手写一个异步日志库：从printf到高性能无锁日志

前言

printf 是最方便的调试工具，但在高并发生产环境中直接使用它会带来严重问题：

· 阻塞：写磁盘是慢速操作（毫秒级），会阻塞业务线程

· 性能差：每次调用都触发系统调用

· 日志混乱：多线程同时打印，输出交错在一起

异步日志将日志格式化和写入分离：业务线程只负责格式化日志放入缓冲区，专门的日志线程负责写入磁盘。

今天我们用C语言从零实现：

· 阻塞队列 + 异步线程

· 双缓冲区（无锁设计）

· 日志级别、滚动文件

· 完整可直接使用的代码

一、异步日志的核心原理

同步日志 vs 异步日志

```

同步日志：异步日志：

业务线程业务线程日志线程

│ │ │

├─ 格式化日志 ├─ 格式化日志 │

├─ 写磁盘(慢) ←阻塞 ├─ 入队列(快) │

└─ 继续 └─ 继续 │

│

├─ 取出日志

├─ 写磁盘

└─ 循环

```

双缓冲区的奥秘

为了解决"队列锁竞争"问题，可以用双缓冲区：

```

当前缓冲区(写) ← 业务线程写入

│

│ 满了就交换

▼

备用缓冲区(刷) ← 日志线程写入磁盘

```

这样业务线程几乎无锁（只需一个原子交换指针）。

二、完整代码实现

基础结构

```c

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <time.h>

#include <stdarg.h>

#include <pthread.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

#include <sys/time.h>

#include <signal.h>

// 日志级别

typedef enum {

LOG_LEVEL_TRACE = 0,

LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG,

LOG_LEVEL_INFO,

LOG_LEVEL_WARN,

LOG_LEVEL_ERROR,

LOG_LEVEL_FATAL,

LOG_LEVEL_NONE

} log_level_t;

// 日志配置

typedef struct {

log_level_t min_level; // 最小日志级别

int max_file_size; // 最大文件大小(MB)

int max_file_count; // 保留文件数量

int flush_interval_sec; // 刷盘间隔

int buffer_size; // 缓冲区大小(KB)

char log_dir $256$ ; // 日志目录

char log_name $256$ ; // 日志文件名前缀

} log_config_t;

// 异步日志器

typedef struct async_logger {

char **current_buffer; // 当前写入缓冲区

char **next_buffer; // 备用缓冲区

int buffer_capacity; // 缓冲区容量

int current_len; // 当前缓冲区已用长度

int next_len; // 备用缓冲区已用长度

pthread_mutex_t buffer_mutex;

pthread_cond_t buffer_cond;

pthread_t log_thread;

volatile int is_running;

FILE *log_file;

log_config_t config;

} async_logger_t;

```

初始化

```c

async_logger_t *logger_create(log_config_t *config) {

async_logger_t *logger = calloc(1, sizeof(async_logger_t));

if (!logger) return NULL;

memcpy(&logger->config, config, sizeof(log_config_t));

// 分配双缓冲区

int buf_size = config->buffer_size * 1024;

logger->buffer_capacity = buf_size;

logger->current_buffer = malloc(buf_size);

logger->next_buffer = malloc(buf_size);

if (!logger->current_buffer || !logger->next_buffer) {

free(logger->current_buffer);

free(logger->next_buffer);

free(logger);

return NULL;

}

logger->current_len = 0;

logger->next_len = 0;

pthread_mutex_init(&logger->buffer_mutex, NULL);

pthread_cond_init(&logger->buffer_cond, NULL);

// 打开日志文件

char filepath $512$ ;

time_t now = time(NULL);

struct tm *tm_info = localtime(&now);

strftime(filepath, sizeof(filepath), "/%Y%m%d.log", tm_info);

char fullpath $512$ ;

snprintf(fullpath, sizeof(fullpath), "%s/%s%s",

config->log_dir, config->log_name, filepath);

logger->log_file = fopen(fullpath, "a");

if (!logger->log_file) {

// 创建目录

char cmd $512$ ;

snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd), "mkdir -p %s", config->log_dir);

system(cmd);

logger->log_file = fopen(fullpath, "a");

}

logger->is_running = 1;

// 创建日志线程

pthread_create(&logger->log_thread, NULL, log_thread_func, logger);

printf("异步日志器已启动, 缓冲区大小: %d KB\n", config->buffer_size);

return logger;

}

void logger_destroy(async_logger_t *logger) {

if (!logger) return;

// 等待缓冲区数据写完

logger->is_running = 0;

pthread_cond_signal(&logger->buffer_cond);

pthread_join(logger->log_thread, NULL);

// 刷盘

fflush(logger->log_file);

fclose(logger->log_file);

free(logger->current_buffer);

free(logger->next_buffer);

pthread_mutex_destroy(&logger->buffer_mutex);

pthread_cond_destroy(&logger->buffer_cond);

free(logger);

}

```

日志线程（后台写入）

```c

// 交换缓冲区

static void swap_buffer(async_logger_t *logger) {

char *tmp = logger->current_buffer;

logger->current_buffer = logger->next_buffer;

logger->next_buffer = tmp;

int tmp_len = logger->current_len;

logger->current_len = logger->next_len;

logger->next_len = tmp_len;

}

// 写入磁盘

static void flush_to_file(async_logger_t *logger) {

if (logger->current_len > 0) {

fwrite(logger->current_buffer, 1, logger->current_len, logger->log_file);

fflush(logger->log_file);

logger->current_len = 0;

}

// 日志线程主函数

void *log_thread_func(void *arg) {

async_logger_t *logger = (async_logger_t *)arg;

while (logger->is_running) {

pthread_mutex_lock(&logger->buffer_mutex);

// 等待有数据或超时

struct timespec ts;

clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &ts);

ts.tv_sec += logger->config.flush_interval_sec;

while (logger->current_len == 0 && logger->next_len == 0 && logger->is_running) {

pthread_cond_timedwait(&logger->buffer_cond, &logger->buffer_mutex, &ts);

// 超时也刷新一次

break;

}

// 交换缓冲区

swap_buffer(logger);

pthread_mutex_unlock(&logger->buffer_mutex);

// 写入磁盘

flush_to_file(logger);

// 检查文件是否过大，需要滚动

check_and_roll_file(logger);

}

// 最后一次刷盘

flush_to_file(logger);

return NULL;

}

```

日志写入接口

```c

// 获取当前时间字符串

static void get_time_str(char *buf, int len) {

struct timeval tv;

gettimeofday(&tv, NULL);

struct tm *tm_info = localtime(&tv.tv_sec);

strftime(buf, len, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", tm_info);

int ms = tv.tv_usec / 1000;

char ms_buf $10$ ;

snprintf(ms_buf, sizeof(ms_buf), ".%03d", ms);

strcat(buf, ms_buf);

}

// 获取日志级别字符串

static const char *level_str(log_level_t level) {

switch (level) {

case LOG_LEVEL_TRACE: return "TRACE";

case LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG: return "DEBUG";

case LOG_LEVEL_INFO: return "INFO";

case LOG_LEVEL_WARN: return "WARN";

case LOG_LEVEL_ERROR: return "ERROR";

case LOG_LEVEL_FATAL: return "FATAL";

default: return "UNKNOWN";

}

// 核心写日志函数

void logger_log(async_logger_t *logger, log_level_t level,

const char *file, int line, const char *func,

const char *fmt, ...) {

if (!logger || level < logger->config.min_level) return;

// 格式化时间

char time_buf $32$ ;

get_time_str(time_buf, sizeof(time_buf));

// 获取线程ID

pthread_t tid = pthread_self();

// 计算消息长度

char prefix $256$ ;

snprintf(prefix, sizeof(prefix), " $%s$ $%s$ $%s:%d$ $%s$ ",

time_buf, level_str(level), file, line, func);

// 格式化用户消息

char msg $4096$ ;

va_list args;

va_start(args, fmt);

int msg_len = vsnprintf(msg, sizeof(msg), fmt, args);

va_end(args);

if (msg_len < 0) msg_len = 0;

if (msg_len >= sizeof(msg)) msg_len = sizeof(msg) - 1;

// 计算总长度

int prefix_len = strlen(prefix);

int total_len = prefix_len + msg_len + 1; // +1 for '\n'

pthread_mutex_lock(&logger->buffer_mutex);

// 检查当前缓冲区是否够用

if (logger->current_len + total_len + 1 > logger->buffer_capacity) {

// 切换缓冲区

char *tmp = logger->current_buffer;

logger->current_buffer = logger->next_buffer;

logger->next_buffer = tmp;

logger->current_len = logger->next_len;

logger->next_len = 0;

// 唤醒日志线程

pthread_cond_signal(&logger->buffer_cond);

}

// 写入缓冲区

if (logger->current_len + total_len + 1 <= logger->buffer_capacity) {

memcpy(logger->current_buffer + logger->current_len, prefix, prefix_len);

logger->current_len += prefix_len;

memcpy(logger->current_buffer + logger->current_len, msg, msg_len);

logger->current_len += msg_len;

logger->current_buffer $logger-\>current_len++$ = '\n';

logger->current_buffer $logger-\>current_len$ = '\0';

} else {

// 缓冲区仍不够（单条消息过大），直接写文件（同步）

fprintf(logger->log_file, "%s%s\n", prefix, msg);

fflush(logger->log_file);

}

pthread_mutex_unlock(&logger->buffer_mutex);

// 致命日志立即刷盘

if (level == LOG_LEVEL_FATAL) {

pthread_cond_signal(&logger->buffer_cond);

usleep(10000); // 等待写入

}

// 宏简化调用

#define LOG_TRACE(logger, fmt, ...) \

logger_log(logger, LOG_LEVEL_TRACE, FILE, LINE, FUNCTION, fmt, ##VA_ARGS)

#define LOG_DEBUG(logger, fmt, ...) \

logger_log(logger, LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG, FILE, LINE, FUNCTION, fmt, ##VA_ARGS)

#define LOG_INFO(logger, fmt, ...) \

logger_log(logger, LOG_LEVEL_INFO, FILE, LINE, FUNCTION, fmt, ##VA_ARGS)

#define LOG_WARN(logger, fmt, ...) \

#define LOG_FATAL(logger, fmt, ...) \

logger_log(logger, LOG_LEVEL_FATAL, FILE, LINE, FUNCTION, fmt, ##VA_ARGS)

```

文件滚动

```c

void check_and_roll_file(async_logger_t *logger) {

if (logger->config.max_file_size <= 0) return;

long file_pos = ftell(logger->log_file);

if (file_pos >= logger->config.max_file_size * 1024 * 1024) {

// 关闭当前文件

fclose(logger->log_file);

// 重命名

char old_path $512$ , new_path $512$ ;

time_t now = time(NULL);

struct tm *tm_info = localtime(&now);

char time_str $32$ ;

strftime(time_str, sizeof(time_str), "%Y%m%d_%H%M%S", tm_info);

snprintf(old_path, sizeof(old_path), "%s/%s",

logger->config.log_dir, logger->config.log_name);

snprintf(new_path, sizeof(new_path), "%s.%s.log", old_path, time_str);

rename(old_path, new_path);

// 重新打开新文件

logger->log_file = fopen(old_path, "a");

// 清理旧文件（保留最近N个）

if (logger->config.max_file_count > 0) {

char cmd $512$ ;

snprintf(cmd, sizeof(cmd),

"cd %s && ls -t %s.* | tail -n +%d | xargs rm -f 2>/dev/null",

logger->config.log_dir, logger->config.log_name,

logger->config.max_file_count);

system(cmd);

}

```

测试示例

```c

#include <unistd.h>

void test_multi_thread(void) {

log_config_t config = {

.min_level = LOG_LEVEL_TRACE,

.max_file_size = 10, // 10MB

.max_file_count = 5,

.flush_interval_sec = 3,

.buffer_size = 64, // 64KB

.log_dir = "./logs",

.log_name = "app"

};

async_logger_t *logger = logger_create(&config);

#define THREAD_COUNT 10

pthread_t threads $THREAD_COUNT$ ;

void *thread_func(void *arg) {

async_logger_t *log = (async_logger_t *)arg;

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {

LOG_INFO(log, "Thread %lu, iter %d, message: %s",

pthread_self(), i, "Hello async log!");

usleep(1000);

}

return NULL;

}

for (int i = 0; i < THREAD_COUNT; i++) {

pthread_create(&threads $i$ , NULL, thread_func, logger);

}

for (int i = 0; i < THREAD_COUNT; i++) {

pthread_join(threads $i$ , NULL);

}

logger_destroy(logger);

}

```
