一、节点的定义
在前面分析过了节点相关的应用和功能，也在其中分析过一些节点的数据定义情况。本文就对节点的数据定义进行一个更详细具体的分析说明，特别是对一些应用上的细节展开说明一下。知其然，然后知其所以然。
节点的定义，基本都是以模板进行的。所以希望大家有一些基本的模板的知识，否则看起来还是有些麻烦的。官方文档这样说：“A node is a class that inherits from oneapi::tbb::flow::graph_node and also typically inherits from oneapi::tbb::flow::sender , oneapi::tbb::flow::receiver or both. ”。可以理解为在TBB中创建节点一般是继承自上面的所说的三个数据结构的定义。当然，在TBB中已经定义了好几种节点类型，一般情况下，是不需要自己主动去自定义自己的节点类型了。
节点的数据结构，一般分为三块：
template< typename Body> function_node(graph &g, size_t concurrency, Body body)
也就是图，并行度和不同类型的执行体。图主要是用来限制节点的应用范围，即这个节点在哪个图中进行工作；concurrency用来限制节点并发调用的次数，可以是1（1代表串行）～N次;而Body则表示开发者定义的消息处理函数，它可以是函数、Lambda表达式等。通过这三项，基本就可以完成整个TBB节点的工作处理。
二、基本数据结构
下面先看一下基础的三个类型节点的定义中的第一个graph_node：
//! The base of all graph nodes.
class graph_node : no_copy {friend class graph;template<typename C, typename N>friend class graph_iterator;#if __TBB_PREVIEW_FLOW_GRAPH_NODE_SETfriend class get_graph_helper;
#endifprotected:graph& my_graph;graph& graph_reference() const {// TODO revamp: propagate graph_reference() method to all the reference places.return my_graph;}graph_node* next = nullptr;graph_node* prev = nullptr;
public:explicit graph_node(graph& g);virtual ~graph_node();protected:// performs the reset on an individual node.virtual void reset_node(reset_flags f = rf_reset_protocol) = 0;
}; // class graph_node
graph_node在上面的注释中已经说明了，其是TBB图中所有节点的基类。所以看它的实际定义其实非常简单，除了图相关的友元和变量外，只有几个节点的前驱和后继指针。其显示的构造函数要求必须输入一个图的数据对象。这也符合基类是一个抽象的设计。
再看一下相关的sender:
//! Pure virtual template class that defines a sender of messages of type T
template< typename T >
class sender {
public:virtual ~sender() {}//! Request an item from the sendervirtual bool try_get( T & ) { return false; }#if __TBB_PREVIEW_FLOW_GRAPH_TRY_PUT_AND_WAITvirtual bool try_get( T &, message_metainfo& ) { return false; }
#endif//! Reserves an item in the sendervirtual bool try_reserve( T & ) { return false; }#if __TBB_PREVIEW_FLOW_GRAPH_TRY_PUT_AND_WAITvirtual bool try_reserve( T &, message_metainfo& ) { return false; }
#endif//! Releases the reserved itemvirtual bool try_release( ) { return false; }//! Consumes the reserved itemvirtual bool try_consume( ) { return false; }protected://! The output type of this sendertypedef T output_type;//! The successor type for this nodetypedef receiver<T> successor_type;//! Add a new successor to this nodevirtual bool register_successor( successor_type &r ) = 0;//! Removes a successor from this nodevirtual bool remove_successor( successor_type &r ) = 0;template<typename C>friend bool register_successor(sender<C>& s, receiver<C>& r);template<typename C>friend bool remove_successor (sender<C>& s, receiver<C>& r);
}; // class sender<T>
上面的类注释也说明了，它是一个发送消息的纯虚拟的模板类。而在TBB中，节点的一个重要的功能就是能够收发消息，而消息的收发，又受限于图的约束（边和节点）。既然是一个纯虚类，那它就是一个接口类。这也符合消息传递的接口性的设计原则。在其中可以看到消息处理的函数接口如try_get等 。而与其相类似的是receiver:
//! Pure virtual template class that defines a receiver of messages of type T
template< typename T >
class receiver {
private:template <typename... TryPutTaskArgs>bool internal_try_put(const T& t, TryPutTaskArgs&&... args) {graph_task* res = try_put_task(t, std::forward<TryPutTaskArgs>(args)...);if (!res) return false;if (res != SUCCESSFULLY_ENQUEUED) spawn_in_graph_arena(graph_reference(), *res);return true;}public://! Destructorvirtual ~receiver() {}//! Put an item to the receiverbool try_put( const T& t ) {return internal_try_put(t);}#if __TBB_PREVIEW_FLOW_GRAPH_TRY_PUT_AND_WAIT//! Put an item to the receiver and wait for completionbool try_put_and_wait( const T& t ) {// Since try_put_and_wait is a blocking call, it is safe to create wait_context on stackd1::wait_context_vertex msg_wait_vertex{};bool res = internal_try_put(t, message_metainfo{message_metainfo::waiters_type{&msg_wait_vertex}});if (res) {__TBB_ASSERT(graph_reference().my_context != nullptr, "No wait_context associated with the Flow Graph");wait(msg_wait_vertex.get_context(), *graph_reference().my_context);}return res;}
#endif//! put item to successor; return task to run the successor if possible.
protected://! The input type of this receivertypedef T input_type;//! The predecessor type for this nodetypedef sender<T> predecessor_type;template< typename R, typename B > friend class run_and_put_task;template< typename X, typename Y > friend class broadcast_cache;template< typename X, typename Y > friend class round_robin_cache;virtual graph_task *try_put_task(const T& t) = 0;
#if __TBB_PREVIEW_FLOW_GRAPH_TRY_PUT_AND_WAITvirtual graph_task *try_put_task(const T& t, const message_metainfo&) = 0;
#endifvirtual graph& graph_reference() const = 0;template<typename TT, typename M> friend class successor_cache;virtual bool is_continue_receiver() { return false; }// TODO revamp: reconsider the inheritance and move node priority out of receivervirtual node_priority_t priority() const { return no_priority; }//! Add a predecessor to the nodevirtual bool register_predecessor( predecessor_type & ) { return false; }//! Remove a predecessor from the nodevirtual bool remove_predecessor( predecessor_type & ) { return false; }template <typename C>friend bool register_predecessor(receiver<C>& r, sender<C>& s);template <typename C>friend bool remove_predecessor (receiver<C>& r, sender<C>& s);
}; // class receiver<T>
在下面的try_put函数中可以看到TBB内部的处理过程：
//! Put an item to the receiverbool try_put( const T& t ) {return internal_try_put(t);}template <typename... TryPutTaskArgs>bool internal_try_put(const T& t, TryPutTaskArgs&&... args) {graph_task* res = try_put_task(t, std::forward<TryPutTaskArgs>(args)...);if (!res) return false;if (res != SUCCESSFULLY_ENQUEUED) spawn_in_graph_arena(graph_reference(), *res);return true;}
看明白了这三个基础的数据结构也就明白了为什么官网说都要从这三个类中继承。主要原因就在于一个节点中抛开图的相关内容后，关于节点的相关控制和消息处理，这三个类或多或少的都有。也就是说，除非完全手动创造代码，那最简单方便的就是从这三个类继承一下。
三、节点预定义数据结构
1、输入节点
//! An executable node that acts as a source, i.e. it has no predecessorstemplate < typename Output >__TBB_requires(std::copyable<Output>)
class input_node : public graph_node, public sender< Output > {

#endif//!

private:bool try_reserve( output_type& v, message_metainfo& ) override {return try_reserve(v);}bool try_get( output_type& v, message_metainfo& ) override {return try_get(v);}
public:
#endif//! Release a reserved item./** true = item has been released and so remains in sender, dest must request or reserve future items */bool try_release( ) override {spin_mutex::scoped_lock lock(my_mutex);__TBB_ASSERT( my_reserved && my_has_cached_item, "releasing non-existent reservation" );my_reserved = false;if(!my_successors.empty())spawn_put();return true;}//!

}; // class input_node
输入节点比较复杂一些，但仔细看其中的代码，其实没有什么特别的，其实具体到最后就是任务的处理了。毕竟其属于对消息的接收处理。
2、功能节点
//! Implements a function node that supports Input -> Output
template<typename Input, typename Output = continue_msg, typename Policy = queueing>__TBB_requires(std::default_initializable<Input> &&std::copy_constructible<Input> &&std::copy_constructible<Output>)

3、输出节点
//! Forwards messages of type T to all successors
template <typename T>
class broadcast_node : public graph_node, public receiver<T>, public sender<T> {
public:typedef T input_type;typedef T output_type;typedef typename receiver<input_type>::predecessor_type predecessor_type;typedef typename sender<output_type>::successor_type successor_type;

}; // broadcast_node而广播节点则更容易为开发者理解，它其实就是将消息转发的一个节点。不做缓存，这和实际的广播也是相同的。广播完成，消息也就没了。
当然，除了上面的三种节点，在TBB中还有不少的节点类型，这里只截取这三种比较有代表性的来给大家分析一下。其实通过这些节点的类型分析，是不是考虑可以更抽象一层的对其进行封装，而不是简单的应用这些节点类型。让这些节点被抽象到更高层后，可能应用会更方便，也可能更符合当前的实际应用场景。
四、总结
源码之前，了无秘密。这句话太实在了。一个高手的再好的设计再牛的编码，最终都得体现到代码中去。否则，这种思想的体现就无法实现，而无法实现的思想，至少在实践这个角度上，就无法让大多数人学会。计算机技术的特点就是如此，代码就是王道。
