php natsort内核函数浅析第1/2页

官方手册（http://us.php.com/manual/en/function.natsort.php）
代码如下:
bool natsort ( array &$array )
This function implements a sort algorithm that orders alphanumeric strings in the way a human being would while maintaining key/value associations. This is described as a "natural ordering". An example of the difference between this algorithm and the regular computer string sorting algorithms (used in sort()) can be seen in the example below.

据官方手册还可以得到这样的结果：

显然这很适合对类似文件名的排序。从结果看这种自然算法应该是去掉头和尾的非数字部分，然后对留下来的数字部分进行排序，究竟是不是，还是看一下php源码吧。
代码如下:
//从ext/standard/array.c抽取的相关代码如下
static int php_array_natural_general_compare(const void *a, const void *b, int fold_case) /* {{{ */
{
    Bucket *f, *s;
    zval *fval, *sval;
    zval first, second;
    int result;
    f = *((Bucket **) a);
    s = *((Bucket **) b);
    fval = *((zval **) f->pData);
    sval = *((zval **) s->pData);
    first = *fval;
    second = *sval;
    if (Z_TYPE_P(fval) != IS_STRING) {
        zval_copy_ctor(&first);
        convert_to_string(&first);
    }
    if (Z_TYPE_P(sval) != IS_STRING) {
        zval_copy_ctor(&second);
        convert_to_string(&second);
    }
    result = strnatcmp_ex(Z_STRVAL(first), Z_STRLEN(first), Z_STRVAL(second), Z_STRLEN(second), fold_case);
    if (Z_TYPE_P(fval) != IS_STRING) {
        zval_dtor(&first);
    }
    if (Z_TYPE_P(sval) != IS_STRING) {
        zval_dtor(&second);
    }
    return result;
}
/* }}} */
static int php_array_natural_compare(const void *a, const void *b TSRMLS_DC) /* {{{ */
{
    return php_array_natural_general_compare(a, b, 0);
}
/* }}} */
static void php_natsort(INTERNAL_FUNCTION_PARAMETERS, int fold_case) /* {{{ */
{
    zval *array;
    if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "a", &array) == FAILURE) {
        return;
    }
    if (fold_case) {
        if (zend_hash_sort(Z_ARRVAL_P(array), zend_qsort, php_array_natural_case_compare, 0 TSRMLS_CC) == FAILURE) {
            return;
        }
    } else {
        if (zend_hash_sort(Z_ARRVAL_P(array), zend_qsort, php_array_natural_compare, 0 TSRMLS_CC) == FAILURE) {
            return;
        }
    }
    RETURN_TRUE;
}
/* }}} */
/* {{{ proto void natsort(array &array_arg)
Sort an array using natural sort */
PHP_FUNCTION(natsort)
{
    php_natsort(INTERNAL_FUNCTION_PARAM_PASSTHRU, 0);
}
/* }}} */

虽然是第一次查看php的内核代码，不过凭借多年看代码的经验，还是很容易找到这个自然排序算法的核心就是函数：strnatcmp_ex（位于ext/standard/strnatcmp.c文件中）。
