某方法只要属于泛型类型,且使用该类型的类型参数,就不是泛型方法。 只有当方法有属于自己的类型参数列表时才是泛型方法。 多数泛型类型上的方法都不是泛型方法,如本示例所示。 有关发出泛型方法的示例,请参阅
如何:使用反射发出定义泛型方法
。
定义名为
GenericEmitExample1
的动态程序集。 在此示例中,执行了程序集并将其保存到磁盘中,所以指定了
AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave
。
AppDomain^ myDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
AssemblyName^ myAsmName = gcnew AssemblyName( L"GenericEmitExample1" );
AssemblyBuilder^ myAssembly = myDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly(
myAsmName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave );
AppDomain myDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
AssemblyName myAsmName = new AssemblyName("GenericEmitExample1");
AssemblyBuilder myAssembly =
myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(myAsmName,
AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave);
Dim myDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
Dim myAsmName As New AssemblyName("GenericEmitExample1")
Dim myAssembly As AssemblyBuilder = myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly( _
myAsmName, _
AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave)
定义动态模块。 程序集由可执行模块组成。 对于单模块程序集,模块名称与程序集名称相同,文件名为模块名称加上扩展名。
ModuleBuilder^ myModule = myAssembly->DefineDynamicModule(
myAsmName->Name, String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );
ModuleBuilder myModule =
myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule(myAsmName.Name,
myAsmName.Name + ".dll");
Dim myModule As ModuleBuilder = myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule( _
myAsmName.Name, _
myAsmName.Name & ".dll")
定义类。 在此示例中,类命名为 Sample
。
TypeBuilder^ myType = myModule->DefineType( L"Sample",
TypeAttributes::Public );
TypeBuilder myType =
myModule.DefineType("Sample", TypeAttributes.Public);
Dim myType As TypeBuilder = myModule.DefineType( _
"Sample", _
TypeAttributes.Public)
通过将包含参数名称的字符串数组传递给 TypeBuilder.DefineGenericParameters 方法来定义 Sample
的泛型类型参数。 这将使该类成为泛型类型。 返回值是表示类型参数的 GenericTypeParameterBuilder 对象数组,可用于发出的代码。
在以下代码中,Sample
将成为具有类型参数 TFirst
和 TSecond
的泛型类型。 为了使代码更易于阅读,每个 GenericTypeParameterBuilder 都将放置在与类型参数同名的变量中。
array<String^>^typeParamNames = {L"TFirst",L"TSecond"};
array<GenericTypeParameterBuilder^>^typeParams =
myType->DefineGenericParameters( typeParamNames );
GenericTypeParameterBuilder^ TFirst = typeParams[0];
GenericTypeParameterBuilder^ TSecond = typeParams[1];
string[] typeParamNames = {"TFirst", "TSecond"};
GenericTypeParameterBuilder[] typeParams =
myType.DefineGenericParameters(typeParamNames);
GenericTypeParameterBuilder TFirst = typeParams[0];
GenericTypeParameterBuilder TSecond = typeParams[1];
Dim typeParamNames() As String = {"TFirst", "TSecond"}
Dim typeParams() As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = _
myType.DefineGenericParameters(typeParamNames)
Dim TFirst As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = typeParams(0)
Dim TSecond As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = typeParams(1)
向类型参数添加特殊约束。 在此示例中,类型参数 TFirst
被限制为具有无参数构造函数的类型以及引用类型。
TFirst->SetGenericParameterAttributes(
GenericParameterAttributes::DefaultConstructorConstraint |
GenericParameterAttributes::ReferenceTypeConstraint
TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes(
GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint |
GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint);
TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes( _
GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint _
Or GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint)
可以选择向类型参数添加类约束和接口约束。 在此示例中,类型参数 TFirst
被限制为从 baseType
变量包含的 Type 对象所表示的基类中派生的类型,以及实现接口类型包含在变量 interfaceA
和 interfaceB
中的接口的类型。 有关这些变量的声明和分配,请参阅代码示例。
array<Type^>^interfaceTypes = { interfaceA, interfaceB };
TSecond->SetInterfaceConstraints( interfaceTypes );
TSecond->SetBaseTypeConstraint( baseType );
TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType);
Type[] interfaceTypes = {interfaceA, interfaceB};
TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes);
TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType)
Dim interfaceTypes() As Type = {interfaceA, interfaceB}
TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes)
定义字段。 在此示例中,该字段的类型由类型参数 TFirst
指定。 GenericTypeParameterBuilder 派生自 Type,因此可在任何能够使用类型的位置使用泛型类型参数。
FieldBuilder^ exField =
myType->DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst,
FieldAttributes::Private);
FieldBuilder exField =
myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst,
FieldAttributes.Private);
Dim exField As FieldBuilder = _
myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, _
FieldAttributes.Private)
定义使用泛型类型的类型参数的方法。 请注意,此类方法不是泛型方法,除非它们具有自己的类型参数列表。 以下代码定义一个 static
方法(在 Visual Basic 中为 Shared
),该方法接收一个 TFirst
数组并返回包含该数组所有元素的 List<TFirst>
(在 Visual Basic 中为 List(Of TFirst)
)。 若要定义此方法,需要通过调用泛型类型定义 List<T>
上的 MakeGenericType 来创建类型 List<TFirst>
。 (使用 typeof
运算符(在 Visual Basic 中为 GetType
)获取泛型类型定义时,将忽略 T
。) 通过使用 MakeArrayType 方法创建参数类型。
Type^ listOf = List::typeid;
Type^ listOfTFirst = listOf->MakeGenericType(TFirst);
array<Type^>^ mParamTypes = { TFirst->MakeArrayType() };
MethodBuilder^ exMethod =
myType->DefineMethod("ExampleMethod",
MethodAttributes::Public | MethodAttributes::Static,
listOfTFirst,
mParamTypes);
Type listOf = typeof(List<>);
Type listOfTFirst = listOf.MakeGenericType(TFirst);
Type[] mParamTypes = {TFirst.MakeArrayType()};
MethodBuilder exMethod =
myType.DefineMethod("ExampleMethod",
MethodAttributes.Public | MethodAttributes.Static,
listOfTFirst,
mParamTypes);
Dim listOf As Type = GetType(List(Of ))
Dim listOfTFirst As Type = listOf.MakeGenericType(TFirst)
Dim mParamTypes() As Type = {TFirst.MakeArrayType()}
Dim exMethod As MethodBuilder = _
myType.DefineMethod("ExampleMethod", _
MethodAttributes.Public Or MethodAttributes.Static, _
listOfTFirst, _
mParamTypes)
发出方法主体。 方法主体由三个操作码组成,这些操作码将输入数组加载到堆栈,调用接收 IEnumerable<TFirst>
的 List<TFirst>
构造函数(该函数完成将输入元素放入列表的所有工作)并返回(将新的 List<T> 对象留在堆栈中)。 发出此代码的难点在于获取构造函数。
GenericTypeParameterBuilder 中不支持 GetConstructor 方法,所以不可能直接获取 List<TFirst>
的构造函数。 首先,必须获取泛型类型定义 List<T>
的构造函数,然后调用一种可将其转换为 List<TFirst>
的对应构造函数的方法。
用于此代码示例的构造函数接收 IEnumerable<T>
。 但请注意,这不是 IEnumerable<T> 泛型接口的泛型类型定义;相反,必须将 List<T>
的类型参数 T
替代为 IEnumerable<T>
的类型参数 T
。 (这似乎容易混淆,因为这两个类型都具有名为 T
的类型参数。这就是此代码示例使用名称 TFirst
和 TSecond
的原因。)若要获取构造函数的参数类型,请从泛型类型定义 IEnumerable<T>
开始,并使用 MakeGenericType 的第一个泛型类型参数调用 List<T>
。 构造函数参数列表必须作为数组进行传递,在本例中只有一个参数。
在 C# 中使用 typeof
运算符时,泛型类型定义将表达为 IEnumerable<>
;在 Visual Basic 中使用 GetType
运算符时,泛型类型定义将表达为 IEnumerable(Of )
。
现在,可以通过调用泛型类型定义上的 GetConstructor 来获取 List<T>
的构造函数。 若要将此构造函数转换为 List<TFirst>
对应的构造函数,请将 List<TFirst>
和 List<T>
的构造函数传递给静态 TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(Type, ConstructorInfo) 方法。
ILGenerator^ ilgen = exMethod->GetILGenerator();
Type^ ienumOf = IEnumerable::typeid;
Type^ TfromListOf = listOf->GetGenericArguments()[0];
Type^ ienumOfT = ienumOf->MakeGenericType(TfromListOf);
array<Type^>^ ctorArgs = {ienumOfT};
ConstructorInfo^ ctorPrep = listOf->GetConstructor(ctorArgs);
ConstructorInfo^ ctor =
TypeBuilder::GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep);
ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Ldarg_0);
ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Newobj, ctor);
ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Ret);
ILGenerator ilgen = exMethod.GetILGenerator();
Type ienumOf = typeof(IEnumerable<>);
Type TfromListOf = listOf.GetGenericArguments()[0];
Type ienumOfT = ienumOf.MakeGenericType(TfromListOf);
Type[] ctorArgs = {ienumOfT};
ConstructorInfo ctorPrep = listOf.GetConstructor(ctorArgs);
ConstructorInfo ctor =
TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep);
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0);
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Newobj, ctor);
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);
Dim ilgen As ILGenerator = exMethod.GetILGenerator()
Dim ienumOf As Type = GetType(IEnumerable(Of ))
Dim listOfTParams() As Type = listOf.GetGenericArguments()
Dim TfromListOf As Type = listOfTParams(0)
Dim ienumOfT As Type = ienumOf.MakeGenericType(TfromListOf)
Dim ctorArgs() As Type = {ienumOfT}
Dim ctorPrep As ConstructorInfo = _
listOf.GetConstructor(ctorArgs)
Dim ctor As ConstructorInfo = _
TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep)
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0)
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Newobj, ctor)
ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ret)
创建类型,并保存文件。
Type^ finished = myType->CreateType();
myAssembly->Save( String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );
Type finished = myType.CreateType();
myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name+".dll");
Dim finished As Type = myType.CreateType()
myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name & ".dll")
调用方法。 ExampleMethod
不是泛型,但它所属的类型为泛型,因此,为了获取可以调用的 MethodInfo,需要从 Sample
的类型定义创建一个构造类型。 该构造类型使用 Example
类和 ExampleDerived
类,前者满足 TFirst
上的约束,因为它是引用类型并且具有默认的无参数构造函数,后者满足 TSecond
上的约束。 (示例代码部分提供了 ExampleDerived
的代码。)将这两个类型传递给 MakeGenericType 以创建构造类型。 然后使用 GetMethod 方法获取 MethodInfo。
array<Type^>^ typeArgs =
{ Example::typeid, ExampleDerived::typeid };
Type^ constructed = finished->MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
MethodInfo^ mi = constructed->GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
Type[] typeArgs = {typeof(Example), typeof(ExampleDerived)};
Type constructed = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
MethodInfo mi = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
Dim typeArgs() As Type = _
{GetType(Example), GetType(ExampleDerived)}
Dim constructed As Type = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs)
Dim mi As MethodInfo = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod")
以下代码将创建一个 Example
对象数组,将该数组放在类型为 Object,表示要调用的方法的参数的数组中,然后将创建的数组传递给 Invoke(Object, Object[]) 方法。 Invoke 方法的第一个参数是空引用,因为该方法为 static
。
array<Example^>^ input = { gcnew Example(), gcnew Example() };
array<Object^>^ arguments = { input };
List<Example^>^ listX =
(List<Example^>^) mi->Invoke(nullptr, arguments);
Console::WriteLine(
"\nThere are {0} elements in the List<Example>.",
listX->Count);
Example[] input = {new Example(), new Example()};
object[] arguments = {input};
List<Example> listX =
(List<Example>) mi.Invoke(null, arguments);
Console.WriteLine(
"\nThere are {0} elements in the List<Example>.",
listX.Count);
Dim input() As Example = {New Example(), New Example()}
Dim arguments() As Object = {input}
Dim listX As List(Of Example) = mi.Invoke(Nothing, arguments)
Console.WriteLine(vbLf & _
"There are {0} elements in the List(Of Example).", _
listX.Count _
以下代码示例定义一个名为 Sample
的类,还定义一个基类和两个接口。 该程序可为 Sample
定义两个泛型类型参数,使其成为泛型类型。 只有类型参数能使一个类型成为泛型类型。 该程序通过显示定义类型参数前后的测试消息来对此进行演示。
类型参数 TSecond
用于通过基类和接口来演示类和接口约束,类型参数 TFirst
用于演示特殊约束。
此代码示例针对字段类型以及方法的参数和返回类型,通过使用该类的类型参数定义字段和方法。
创建 Sample
类后,调用该方法。
该程序中包括一个可列出泛型类型信息的方法,和一个可列出类型参数上的特殊约束的方法。 这些方法用于显示有关已完成的 Sample
类的信息。
程序将完成的模块以 GenericEmitExample1.dll
的形式保存到磁盘中,所以可以使用 Ildasm.exe(IL 反汇编程序)将其打开,并检查 Sample
类的 MSIL。

' List(Of TFirst) constructor that takes IEnumerable(Of TFirst),
' which does all the work of putting the input elements into
' the list, and to return, leaving the list on the stack. The
' hard work is getting the constructor.
' The GetConstructor method is not supported on a
' GenericTypeParameterBuilder, so it is not possible to get
' the constructor of List(Of TFirst) directly. There are two
' steps, first getting the constructor of List(Of T) and then
' calling a method that converts it to the corresponding
' constructor of List(Of TFirst).
' The constructor needed here is the one that takes an
' IEnumerable(Of T). Note, however, that this is not the
' generic type definition of IEnumerable(Of T); instead, the
' T from List(Of T) must be substituted for the T of
' IEnumerable(Of T). (This seems confusing only because both
' types have type parameters named T. That is why this example
' uses the somewhat silly names TFirst and TSecond.) To get
' the type of the constructor argument, take the generic
' type definition IEnumerable(Of T) (expressed as
' IEnumerable(Of ) when you use the GetType operator) and
' call MakeGenericType with the first generic type parameter
' of List(Of T). The constructor argument list must be passed
' as an array, with just one argument in this case.
' Now it is possible to get the constructor of List(Of T),
' using GetConstructor on the generic type definition. To get
' the constructor of List(Of TFirst), pass List(Of TFirst) and
' the constructor from List(Of T) to the static
' TypeBuilder.GetConstructor method.
