java类型擦除

java泛型最常用的场景应该是容器类。java的泛型是伪泛型，是编译期泛型，编译的时候会进行类型检查，生成字节码的时候会进行类型擦除。
在get后会进行强制类型转换。这个是在字节码里做的操作。

写了个简单的测试代码：

[java] view plain copy

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList list=new ArrayList();
list.add(new Date());
Date myDate=list.get(0);
}

然后反编了下字节码，如下
[java] view plain copy

public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
Code:
0: new #16 // class java/util/ArrayList
3: dup
4: invokespecial #18 // Method java/util/ArrayList."
7: astore_1
8: aload_1
9: new #19 // class java/util/Date
12: dup
13: invokespecial #21 // Method java/util/Date.""

16: invokevirtual #22 // Method java/util/ArrayList.add:(L
va/lang/Object;)
19: pop
20: aload_1
21: iconst_0
22: invokevirtual #26 // Method java/util/ArrayList.get:(I
java/lang/Object;
25: checkcast #19 // class java/util/Date
28: astore_2
29: return

附关于checkcast的解释：
checkcast checks that the top item on the operand stack (a reference to an object or array) can be cast to a given type. For example, if you write in Java:

return ((String)obj);

then the Java compiler will generate something like:

aload_1 ; push -obj- onto the stack
checkcast java/lang/String ; check its a String
areturn ; return it

checkcast is actually a shortand for writing Java code like:

if (! (obj == null || obj instanceof )) {
throw new ClassCastException();
}
// if this point is reached, then object is either null, or an instance of
// or one of its superclasses.

不能用类型参数替换基本类型。就比如，没有ArrayList，只有ArrayList。因为当类型擦除后，ArrayList的原始类型变为Object，但是Object类型不能存储double值，只能引用Double的值。
