界: Time and State

分散式運算與時間和狀態相關。也就是說,為了使多個元件進行通訊,必須共用狀態,並且這一切都需要時間。

大多數的程式設計師將他們的工作擬人化。他們想採用一種控制執行緒來執行整個程式,就像他們必須自己完成這項工作一樣。但是,現代的電腦可以非常快速地切換工作,並且在多核心多 CPU 或分散式系統中,兩個事件可能恰好同時發生。瑕疵急於填補程式設計師在程式執行模型與實際情況之間的差距。這些瑕疵與執行緒、處理序、時間和資訊之間的意外互動有關。這些互動透過共用狀態發生:信號、變數、檔案系統,以及基本上任何可以儲存資訊的項目。

Race Condition

Abstract
設定的回撥可能造成競爭情形。
Explanation
Node.js 可讓開發人員將回撥指派給 IO 封鎖的事件。這能夠帶來更好的效能,因為回撥會異步執行,以便主應用程式不會遭到 IO 的封鎖。但是,當回撥以外的內容仰賴回撥內的程式碼才能首先執行時,這可能會反過來造成競爭情形。

範例 1:以下程式碼會對照用於驗證的資料庫來檢查使用者。

 
...
var authenticated = true;
...
database_connect.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE name == ? AND password = ? LIMIT 1', userNameFromUser, passwordFromUser, function(err, results){
if (!err && results.length > 0){
authenticated = true;
}else{
authenticated = false;
}
});

if (authenticated){
//do something privileged stuff
authenticatedActions();
}else{
sendUnathenticatedMessage();
}


在此範例中,我們將會呼叫後端資料庫來確認使用者的登入憑證,且如果確認,我們會將變數設為 true,否則會設為 false。很遺憾,由於回撥遭到 IO 封鎖,因此將會異步執行, 並可能在對 if (authenticated) 進行檢查後執行,而由於預設值為 true,因此無論使用者是否確實得到驗證,回撥都將進入 if 陳述式。
