自 iOS 14.5 以来可用的新 `filter(_:)` 数组方法是什么？

Question

有一个文档：https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/array/3392999-filter

主要问题是这种新方法与旧的filter(_:)序列方法（https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/sequence/3018365-filter）有什么区别？

为什么我们需要一个新的？

Answer 1

没有区别。特化 Array.filter 只是调用 Sequence.filter 默认实现。

之所以有这个专业是技术性的，解释可以在https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/9741/commits/fd2ac31c6e8a6c18da0b40bfe1c93407b076e463:

中找到

[stdlib] Adding RangeReplaceable.filter returning Self

This overload allows String.filter to return a String, and not [Character].

In the other hand, introduction of this overload makes [123].filter somewhat ambiguous in a sence, that the compiler will now prefer an implementatin from a more concrete protocol, which is less efficient for arrays, therefore extra work is needed to make sure Array types fallback to the Sequence.filter.

后来，数组方法作为 _ArrayProtocol 的一部分移至 ArrayType.swift，其中“数组类型”Array、ArraySlice 和 ContiguousArray 符合：

extension _ArrayProtocol {
  // Since RangeReplaceableCollection now has a version of filter that is less
  // efficient, we should make the default implementation coming from Sequence
  // preferred.
  @inlinable
  public __consuming func filter(
    _ isIncluded: (Element) throws -> Bool
  ) rethrows -> [Element] {
    return try _filter(isIncluded)
  }
}
