java不支持类型,为什么Java泛型不支持原始类型？

Why do generics in Java work with classes but not with primitive types?

For example, this works fine:

List foo = new ArrayList();

but this is not allowed:

List bar = new ArrayList();

解决方案

Generics in Java are an entirely compile-time construct - the compiler turns all generic uses into casts to the right type. This is to maintain backwards compatibility with previous JVM runtimes.

This:

List list = new ArrayList();

list.add(new ClassA());

ClassA a = list.get(0);

gets turned into (roughly):

List list = new ArrayList();

list.add(new ClassA());

ClassA a = (ClassA)list.get(0);

So, anything that is used as generics has to be convertable to Object (in this example get(0) returns an Object), and the primitive types aren't. So they can't be used in generics.
