Scala 优先考虑隐式转换而不是“自然”转换。操作...为什么?这是一个错误吗?或者我做错了什么?
当然,这个简单的测试按预期工作:
scala> var b = 2 b: Int = 2 scala> b += 1 scala> b res3: Int = 3
现在我将其纳入范围:
class A(var x: Int) { def +=(y:Int) { this.x += y } } implicit def int2A(i:Int) : A = new A(i)
我正在定义一个新类并对其进行 += 操作,并在我想要将 Int 添加到 A 时进行方便的隐式转换整数值。
当“A”类根本不是表达式的一部分时,我从未预料到这会影响我的常规 Int 操作的行为方式。
但确实如此:
scala> var b:Int = 0 b: Int = 0 scala> b += 1 scala> b res29: Int = 0 scala> b += 2 scala> b res31: Int = 0
这里似乎发生的是 b:Int 被隐式转换为“A”,它没有绑定到任何变量,然后对其调用 += ,丢弃结果。
Scala 似乎对已经定义为 Ints 的自然 += 行为(编译器魔术,而不是实际方法)给予隐式转换高度优先。常识和 C++ 背景告诉我,只有在万不得已时才应调用隐式,否则编译会失败。这引出了几个问题……
- 为什么?这是一个错误吗?是设计使然吗?
- 有没有解决方法(除了不使用“+=”来执行 DSL 的“+=”操作)?
谢谢
This simple test, of course, works as expected:
scala> var b = 2 b: Int = 2 scala> b += 1 scala> b res3: Int = 3
Now I bring this into scope:
class A(var x: Int) { def +=(y:Int) { this.x += y } } implicit def int2A(i:Int) : A = new A(i)
I'm defining a new class and a += operation on it, and a convenient implicit conversion for those times when I want to add an Int to A's Int value.
I never expected this would affect the way my regular Int operations behave, when the "A" class is not at all part of the expression.
But it does:
scala> var b:Int = 0 b: Int = 0 scala> b += 1 scala> b res29: Int = 0 scala> b += 2 scala> b res31: Int = 0
What seems to be happening here is that the b:Int is implicitly converted to an "A", which is not bound to any variable, and then += is invoked on it, discarding the results.
Scala seems to give high precedence the implicit conversion over the natural += behavior (compiler magic, not an actual method) that is already defined to Ints. Common-sense as well as a C++ background tells me implicits should only be invoked as a last resort, when the compilation would otherwise fail. That leads to several questions...
- Why? Is this a bug? Is it by design?
- Is there a work-around (other than not using "+=" for my DSL's "+=" operation)?

正如其他人所指出的,Int 不能有 +=“方法”,因为 Int 是不可变的。相反,x += 1 被视为 x = x + 1 的简写形式,但前提是不存在
在类型上定义的名为 += 的方法。因此方法解析优先。
鉴于 Scala 允许您定义 += 方法,并且还允许您对变量执行 +=,我们是否可以更改两者的优先级?即首先尝试扩展 +=,并且仅当搜索名为 += 的方法失败时才尝试扩展 +=?
理论上是的,但我认为这会比当前的计划更糟糕。实际上,不。 Scala 的集合库中有很多类型都定义了 + 方法
非破坏性加法和破坏性加法的 += 方法。如果我们切换了优先级,那么像这样的调用
将扩展为
So 它将构造一个新的哈希表并将其分配回变量,而不是简单地更新元素。这不是明智之举...
As others have noted, Int cannot have a += "method", because Int is immutable. What happens instead is that x += 1 is treated as a short form for x = x + 1, but only if there is no
method called += that is defined on the type. So method resolution takes precedence.
Given that Scala lets you define += methods and also lets you do += on variables, could we have changed the priority of the two? I.e. try expanded += first and only if that fails search for a method named +=?
Theoretically yes, but I argue it would have been worse than the current scheme. Practically, no. There are many types in Scala's collection library that define both a + method for
non-destructive addition and a += method for destructive addition. If we had switched the priority around then a call like
would expand to
So it would construct a new hashtable and assign this back to the variable, instead of simply updating an element. Not a wise thing to do...
来自 Scala 编程,第 17 章:
类 Int 不包含方法
+=。然而类
A
提供了+=
方法。这可能会触发从Int
到A
的隐式转换。From Programming in Scala, Chapter 17:
The class Int does not contain method
+=
. However classA
provides+=
method. That might be triggering the implicit conversion fromInt
toA
.我不认为这是一个错误。
实际上,Int只有“+”方法而没有“+=”方法。
如果不存在其他具有“+=”方法的隐式,则 b += 1 将在编译时转换为 b = b + 1。
I don't think it is a bug.
Actually, Int only has a "+" method but doesn't have a "+=" method.
b += 1 would transform to b = b + 1 in compile time if there is not a other implicit which has a "+=" method exists.
你说的是哪个版本的 Scala?我不知道有任何版本在
Int
上有+=
方法。当然,仍然受支持的版本都没有这样做,那一定是您那里的某个真正古老版本。由于
Int
上没有+=
,但您在上调用一个
,Scala 尝试通过隐式转换来满足该类型约束。+=
方法IntWhich version of Scala are you talking about? I don't know of any version that has a
+=
method onInt
. Certainly, none of the still supported versions do, that must be some really ancient version you have there.And since there is no
+=
onInt
, but you are calling a+=
method onInt
, Scala tries to satisfy that type constraint via an implicit conversion.即使不顾 Eastsun 的解释,这似乎是一个错误,它应该在尝试
+=
的隐式转换之前尝试b=b+1
转换。请通过发送电子邮件至 [email protected] 或访问 n4.nabble.com/Scala-User-f1934582.html。如果它是一个错误,那就是它会被注意到并修复的地方。
Even withstanding Eastsun's explanation, it seems like this is a bug, and it should try the
b=b+1
transformation before trying an implicit conversion for+=
.Please ask this question to the scala-user email list by emailing [email protected] or by visiting n4.nabble.com/Scala-User-f1934582.html. If it's a bug, that's where it will be noticed and fixed.
