1.golang的interface设计
golang的interface设计，从是否有方法的角度，分为iface和eface。然后所有的interface内又包含type和value，其中type包含都是结构体rtype，且都继承自接口Type。
不同的是，对与纯值interface，eface来说，type就是rtype类型，对于有方法的interface，iface来说，type是用itab来表示。
itab是运行时虚表，目的是支持golang的接口自动继承特性，其中的interfacetype为包含imethod的虚表，类型断言时比较的就是itab。
2.golang的interface底层实现(1.10.3)。
先看接口的底层实现，，在runtime中还有一份实现，暂时还不明白空接口和接口之间如何完成转换。
type iface struct {
tab *itab
data unsafe.Pointer
}
type eface struct {
_type *_type
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.dumptypestructs.
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 interfacetype struct {
typ _type
pkgpath name
mhdr []imethod
}
// 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.
type _type struct {
size uintptr
ptrdata uintptr // size of memory prefix holding all pointers
hash uint32
tflag tflag
align uint8
fieldalign uint8
kind uint8
alg *typeAlg
// 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
}
代码在reflect包中也有一份抽象的实现。核心有 emptyInterface、 nonEmptyInterface、 rtype这个类。
// emptyInterface is the header for an interface{} value.
type emptyInterface struct {
typ *rtype
word unsafe.Pointer
}
// nonEmptyInterface is the header for an interface value with methods.
type nonEmptyInterface struct {
// see ../runtime/iface.go:/Itab
itab *struct {
ityp *rtype // static interface type
typ *rtype // dynamic concrete type
hash uint32 // copy of typ.hash
_ [4]byte
fun [100000]unsafe.Pointer // method table
}
word unsafe.Pointer
}
// rtype is the common implementation of most values.
// It is embedded in other, public struct types, but always
// with a unique tag like `reflect:"array"` or `reflect:"ptr"`
// so that code cannot convert from, say, *arrayType to *ptrType.
//
// rtype must be kept in sync with ../runtime/type.go:/^type._type.
type rtype struct {
size uintptr
ptrdata uintptr // number of bytes in the type that can contain pointers
hash uint32 // hash of type; avoids computation in hash tables
tflag tflag // extra type information flags
align uint8 // alignment of variable with this type
fieldAlign uint8 // alignment of struct field with this type
kind uint8 // enumeration for C
alg *typeAlg // algorithm table
gcdata *byte // garbage collection data
str nameOff // string form
ptrToThis typeOff // type for pointer to this type, may be zero
}
