Erasure of Generic Methods

Java编译器也会擦除泛型函数传参中的类型参数,以下面的泛型函数为例:

// Counts the number of occurrences of elem in anArray.
//
public static <T> int count(T[] anArray, T elem) {
    int cnt = 0;
    for (T e : anArray)
        if (e.equals(elem))
            ++cnt;
        return cnt;
}

T是无边界的,所以Java编译器将它替换为Object

public static int count(Object[] anArray, Object elem) {
    int cnt = 0;
    for (Object e : anArray)
        if (e.equals(elem))
            ++cnt;
        return cnt;
}

假设有如下几个类的定义:

class Shape { /* ... */ }
class Circle extends Shape { /* ... */ }
class Rectangle extends Shape { /* ... */ }

我们可以编译一个通用的函数来画不同的形状:

public static <T extends Shape> void draw(T shape) { /* ... */ }

Java编译器会将T替换为Shape

public static void draw(Shape shape) { /* ... */ }
