【redis源码】（五）Ziplist

和zipmap作为dict数据结构的备选一样，ziplist同样追求牺牲性能的情况下节省内存，毕竟redis被看做是一个in-memory的nosql工具。

 

zipmap的源码中，印象最深的两个细节是：

1. 作者为了节省内存，如果存入的value是一个能转化成int的数字串，存储的时候，ziplist会将其转换成int类型存储

2. 同样为了节省内存，在存储长度的字段都是用1or5的存储方式，当被存储字段长度小于254的时候，使用一个字节，大于等于254的时候再使用额外四个字节去存储长度【吐槽一下，代码中最麻烦的那30%的代码都和这个细节有关~~~~~~如果直接用4个字节不好吗，亲？】

 

添加了简单注释的代码如下

Ziplist.h

#define ZIPLIST_HEAD 0
#define ZIPLIST_TAIL 1

Ziplist.c

/* The ziplist is a specially encoded dually linked list that is designed
 * to be very memory efficient. It stores both strings and integer values,
 * where integers are encoded as actual integers instead of a series of
 * characters. It allows push and pop operations on either side of the list
 * in O(1) time. However, because every operation requires a reallocation of
 * the memory used by the ziplist, the actual complexity is related to the
 * amount of memory used by the ziplist.
 *
 * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * ZIPLIST OVERALL LAYOUT:
 * The general layout of the ziplist is as follows:
 * <zlbytes><zltail><zllen><entry><entry><zlend>
 *
 * <zlbytes> is an unsigned integer to hold the number of bytes that the
 * ziplist occupies. This value needs to be stored to be able to resize the
 * entire structure without the need to traverse it first.
 *
 * <zltail> is the offset to the last entry in the list. This allows a pop
 * operation on the far side of the list without the need for full traversal.
 *
 * <zllen> is the number of entries.When this value is larger than 2**16-2,
 * we need to traverse the entire list to know how many items it holds.
 *
 * <zlend> is a single byte special value, equal to 255, which indicates the
 * end of the list.
 *
 * ZIPLIST ENTRIES:
 * Every entry in the ziplist is prefixed by a header that contains two pieces
 * of information. First, the length of the previous entry is stored to be
 * able to traverse the list from back to front. Second, the encoding with an
 * optional string length of the entry itself is stored.
 *
 * The length of the previous entry is encoded in the following way:
 * If this length is smaller than 254 bytes, it will only consume a single
 * byte that takes the length as value. When the length is greater than or
 * equal to 254, it will consume 5 bytes. The first byte is set to 254 to
 * indicate a larger value is following. The remaining 4 bytes take the
 * length of the previous entry as value.
 *
 * The other header field of the entry itself depends on the contents of the
 * entry. When the entry is a string, the first 2 bits of this header will hold
 * the type of encoding used to store the length of the string, followed by the
 * actual length of the string. When the entry is an integer the first 2 bits
 * are both set to 1. The following 2 bits are used to specify what kind of
 * integer will be stored after this header. An overview of the different
 * types and encodings is as follows:
 *
 * |00pppppp| - 1 byte
 *      String value with length less than or equal to 63 bytes (6 bits).
 * |01pppppp|qqqqqqqq| - 2 bytes
 *      String value with length less than or equal to 16383 bytes (14 bits).
 * |10______|qqqqqqqq|rrrrrrrr|ssssssss|tttttttt| - 5 bytes
 *      String value with length greater than or equal to 16384 bytes.
 * |1100____| - 1 byte
 *      Integer encoded as int16_t (2 bytes).
 * |1101____| - 1 byte
 *      Integer encoded as int32_t (4 bytes).
 * |1110____| - 1 byte
 *      Integer encoded as int64_t (8 bytes).
