HomeWeb Front-endJS Tutorial浅谈Javascript线程及定时机制

setTimeout、setInterval的使用

  Javascript api文档中定义setTimeout和setInterval第二个参数意义分别为间隔多少毫秒后回调函数被执行和每隔多少毫秒回调函数被执行。但随着工作经验的积累,我们发现事实并非如此。

例如:

<code class="language-javascript">div.onclick=function(){
  setTimeout(function(){
     document.getElementById('input').focus(); 
  },0);
}</code>

就解释不通了,立即执行就立即执行呗,干嘛还要设置个定时兜个圈子呢。

又有一天你写了下面一段代码

<code class="language-javascript">setTimeout(function(){while(true){}},100);
setTimeout(function(){alert('你好');},200);</code>

第一行代码死循环,结果造成第二行alert始终没有出现,为啥哩?

单线程or多线程?
原来,Javascript引擎是单线程运行的,浏览器只有一个线程在运行JavaScript程序。因为单线程的设计,所以免去了复杂的多线程同步问题。

当设置一个定时的时候,浏览器会在设定的时间后将你指定的回调函数插入任务序列,而非立即执行。如果设定定时时间为0,表示立即插入任务序列,而不是立即执行,仍然要等队列中任务执行完毕,轮到你,你才执行。

所以下面代码先弹出2,再弹出1

<code class="language-javascript">setTimeout(function(){
  alert(1);
},0);
alert(2);</code>

那么,这又有什么实际用途呢?且看下面示例

<code class="language-html">

  
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>setTimeout 0</title>
  
  
    输入字符,但内容却不能实时显示<input type="text" onkeydown="show(this.value)"> <br>
    输入字符,内容能实时显示<input type="text" onkeydown="var self=this;setTimeout(function(){show(self.value)},0)">
    <div></div>
    <script>
      function show(val){
        document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0].innerHTML=val;
      }
    </script>
  
</code>

这个例子中,js引擎需要执行keydown事件处理程序,然后更新输入框的value值。事件处理程序执行时,更新value的任务只能进入队列等待,所以keydown事件执行时无法得到更新后的value值;但通过setTimeout我们把取value的操作放入队列,并在更新value之后执行,所以内容就能实时显示了。

再回来看看下面的代码:

<code class="language-javascript">setTimeout(function(){
  //do something...
   setTimeout(arguments.callee,10);
},10);
 
setInterval(function(){
  //do something...
},10);</code>

这两段代码看起来效果一样,是不是。其实还是有区别的,第一段的回调函数内的setTimeout是js引擎执行后再设定的新的定时,假定从上一个回调处理完到下一个回调开始为一个时间间隔,理论上时间间隔>=10ms,后一段代码

说到这儿,那XMLHttpRequest是不是真的异步呢?是的,请求是异步的,不过这请求是浏览器新开的一个线程。当请求的状态变更时,如果先前已设置回调,异步线程就将状态变更事件放入js引擎处理队列中等待处理,当任务被处理时js引擎始终还是单线程地执行onreadystatechange所设置的函数的。

From C/C   to JavaScript: How It All WorksFrom C/C to JavaScript: How It All WorksApr 14, 2025 am 12:05 AM

The shift from C/C to JavaScript requires adapting to dynamic typing, garbage collection and asynchronous programming. 1) C/C is a statically typed language that requires manual memory management, while JavaScript is dynamically typed and garbage collection is automatically processed. 2) C/C needs to be compiled into machine code, while JavaScript is an interpreted language. 3) JavaScript introduces concepts such as closures, prototype chains and Promise, which enhances flexibility and asynchronous programming capabilities.

JavaScript Engines: Comparing ImplementationsJavaScript Engines: Comparing ImplementationsApr 13, 2025 am 12:05 AM

Different JavaScript engines have different effects when parsing and executing JavaScript code, because the implementation principles and optimization strategies of each engine differ. 1. Lexical analysis: convert source code into lexical unit. 2. Grammar analysis: Generate an abstract syntax tree. 3. Optimization and compilation: Generate machine code through the JIT compiler. 4. Execute: Run the machine code. V8 engine optimizes through instant compilation and hidden class, SpiderMonkey uses a type inference system, resulting in different performance performance on the same code.

JavaScript: Exploring the Versatility of a Web LanguageJavaScript: Exploring the Versatility of a Web LanguageApr 11, 2025 am 12:01 AM

JavaScript is the core language of modern web development and is widely used for its diversity and flexibility. 1) Front-end development: build dynamic web pages and single-page applications through DOM operations and modern frameworks (such as React, Vue.js, Angular). 2) Server-side development: Node.js uses a non-blocking I/O model to handle high concurrency and real-time applications. 3) Mobile and desktop application development: cross-platform development is realized through ReactNative and Electron to improve development efficiency.

The Evolution of JavaScript: Current Trends and Future ProspectsThe Evolution of JavaScript: Current Trends and Future ProspectsApr 10, 2025 am 09:33 AM

The latest trends in JavaScript include the rise of TypeScript, the popularity of modern frameworks and libraries, and the application of WebAssembly. Future prospects cover more powerful type systems, the development of server-side JavaScript, the expansion of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the potential of IoT and edge computing.

Demystifying JavaScript: What It Does and Why It MattersDemystifying JavaScript: What It Does and Why It MattersApr 09, 2025 am 12:07 AM

JavaScript is the cornerstone of modern web development, and its main functions include event-driven programming, dynamic content generation and asynchronous programming. 1) Event-driven programming allows web pages to change dynamically according to user operations. 2) Dynamic content generation allows page content to be adjusted according to conditions. 3) Asynchronous programming ensures that the user interface is not blocked. JavaScript is widely used in web interaction, single-page application and server-side development, greatly improving the flexibility of user experience and cross-platform development.
