TypeToken源码阅读

protected TypeToken() {
    this.type = getSuperclassTypeParameter(getClass());
    //获取到泛型类的类型
    this.rawType = (Class<? super T>) $Gson$Types.getRawType(type);
    this.hashCode = type.hashCode();
  }


  /**
   * Returns the type from super class's type parameter in {@link $Gson$Types#canonicalize
   * canonical form}.
   */
  static Type getSuperclassTypeParameter(Class<?> subclass) {
    Type superclass = subclass.getGenericSuperclass();
    //如果泛型没有相应的类型，那么抛出异常
    if (superclass instanceof Class) {
      throw new RuntimeException("Missing type parameter.");
    }
    ParameterizedType parameterized = (ParameterizedType) superclass;
    return $Gson$Types.canonicalize(parameterized.getActualTypeArguments()[0]);
  }


/**
     * Returns the {@code Type} that represents the superclass of this {@code
     * class}.
     */
    public Type getGenericSuperclass() {
        Type genericSuperclass = getSuperclass();
        // This method is specified to return null for all cases where getSuperclass
        // returns null, i.e, for primitives, interfaces, void and java.lang.Object.
        if (genericSuperclass == null) {
            return null;
        }

        String annotationSignature = AnnotationAccess.getSignature(this);
        if (annotationSignature != null) {
            GenericSignatureParser parser = new GenericSignatureParser(getClassLoader());
            parser.parseForClass(this, annotationSignature);
            genericSuperclass = parser.superclassType;
        }
        return Types.getType(genericSuperclass);
    }

    该函数的具体作用可以参考stackoverflow中的泛型存储举例
