前言
你有没有想过：双11下单系统是怎么扛住每秒几十万笔订单的？如果数据库瞬间写不进去，订单会丢吗？
消息队列是解耦、削峰、异步的核心中间件。
今天我们用C语言从零实现一个消息队列：
· 生产者-消费者模型
· 内存队列 + 磁盘持久化
· 多消费者组（广播/集群）
· ACK确认机制
· 延迟消息
· 完整的客户端SDK
一、消息队列核心原理
- 消息队列架构
```
┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌─────────┐
│生产者1 │────→│ │────→│消费者1 │
└─────────┘ │ │ └─────────┘
┌─────────┐ │ 消息队列 │ ┌─────────┐
│生产者2 │────→│ (Broker)│────→│消费者2 │
└─────────┘ │ │ └─────────┘
┌─────────┐ │ │ ┌─────────┐
│生产者3 │────→│ │────→│消费者3 │
└─────────┘ └─────────┘ └─────────┘
```
- 核心概念
概念 说明
Topic 消息主题（队列）
Producer 消息生产者
Consumer 消息消费者
Consumer Group 消费者组（组内竞争消费）
Offset 消息偏移量
ACK 确认消息已处理
二、完整代码实现
- 基础数据结构
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#define MAX_TOPICS 100
#define MAX_CONSUMERS 1000
#define MAX_MSG_SIZE 65536
#define MAX_MSG_BATCH 1000
// 消息结构
typedef struct message {
long long id; // 消息ID（自增）
char topic64; // 主题
char *body; // 消息体
int body_len; // 长度
long long timestamp; // 时间戳
long long deliver_time; // 投递时间（延迟消息）
int retry_count; // 重试次数
struct message *next;
} message_t;
// 队列节点（内存）
typedef struct queue_node {
message_t *msg;
struct queue_node *next;
} queue_node_t;
// 消息队列（内存）
typedef struct {
queue_node_t *head;
queue_node_t *tail;
int count;
int capacity;
pthread_mutex_t mutex;
pthread_cond_t not_empty;
pthread_cond_t not_full;
} memory_queue_t;
// 消费者偏移量
typedef struct consumer_offset {
char consumer_id64;
long long offset;
struct consumer_offset *next;
} consumer_offset_t;
// 主题结构
typedef struct topic {
char name64;
memory_queue_t *queue;
consumer_offset_t *offsets; // 消费者偏移记录
int persist; // 是否持久化
int fd; // 持久化文件描述符
pthread_mutex_t offset_mutex;
struct topic *next;
} topic_t;
```
- 内存队列实现
```c
memory_queue_t *mq_create(int capacity) {
memory_queue_t *mq = malloc(sizeof(memory_queue_t));
mq->head = NULL;
mq->tail = NULL;
mq->count = 0;
mq->capacity = capacity;
pthread_mutex_init(&mq->mutex, NULL);
pthread_cond_init(&mq->not_empty, NULL);
pthread_cond_init(&mq->not_full, NULL);
return mq;
}
void mq_destroy(memory_queue_t *mq) {
if (!mq) return;
queue_node_t *node = mq->head;
while (node) {
queue_node_t *next = node->next;
free(node->msg->body);
free(node->msg);
free(node);
node = next;
}
pthread_mutex_destroy(&mq->mutex);
pthread_cond_destroy(&mq->not_empty);
pthread_cond_destroy(&mq->not_full);
free(mq);
}
// 入队
int mq_push(memory_queue_t *mq, message_t *msg, int wait_ms) {
struct timespec ts;
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &ts);
ts.tv_sec += wait_ms / 1000;
ts.tv_nsec += (wait_ms % 1000) * 1000000;
pthread_mutex_lock(&mq->mutex);
while (mq->count >= mq->capacity) {
if (wait_ms == 0) {
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mq->mutex);
return -1; // 队列满
}
if (pthread_cond_timedwait(&mq->not_full, &mq->mutex, &ts) != 0) {
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mq->mutex);
return -1; // 超时
}
}
queue_node_t *node = malloc(sizeof(queue_node_t));
node->msg = msg;
node->next = NULL;
if (mq->tail) {
mq->tail->next = node;
mq->tail = node;
} else {
mq->head = node;
mq->tail = node;
}
mq->count++;
pthread_cond_signal(&mq->not_empty);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mq->mutex);
return 0;
}
// 出队
message_t *mq_pop(memory_queue_t *mq, int wait_ms) {
struct timespec ts;
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &ts);
ts.tv_sec += wait_ms / 1000;
ts.tv_nsec += (wait_ms % 1000) * 1000000;
pthread_mutex_lock(&mq->mutex);
while (mq->count == 0) {
if (wait_ms == 0) {
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mq->mutex);
return NULL;
}
if (pthread_cond_timedwait(&mq->not_empty, &mq->mutex, &ts) != 0) {
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mq->mutex);
return NULL;
}
}
queue_node_t *node = mq->head;
mq->head = node->next;
if (!mq->head) mq->tail = NULL;
mq->count--;
pthread_cond_signal(&mq->not_full);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mq->mutex);
message_t *msg = node->msg;
free(node);
return msg;
}
// 查看队首（不删除）
message_t *mq_peek(memory_queue_t *mq) {
pthread_mutex_lock(&mq->mutex);
message_t *msg = mq->head ? mq->head->msg : NULL;
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mq->mutex);
return msg;
}
```
- 持久化实现
```c
// 持久化文件路径
char *get_persist_path(const char *topic) {
static char path256;
snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "./data/%s.log", topic);
return path;
}

mkdir("./data", 0755);
}
// 持久化消息
void persist_message(topic_t *topic, message_t *msg) {
if (!topic->persist) return;
if (topic->fd <= 0) {
char *path = get_persist_path(topic->name);
topic->fd = open(path, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_APPEND, 0644);
}
if (topic->fd > 0) {
// 格式: ID|timestamp|deliver_time|body_len|body\n
char header256;
int len = snprintf(header, sizeof(header),
"%lld|%lld|%lld|%d|",
msg->id, msg->timestamp, msg->deliver_time, msg->body_len);
write(topic->fd, header, len);
write(topic->fd, msg->body, msg->body_len);
write(topic->fd, "\n", 1);
}
}
// 恢复持久化消息
void recover_persist_messages(topic_t *topic) {

FILE *fp = fopen(path, "r");
if (!fp) return;

memcpy(msg->body, body_start, msg->body_len);
msg->bodymsg-\>body_len = '\0';
msg->retry_count = 0;
strcpy(msg->topic, topic->name);
// 恢复延迟消息或直接入队
if (deliver_time > time(NULL)) {
// 存到延迟队列（简化：直接入队，实际需要延迟队列）
mq_push(topic->queue, msg, 0);
} else {
mq_push(topic->queue, msg, 0);
}
}
}
fclose(fp);
}
```
- 消息队列 Broker
```c
typedef struct broker {

long long msg_id_counter;
pthread_mutex_t global_mutex;
} broker_t;
broker_t *g_broker = NULL;

}
// 持久化

}
mq_push(t->queue, msg, 0);

return 0;
}
// 更新消费者偏移量

return;
}

return offset;
}

}
pthread_mutex_unlock(&t->offset_mutex);
return 0;
}
```
- 消费者客户端
```c
typedef struct consumer {
char id64;
char topic64;
char group64;
int auto_ack;
int running;
long long offset;
pthread_t thread;
void (*callback)(message_t *msg);
} consumer_t;
consumer_t *consumer_create(const char *topic, const char *group,
void (*callback)(message_t *msg)) {
consumer_t *c = malloc(sizeof(consumer_t));
snprintf(c->id, sizeof(c->id), "%s-%s-%d", topic, group, rand());
strcpy(c->topic, topic);
strcpy(c->group, group);
c->auto_ack = 1;
c->running = 1;
c->offset = 0;
c->callback = callback;
// 恢复上次偏移量
topic_t *t = broker_get_topic(g_broker, topic, 0);
if (t) {
c->offset = get_offset(t, c->id);
}
return c;
}
// 确认消息
void consumer_ack(consumer_t *c, long long msg_id) {
topic_t *t = broker_get_topic(g_broker, c->topic, 0);
if (t) {
update_offset(t, c->id, msg_id);
c->offset = msg_id;
}
}
// 消费者工作线程
void *consumer_worker(void *arg) {
consumer_t *c = (consumer_t*)arg;
topic_t *t = broker_get_topic(g_broker, c->topic, 0);
if (!t) return NULL;
while (c->running) {
message_t *msg = mq_pop(t->queue, 1000);
if (!msg) continue;
// 检查是否已消费过
if (msg->id <= c->offset) {
free(msg->body);
free(msg);
continue;
}
// 处理消息
if (c->callback) {
c->callback(msg);
}
// 自动确认
if (c->auto_ack) {
consumer_ack(c, msg->id);
}
free(msg->body);
free(msg);
}
return NULL;
}
void consumer_start(consumer_t *c) {
pthread_create(&c->thread, NULL, consumer_worker, c);
printf("消费者启动: %s, topic=%s\n", c->id, c->topic);
}
void consumer_stop(consumer_t *c) {
c->running = 0;
pthread_join(c->thread, NULL);
free(c);
}
```
- 生产者客户端
```c
typedef struct producer {
char id64;
broker_t *broker;
} producer_t;
producer_t *producer_create() {
producer_t *p = malloc(sizeof(producer_t));
snprintf(p->id, sizeof(p->id), "producer-%d", rand());
p->broker = g_broker;
return p;
}
int producer_send(producer_t *p, const char *topic, const char *body) {
return broker_produce(p->broker, topic, body, 0, NULL);
}
int producer_send_delay(producer_t *p, const char *topic,
const char *body, int delay_ms) {
return broker_produce(p->broker, topic, body, delay_ms, NULL);
}
void producer_destroy(producer_t *p) {
free(p);
}
```
- 测试代码
```c
void test_callback(message_t *msg) {
printf("消费者 收到消息: topic=%s, id=%lld, body=%s\n",
msg->topic, msg->id, msg->body);
}
int main() {
printf("=== 消息队列测试 ===\n");
// 初始化Broker
g_broker = broker_create();
// 创建生产者
producer_t *p1 = producer_create();
producer_t *p2 = producer_create();
// 创建消费者
consumer_t *c1 = consumer_create("test-topic", "group1", test_callback);
consumer_t *c2 = consumer_create("test-topic", "group1", test_callback); // 同组竞争
consumer_t *c3 = consumer_create("test-topic", "group2", test_callback); // 不同组广播
// 启动消费者
consumer_start(c1);
consumer_start(c2);
consumer_start(c3);
// 发送消息
printf("\n--- 发送消息 ---\n");
producer_send(p1, "test-topic", "Hello MQ!");
producer_send(p2, "test-topic", "Second message");
producer_send(p1, "test-topic", "Third message");
// 等待消费
sleep(2);
// 测试延迟消息
printf("\n--- 发送延迟消息（3秒后可见）---\n");
producer_send_delay(p1, "test-topic", "Delayed message", 3000);
sleep(4);
// 清理
consumer_stop(c1);
consumer_stop(c2);
consumer_stop(c3);
producer_destroy(p1);
producer_destroy(p2);
return 0;
}
```
三、编译和运行
```bash
gcc -o mq mq.c -lpthread
./mq
```
输出示例：
```
=== 消息队列测试 ===
创建主题: test-topic
生产消息: topic=test-topic, id=1, body=Hello MQ!
消费者 收到消息: topic=test-topic, id=1, body=Hello MQ!
生产消息: topic=test-topic, id=2, body=Second message
消费者 收到消息: topic=test-topic, id=2, body=Second message
生产消息: topic=test-topic, id=3, body=Third message
消费者 收到消息: topic=test-topic, id=3, body=Third message
--- 发送延迟消息（3秒后可见）---
生产消息: topic=test-topic, id=4, body=Delayed message
消费者 收到消息: topic=test-topic, id=4, body=Delayed message
```
