Proto *f; /* current function header */
3 Table *h; /* table to find (and reuse) elements in `k' */
4 struct FuncState *prev; /* enclosing function */
5 struct LexState *ls; /* lexical state */
6 struct lua_State *L; /* copy of the Lua state */
7 struct BlockCnt *bl; /* chain of current blocks */
8 int pc; /* next position to code (equivalent to `ncode') */
9 int lasttarget; /* `pc' of last `jump target' */
10 int jpc; /* list of pending jumps to `pc' */
11 int freereg; /* first free register */
12 int nk; /* number of elements in `k' */
13 int np; /* number of elements in `p' */
14 short nlocvars; /* number of elements in `locvars' */
15 lu_byte nactvar; /* number of active local variables */
16 upvaldesc upvalues[LUAI_MAXUPVALUES]; /* upvalues */
17 unsigned short actvar[LUAI_MAXVARS]; /* declared-variable stack */
18 } FuncState;
在编译过程中,使用FuncState结构体来保存一个函数编译的状态数据。其中,f指向了本函数的协议描述结构体,prev指向了其父函数的FuncState描述,因为在lua中可以在一个函数中定义另一个函数,因此当parse到一个函数的内部函数的定义时会new一个FuncState来描述内部函数,同时开始parse这个内部函数,将这个FuncState的prev指向其外部函数的FuncState,prev变量用来引用外围函数的FuncState,使当前所有没有分析完成的FuncState形成一个栈结构。bl指向当前parse的block,在一个函数中会有很多block代码,lua会将这些同属于同一个函数的block用链表串联起来。jpc是一个OP_JMP指令的链表,因为lua是一遍过的parse,在开始的时候有一些跳转指令不能决定其跳转位置,因此jpc将这些pending jmp指令串联起来,在以后能确定的时候回填,freereg为第一个空闲寄存器的下标,upvalues数组保存了当前函数的所有upvalue,nactvar是当前作用域的局部变量数。
在lparse.c中定义了BlockCnt
1 /*
2 ** nodes for block list (list of active blocks)
3 */
4 typedef struct BlockCnt {
5 struct BlockCnt *previous; /* chain */
6 int breaklist; /* list of jumps out of this loop */
7 lu_byte nactvar; /* # active locals outside the breakable structure */
8 lu_byte upval; /* true if some variable in the block is an upvalue */
9 lu_byte isbreakable; /* true if `block' is a loop */
10 } BlockCnt;
Lua使用BlockCnt来保存一个block的数据。与FuncState的分析方法类似,BlockCnt使用一个previous变量保存外围block的引用,形成一个栈结构。
下面介绍一些在lobject.h文件里面的数据结构
1 /*
2 ** Function Prototypes
3 */
4 typedef struct Proto {
5 CommonHeader;
6 TValue *k; /* constants used by the function */
7 Instruction *code;
8 struct Proto **p; /* functions defined inside the function */
9 int *lineinfo; /* map from opcodes to source lines */
10 struct LocVar *locvars; /* information about local variables */
11 TString **upvalues; /* upvalue names */
12 TString *source;
13 int sizeupvalues;
14 int sizek; /* size of `k' */
15 int sizecode;
16 int sizelineinfo;
17 int sizep; /* size of `p' */
18 int sizelocvars;
19 int linedefined;
20 int lastlinedefined;
21 GCObject *gclist;
22 lu_byte nups; /* number of upvalues */
23 lu_byte numparams;
24 lu_byte is_vararg;
25 lu_byte maxstacksize;
26 } Proto;
结构体Proto是lua函数协议的描述,在lua解析脚本时首先会将main chunk代码包裹为一个函数,用main proto描述,接着将里面定义的内部函数一一用Proto结构体描述,将这些Proto的关系用树来组合起来,例如有lua源码文件如下
1 a = 1
2 function f1()
3 -- ...
4 end
5 function f2()
6 function f3()
7 -- ...
8 end
9 end
则parse完成后会有如图如下关系
在Proto结构体中,k指向一个const变量数组,存放则函数要用到的常量;code指向lua parse过程中生成的本函数的instruction集合;p就是指向本函数内部定义的函数的那些proto;locvars指向本函数局部变量数组;upvalues指向本函数upvalue变量数组;nups为upvalue的数量;numparams为函数参数的数量;is_vararg表示函数是否接收可变参数;maxstacksize为函数stack的max大小。
在编译期间lua使用Proto描述函数的,当lua vm开始运行vm时需要根据Proto生成相应的Closure来执行vm instructions。
1 typedef union Closure {
2 CClosure c;
3 LClosure l;
4 } Closure;
Closure要么代表了c函数,要么为lua函数,在这里我们只看lua函数的LClosure
1 #define ClosureHeader \
2 CommonHeader; lu_byte isC; lu_byte nupvalues; GCObject *gclist; \
3 struct Table *env
4 //... ...
5 typedef struct LClosure {
6 ClosureHeader;
7 struct Proto *p;
8 UpVal *upvals[1];
9 } LClosure;
在LClousre中,p就是指向对应函数的Proto结构体啦,upvals顾名思义就是此closure的upvalue数组罗。在ClosureHeader宏中isC表示此closure是否是c函数,nupvalues为upvalue数目,env指向了此closue运行时的函数环境,在lua中可以用stefenv来改变当前函数的环境,就是改变env变量的指向啦。
最后,在文件lopcode.h中定义了lua vm的指令结构
下面是vm指令的一些定义与描述,我在相应vm指令的上方添加了一些注释
