路径为：./src/runtime/chan.go 文件中，先看channel结构体:
type hchan struct {
qcount uint // total data in the queue 当前队列中的数据的个数
dataqsiz uint // size of the circular queue channel环形队列的大小
buf unsafe.Pointer // points to an array of dataqsiz elements 存放数据的环形队列的指针
elemsize uint16 // channel 中存放的数据类型的大小|即每个元素的大小
closed uint32 // channel 是否关闭的标示
elemtype *_type // element type channel中存放的元素的类型
sendx uint // send index 当前发送元素指向channel环形队列的下标指针
recvx uint // receive index 当前接收元素指向channel环形队列的下标指针
recvq waitq // list of recv waiters 等待接收元素的goroutine队列
sendq waitq // list of send waiters 等待发送元素的goroutine队列
// lock protects all fields in hchan, as well as several
// fields in sudogs blocked on this channel.
//
// Do not change another G's status while holding this lock
// (in particular, do not ready a G), as this can deadlock
// with stack shrinking.
// 保持此锁定时不要更改另一个G的状态（特别是，没有准备好G），因为这可能会因堆栈收缩而死锁。
lock mutex
}
以及waitq的结构体：
//等待发送及接收的等待接收元素的goroutine队列的结构体
type waitq struct {
first *sudog
last *sudog
}
等待发送或接受goroutine链表的结构体sudog:
// sudog表示等待链表中的g，例如用于发送/接收在频道上。
// 一个G可以出现在许多等待列表中，因此一个G有许多sudog；许多G可能在等待相同的结果,同步对象，因此一个对象可能有多个sudog。
// sudog是从一个特殊的池中分配的。使用AcquireDog和
// 释放sudog来分配和释放它们。
type sudog struct {
// 以下字段受hchan.lock的保护
g *g // 绑定的goroutine
isSelect bool // isSelect的布尔值表示该线程是否正在进行操作channel
next *sudog // 指向下一个等待线程的指针地址
prev *sudog // 指向上一个等待线程的指针地址
elem unsafe.Pointer // data element (may point to stack) 数据对象（可能指向栈）
// 当进行channel的send操作时，elem代表将要保存进channel的元素
// 当进行channel的recv操作时, elem代表从channel接受的元素
// G1执行ch<-task4的时候，G1会创建一个sudog然后将elem保存进入sendq队列
// 从不同场景访问以下字段。
// 对于channel，WaitLink只能由G访问。
// 对于信号量，所有字段（包括上面的字段）只有在持有semaroot锁时才能访问。
acquiretime int64 // 获取时间
releasetime int64 // 释放时间
ticket uint32
parent *sudog // semaRoot binary tree
waitlink *sudog // g.waiting list or semaRoot
waittail *sudog // semaRoot
c *hchan // channel // 绑定channel
}
从以上三个结构体我们即可看出channel其实就是由一个环形数组实现的队列用于在确定大小的连续内存块进行数据元素的存储，用waitq以及链表sudog共同实现goroutine的等待队列，并在每个链表元素中存储待从channel中取出或拷贝进channel的数据元素,可以理解为每个等待线程都是channel的搬运工，负责运送数据.
其中hchan中的lock是 recvq 是读操作阻塞在 channel 的 goroutine 列表，sendq 是写操作阻塞在 channel 的 goroutine 列表。
qcount 和 dataqsiz 分别描述了该channel的当前使用量和最大容量。
接下来进行channel的每一个函数方法进行分析:
makechan:
func makechan(t *chantype, size int) *hchan {
elem := t.elem
// compiler checks this but be safe.
// 判断定义的channel存储的每个元素大小是否在范围内
if elem.size >= 1<<16 {
throw("makechan: invalid channel element type")
}
if hchanSize%maxAlign != 0 || elem.align > maxAlign {
throw("makechan: bad alignment")
}
// 计算channel所需要分配的内存大小
mem, overflow := math.MulUintptr(elem.size, uintptr(size))
// 判断内存大小是否超过限制
if overflow || mem > maxAlloc-hchanSize || size < 0 {
panic(plainError("makechan: size out of range"))
}
var c *hchan
switch {
// 当计算channel的内存大小为0时创建不带buffer的channel
case mem == 0:
// Queue or element size is zero.
c = (*hchan)(mallocgc(hchanSize, nil, true))
// Race detector uses this location for synchronization.
c.buf = c.raceaddr()
// elem类型非指针
// 当计算channel的内存大小为0时创建带buffer的channel
// 分配连续的内存 （连续内存有利于提高内存使用效率）
// 直接从栈中分配内存
case elem.kind&kindNoPointers != 0:
// 分配内存
c = (*hchan)(mallocgc(hchanSize+mem, nil, true))
c.buf = add(unsafe.Pointer(c), hchanSize)
// 当channel元素类型包含指针时分配离散的内存
default:
// Elements contain pointers.
c = new(hchan)
// 分配内存
c.buf = mallocgc(mem, elem, true)
}
c.elemsize = uint16(elem.size)
c.elemtype = elem
c.dataqsiz = uint(size)
if debugChan {
print("makechan: chan=", c, "; elemsize=", elem.size, "; elemalg=", elem.alg, "; dataqsiz=", size, "\n")
}
return c
}
函数接收两个参数，一个是channel里面保存的元素的数据类型，一个是缓冲的容量(如果为0表示是非缓冲buffer)，创建流程如下：
根据传递的缓冲大小size是否为零，分别创建不带buffer的channel或则带size大小的缓冲channel：
对于不带缓冲channel，申请一个hchan数据结构的内存大小；
对于带缓冲channel，new一个hchan对象，并初始化buffer内存；
对于包含指针带缓存的channel同样申请一个hchan数据结构的内存大小;
以及设置channel的属性。
带指针以及不带指针带内存申请区别可以看内存管理相关源码。
chanbuf:
//chanbuf(c, i) is pointer to the i'th slot in the buffer.
func chanbuf(c *hchan, i uint) unsafe.Pointer {
return add(c.buf, uintptr(i)*uintptr(c.elemsize))
}
chanbuf的实现很简单，主要就是根据下标（sendx或recvx）以及每一个元素的大小还有环形队列的指针计算出该下标槽点内存地址并返回
chansend：
// 通用单通道发送/接收
// 如果阻塞不是nil，则将不会休眠，但如果无法完成则返回。
// 当睡眠中涉及的通道关闭时，睡眠可以通过g.param == nil唤醒。 最简单的循环和重新运行操作; 我们会
// 看到它现在已经关闭了。
func chansend(c *hchan, ep unsafe.Pointer, block bool, callerpc uintptr) bool {
// 当 channel 未初始化或为 nil 时，向其中发送数据将会永久阻塞
if c == nil {
if !block {
return false
}
// gopark 会使当前 goroutine 休眠，并通过 unlockf 唤醒，但是此时传入的 unlockf 为 nil, 因此，goroutine 会一直休眠
gopark(nil, nil, waitReasonChanSendNilChan, traceEvGoStop, 2)
throw("unreachable")
}
if debugChan {
print("chansend: chan=", c, "\n")
}
// 如果开启了竞争检测
if raceenabled {
racereadpc(c.raceaddr(), callerpc, funcPC(chansend))
}
// Fast path: check for failed non-blocking operation without acquiring the lock.
//
// After observing that the channel is not closed, we observe that the channel is
// not ready for sending. Each of these observations is a single word-sized read
// (first c.closed and second c.recvq.first or c.qcount depending on kind of channel).
// Because a closed channel cannot transition from 'ready for sending' to
// 'not ready for sending', even if the channel is closed between the two observations,
// they imply a moment between the two when the channel was both not yet closed
// and not ready for sending. We behave as if we observed the channel at that moment,
// and report that the send cannot proceed.
//
// It is okay if the reads are reordered here: if we observe that the channel is not
// ready for sending and then observe that it is not closed, that implies that the
// channel wasn't closed during the first observation.

send 有以下四种情况：【都是对不为nil的chan的情况】
1.向已经close的chan写数据，抛panic。
2.有 goroutine 阻塞在 channel recv 队列上，此时缓存队列( hchan.buf)为空(即缓冲区内无元素)，直接将消息发送给 reciever goroutine,只产生一次复制,从当前 channel 的等待队列中取出等待的 goroutine，然后调用 send。goready 负责唤醒 goroutine。
3.当 channel 缓存队列( hchan.buf )有剩余空间时，将数据放到队列里，等待接收，接收后总共产生两次复制
4.当 channel 缓存队列( hchan.buf )已满时，将当前 goroutine 加入 send 队列并阻塞
receive：
// chanrecv receives on channel c and writes the received data to ep.
// ep may be nil, in which case received data is ignored.

// Otherwise, fills in *ep with an element and returns (true, true).
// A non-nil ep must point to the heap or the caller's stack.
