为什么这个复杂的泛型示例不能使用 Java 7 编译(但可以使用 Java 8),我该如何解决它?

Why does this complex generics example not compile with Java 7, (but does with Java 8), and how can I work around it?

这是代码。 Java 7 和 8 的错误和警告都包含在注释中。

可以更改 takeCollection(...) 的签名,以便调用者可以调用它并传递 SubRoot/Foo/Bar 集合并编译它两者都反对 Java 7 和 8,而不必通过重载在方法签名中专门引用 SubRoot/Foo/Bar 类型(其中可能有很多,一些在这个项目不可见的依赖项目中)?如果可以,怎么做?

如果我将 takeCollection 的签名更改为:

,所有编译错误都会消失
<R extends Root<F,B>, F extends Foo<F,B>, B extends Bar<F,B>>
void takeCollection(Collection<? extends R> collection) {}

虽然有 unchecked/unsafe 个操作警告,但都与原始类型有关。

我会像下面这样更改签名:

void takeOne(Root<?,?> one) {}

void takeCollection(Collection<? extends Root<?,?>> collection) {}

void testOneRoot1(Root<?,?> root, Foo<?,?> foo, Bar<?,?> bar) {}

<R extends Root<F,B>, F extends Foo<F,B>, B extends Bar<F,B>>
void testOneRoot2(R root, F foo, B bar) {}

void testOneSubRoot(SubRoot subRoot, SubFoo subFoo, SubBar subBar) {}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
void testRootCollectionRaw(@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") Collection<? extends Root> collection) {
   takeCollection((Collection<? extends Root<?,?>>)collection);    
}      

void testRootCollection1(Collection<? extends Root<?,?>> collection) {}

void testRootCollection2(Collection<? extends Root<?,?>> collection) {}

您的代码应该使用此签名为 Java 7 和 Java 8 进行编译,而不会出现错误或警告。在您的代码中有几个地方可以用通配符替换泛型类型参数。例如<R extends Root<F,B>, F extends Foo<F,B>, B extends Bar<F,B>> void takeOne(R one) {}几乎等同于void takeOne(Root<?,?> one) {},因为FB的绑定方式已经由Root的签名定义了。 testRootCollectionRaw 是一个特例,因为它以原始类型为上界。我宁愿在 testRootCollectionRaw 方法中使用未经检查的转换来解决这种情况,而不是通过调整 takeCollection 签名使其工作。

您的原始代码无法针对 Java 7 进行编译的原因是 Java 7 中的类型推断不如 Java 8 中的类型推断先进。Java 8 将在类型推断上考虑表达式的目标类型。通常,在可能的情况下用通配符替换显式类型参数是个好主意。这样做的副作用是 Java 7 处理通配符比处理泛型方法中的显式类型参数更容易。
