java中的捕获是什么,什么是Java中的捕获转换，谁能给我举例？

I've noticed JLS talks of 5.1.10 Capture Conversion, but I fail to understand what they are.

Can anyone explain them to me/give examples?

解决方案

Capture conversion was designed to make wildcards (in generics), ? useful.

Suppose we have the following class:

public interface Test {

public void shout(T whatever);

public T repeatPreviousShout();

}

and somewhere on our code we have,

public static void instantTest(Test> test) {

System.out.println(test.repeatPreviousShout());

}

Because test is not a raw Test and since repeatPreviousShout() in "hindsight" returns a ?, the compiler knows that there's a T that serves as a type parameter for Test.

This T is for some unknown T so the compiler erases the unknown type (for wildcard, it replaces with Object)., hence repeatPreviousShout() returns an Object.

But if we had,

public static void instantTest2(Test> test) {

test.shout(test.repeatPreviousShout());

}

The compiler would give us an error of something like Test cannot be applied (where xxx is a number, e.g. 337).

This is because the compiler tries to do the type safety check on shout() but since it received a wildcard, it doesn't know what T represents, hence it creates a placeholder called capture of.

Capture conversion is what allows the

compiler to manufacture a placeholder

type name for the captured wildcard,

so that type inference can infer it to

be that type.

Hope this helps you.
