Procedura: Definire un tipo generico tramite reflection emit

Articolo
03/30/2024

Questo articolo illustra come creare un tipo generico semplice con due parametri di tipo, come applicare vincoli di classe, vincoli di interfaccia e vincoli speciali ai parametri di tipo e come creare membri che usano i parametri di tipo della classe come tipi di parametro e tipi restituiti.

Importante

Un metodo non può essere considerato generico solo perché appartiene a un tipo generico e ne usa i parametri di tipo. Per essere generico, un metodo deve avere un elenco specifico di parametri di tipo. La maggior parte dei metodi appartenenti a tipi generici non sono generici, come nell'esempio seguente. Per un esempio di creazione di un metodo generico, vedere Procedura: Definire un metodo generico tramite reflection emit.

Definire un tipo generico

Definire un assembly dinamico denominato GenericEmitExample1. In questo esempio poiché l'assembly viene eseguito e salvato su disco, viene specificato 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)

Definire un modulo dinamico. Un assembly è composto da moduli eseguibili. Per un assembly a modulo singolo, il nome del modulo è lo stesso dell'assembly e il nome del file corrisponde a quello del modulo seguito da un'estensione.

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")

Definire una classe . In questo esempio la classe è denominata 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)

Definire i parametri di tipo generico di Sample passando una matrice di stringhe contenenti i nomi dei parametri al metodo TypeBuilder.DefineGenericParameters. In questo modo la classe diventa un tipo generico. Il valore restituito è una matrice di oggetti GenericTypeParameterBuilder che rappresentano i parametri di tipo e che possono essere usati nel codice creato.

Nel codice seguente Sample diventa un tipo generico con parametri di tipo TFirst e TSecond. Per migliorare la leggibilità del codice, ogni oggetto GenericTypeParameterBuilder viene inserito in una variabile che ha lo stesso nome del parametro di tipo.

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)

Aggiungere vincoli speciali ai parametri di tipo. In questo esempio il parametro di tipo TFirst è vincolato a tipi con costruttori senza parametri e a tipi di riferimento.

TFirst->SetGenericParameterAttributes( 
    GenericParameterAttributes::DefaultConstructorConstraint | 
    GenericParameterAttributes::ReferenceTypeConstraint 
);

TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes(
    GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint |
    GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint);

TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes( _
    GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint _
    Or GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint)

Facoltativamente, aggiungere vincoli di interfaccia e di classe ai parametri di tipo. In questo esempio il parametro di tipo TFirst è vincolato a tipi che derivano dalla classe di base rappresentata dall'oggetto Type contenuto nella variabile baseType e che implementano le interfacce i cui tipi sono contenuti nelle variabili interfaceA e interfaceB. Per la dichiarazione e l'assegnazione di queste variabili, vedere l'esempio di codice.

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)

Definire un campo. In questo esempio il tipo del campo è specificato dal parametro di tipo TFirst. Poiché GenericTypeParameterBuilder deriva da Type, è possibile usare parametri di tipo generico ovunque sia consentito l'uso di un tipo.

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)

Definire un metodo che usa i parametri di tipo del tipo generico. Si noti che questi tipi di metodi non sono generici, a meno che non abbiano specifici elenchi di parametri di tipo. Il codice seguente definisce un metodo static (Shared in Visual Basic) che accetta una matrice di TFirst e restituisce List<TFirst> (List(Of TFirst) in Visual Basic) contenente tutti gli elementi della matrice. Per definire questo metodo, è necessario creare il tipo List<TFirst> chiamando MakeGenericType nella definizione di tipo generico List<T>. Quando si usa l'operatore typeof (GetType in Visual Basic), T viene omesso in modo da ottenere la definizione di tipo generico. Il tipo di parametro viene creato usando il metodo MakeArrayType.

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)

Creare il corpo del metodo. Il corpo del metodo è costituito da tre codici operativi che caricano la matrice di input nello stack, chiamano il costruttore List<TFirst> che accetta IEnumerable<TFirst>, che esegue tutte le operazioni necessarie per l'inserimento degli elementi di input nell'elenco, e terminano lasciando il nuovo oggetto List<T> nello stack. Nella creazione di questo codice la difficoltà principale è rappresentata dal recupero del costruttore.

Poiché il metodo GetConstructor non è supportato in GenericTypeParameterBuilder, non è possibile ottenere il costruttore di List<TFirst> in modo diretto. È innanzitutto necessario ottenere il costruttore della definizione di tipo generico List<T>, quindi chiamare un metodo che lo converta nel costruttore corrispondente di List<TFirst>.

Il costruttore usato per questo esempio di codice accetta IEnumerable<T>. Si noti tuttavia che, non trattandosi della definizione di tipo generico dell'interfaccia generica IEnumerable<T>, è necessario sostituire il parametro di tipo T di List<T> per il parametro di tipo T di IEnumerable<T>. Questo sembra confondere solo perché entrambi i tipi hanno parametri di tipo denominati T. Ecco perché questo esempio di codice usa i nomi TFirst e TSecond.) Per ottenere il tipo dell'argomento del costruttore, iniziare con la definizione IEnumerable<T> del tipo generico e chiamare MakeGenericType con il primo parametro di tipo generico di List<T>. L'elenco di argomenti del costruttore deve essere passato come matrice che, in questo caso, contiene un unico argomento.

Nota

La definizione di tipo generico è espressa come IEnumerable<> quando viene usato l'operatore typeof in C# oppure come IEnumerable(Of ) quando viene usato l'operatore GetType in Visual Basic.

A questo punto è possibile ottenere il costruttore di List<T> chiamando GetConstructor nella definizione di tipo generico. Per convertire questo costruttore nel costruttore corrispondente di List<TFirst>, passare List<TFirst> e il costruttore da List<T> al metodo statico TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(Type, ConstructorInfo).
```
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)
```

Creare il tipo e salvare il file.

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")

Richiamare il metodo. ExampleMethod non è generico, ma il tipo a cui appartiene è generico, quindi per ottenere un MethodInfo oggetto che può essere richiamato, è necessario creare un tipo costruito dalla definizione del tipo per Sample. Il tipo costruito usa la classe Example che, essendo un tipo di riferimento e disponendo di un costruttore senza parametri predefinito, soddisfa i vincoli di TFirst e la classe ExampleDerived che soddisfa i vincoli di TSecond. Il codice per ExampleDerived è disponibile nella sezione del codice di esempio. Questi due tipi vengono passati a MakeGenericType per creare il tipo costruito. MethodInfo viene quindi ottenuto usando il metodo GetMethod.
```
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")
```

Il codice seguente crea una matrice di oggetti Example, inserisce la matrice in una matrice di tipo Object che rappresenta gli argomenti del metodo da richiamare e le passa al metodo Invoke(Object, Object[]). Il primo argomento del metodo Invoke è un riferimento Null perché il metodo è 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 _
)

Esempio

L'esempio di codice seguente definisce una classe denominata Sample insieme a una classe di base e a due interfacce. Il programma definisce due parametri di tipo generico per la classe Sample, trasformandola in un tipo generico. I parametri di tipo sono gli unici elementi in grado di rendere generico un tipo. Il programma segnala questa trasformazione visualizzando un messaggio di prova sia prima che dopo la definizione dei parametri di tipo.

Il parametro di tipo TSecond viene usato per dimostrare i vincoli di interfaccia e di classe tramite le interfacce e la classe di base, mentre il parametro di tipo TFirst viene usato per dimostrare i vincoli speciali.

L'esempio di codice definisce un campo e un metodo usando i parametri di tipo della classe per il tipo di campo e per il parametro e il tipo restituito del metodo.

Dopo aver creato la classe Sample, viene richiamato il metodo.

Il programma include un metodo che visualizza informazioni su un tipo generico e un metodo che visualizza i vincoli speciali in un parametro di tipo. Questi metodi vengono usati per visualizzare informazioni sulla classe Sample completata.

Il programma salva il modulo completato su disco come GenericEmitExample1.dll, in modo da poterlo aprire con il Ildasm.exe (Disassembler IL) ed esaminare il CIL per la Sample classe .

   // calling a method that converts it to the corresponding 
   // constructor of List<TFirst>.

   // The constructor needed here is the one that takes an

   // the type of the constructor argument, take the generic
   // type definition generic<T> IEnumerable and 
   // call MakeGenericType with the first generic type parameter
   // of generic<T> List. The constructor argument list must be passed
