在 WPF 程序中,可能会存在 Application.Current.Dispatcher.Xxx 这样的代码让一部分逻辑回到主 UI 线程。因为发现在调用这句代码的时候出现了 NullReferenceException,于是就有三位小伙伴告诉我说 CurrentDispatcher 属性都可能为 null

然而实际上这里只可能 Currentnull 而此上下文的 Dispatcher 是绝对不会为 null 的。(当然我们这里讨论的是常规编程手段,如果非常规手段,你甚至可以让实例的 thisnull 呢……)


由于本文所述的两个部分都略长,所以拆分成两篇博客,这样更容易理解。

Application.Dispatcher 实例属性

Application.Dispatcher 实例属性来自于 DispatcherObject

源代码

为了分析此属性是否可能为 null,我现在将 DispatcherObject 的全部代码贴在下面:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134

代码来自:DispatcherObject.cs

Dispatcher 属性仅仅是在获取 _dispatcher 字段的值,因此我们只需要看 _dispatcher 字段的赋值时机,以及所有给 _dispatcher 赋值的代码。

由于 _dispatcher 字段是私有字段,所以仅需调查这个类本身即可找到所有的赋值时机。(反射等非常规手段需要排除在外,因为这意味着开发者是逗比——自己闯的祸不能怪 WPF 框架。)

赋值时机

先来看看 dispatcher 字段的赋值时机。

DispatcherObject 仅有一个构造函数,而这个构造函数中就已经给 _dispatcher 赋值了,因此其所有的子类的初始化之前,_dispatcher 就会被赋值。

1 2 3 4

protected DispatcherObject() { _dispatcher = Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher; }

那么所赋的值是否可能为 null 呢,这就要看 Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher 是否可能返回一个 null 了。

以下是 Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher 的属性获取代码:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

public static Dispatcher CurrentDispatcher { get { // Find the dispatcher for this thread. Dispatcher currentDispatcher = FromThread(Thread.CurrentThread);; // Auto-create the dispatcher if there is no dispatcher for // this thread (if we are allowed to). if(currentDispatcher == null) { currentDispatcher = new Dispatcher(); } return currentDispatcher; } }

可以看到,无论前面的方法得到的值是否是 null,后面都会再给 currentDispatcher 局部变量赋值一个新创建的实例的。因此,此属性是绝对不会返回 null 的。

由此可知,DispatcherObject 自构造起便拥有一个不为 nullDispatcher 属性,其所有子类在初始化之前便会得到不为 nullDispatcher 属性。

后续赋值

现在我们来看看在初始化完成之后,后面是否有可能将 _dispatcher 赋值为 null。

_dispatcher 字段的赋值代码仅有两个:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

// This method allows certain derived classes to break the dispatcher affinity // of our objects. FriendAccessAllowed // Built into Base, also used by Framework. internal void DetachFromDispatcher() { _dispatcher = null; } // Make this object a "sentinel" - it can be used in equality tests, but should // not be used in any other way. To enforce this and catch bugs, use a special // sentinel dispatcher, so that calls to CheckAccess and VerifyAccess will // fail; this will catch most accidental uses of the sentinel. FriendAccessAllowed // Built into Base, also used by Framework. internal void MakeSentinel() { _dispatcher = EnsureSentinelDispatcher(); }

第一个 DetachFromDispatcher 很好理解,让 DispatcherObjectDispatcher 无关。在整个 WPF 的代码中,使用此方法的仅有以下 6 处:

  • Freezable.Freeze 实例方法
  • BeginStoryboard.Seal 实例方法
  • Style.Seal 实例方法
  • TriggerBase.Seal 实例方法
  • StyleHelperSealTemplate 静态方法中对 FrameworkTemplate 类型的实例调用此方法
  • ResourceDictionary 在构造函数中为 DispatcherObject 类型的 DummyInheritanceContext 属性调用此方法

Application 类型不是以上任何一个类型的子类(Application 类的直接基类是 DispatcherObject),因此 Application 类中的 Dispatcher 属性不可能因为 DetachFromDispatcher 方法的调用而被赋值为 null

接下来看看 MakeSentinel 方法,此方法的作用不如上面方法那样直观,实际上它的作用仅仅为了验证某个方法调用时所在的线程是否是符合预期的(给 VerifyAccessCheckAccess 使用)。

使用此方法的仅有 1 处:

  • ItemsControl 所用的 ItemInfo 类的静态构造函数

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

internal static readonly DependencyObject SentinelContainer = new DependencyObject(); internal static readonly DependencyObject UnresolvedContainer = new DependencyObject(); internal static readonly DependencyObject KeyContainer = new DependencyObject(); internal static readonly DependencyObject RemovedContainer = new DependencyObject(); static ItemInfo() { // mark the special DOs as sentinels. This helps catch bugs involving // using them accidentally for anything besides equality comparison. SentinelContainer.MakeSentinel(); UnresolvedContainer.MakeSentinel(); KeyContainer.MakeSentinel(); RemovedContainer.MakeSentinel(); }

所有这些使用都与 Application 无关。

结论

总结以上所有的分析:

  1. Application 类型的实例在初始化之前,Dispatcher 属性就已经被赋值且不为 null
  2. 所有可能改变 _dispatcher 属性的常规方法均与 Application 类型无关;

因此,所有常规手段均不会让 Application 类的 Dispatcher 属性拿到 null 值。如果你还说拿到了 null,那就检查是否有逗比程序员通过反射或其他手段将 _dispatcher 字段改为了 null 吧……

Application.Current 静态属性
