由于官网的例子很全面,因此这里直接套用Kotlin官网的例子:
open class D {
}
class D1 : D() {
}
open class C {
open fun D.foo() {
println("D.foo in C")
}
open fun D1.foo() {
println("D1.foo in C")
}
fun caller(d: D) {
d.foo() // call the extension function
}
}
class C1 : C() {
override fun D.foo() {
println("D.foo in C1")
}
override fun D1.foo() {
println("D1.foo in C1")
}
}
C().caller(D()) // prints "D.foo in C"
C1().caller(D()) // prints "D.foo in C1" - dispatch receiver is resolved virtually
C().caller(D1()) // prints "D.foo in C" - extension receiver is resolved statically
例子很简单,无非就是Extension的声明和如何调用Extension方法(注意:这里调用Members' Extension 通过了实例方法的转接,可以跟Kotlin Extension - Method中提到的无法在.kt文件中从实例或者外界直接拿到Extension方法引用联系起来)
这里Kotlin定义了两个重要的概念:
dispatch receiver: 指的便是例子中执行caller() 方法的C或者C1实例对象
extension receiver: 指的便是例子中caller() 方法定义中执行Extension方法foo() 的对象
接下来看看三个例子给我们揭示的一些重要现象
1. C().caller(D1())
很明显,我们这里往caller()方法里面传的是extension receiver类型是D1,但是为何最后调用的是父类D的Extension方法呢?
通过反编译生成的.class文件我们找到的原因所在
//C.class
...
public final void caller(com.maxtropy.viewtest.D);
Code:
0: aload_1
1: ldc #39 // String d
3: invokestatic #15 // Method kotlin/jvm/internal/Intrinsics.checkParameterIsNotNull:(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/String;)V
6: aload_0
7: aload_1
8: invokevirtual #41 // Method foo:(Lcom/maxtropy/viewtest/D;)V
11: return
...
//.class where C().caller(D1()) was executed
...
32: invokespecial #20 // Method com/maxtropy/viewtest/C."<init>":()V
35: new #29 // class com/maxtropy/viewtest/D1
38: dup
39: invokespecial #30 // Method com/maxtropy/viewtest/D1."<init>":()V
42: checkcast #22 // class com/maxtropy/viewtest/D
45: invokevirtual #27 // Method com/maxtropy/viewtest/C.caller:(Lcom/maxtropy/viewtest/D;)V
...
在caller()的入参中,d的参数类型是D,因此在调用caller()时,入参实例的类型就已经被上转型成D了。
2. C1().caller(D())
程序执行的结果很明显的告诉我们这是动态选择的结果,执行的是C1中的Extension方法,而不是父类C中的Extension方法。
哇!在 top-level Extension反编译的例子中很明显的看到Extension方法被编译成了静态方法,这里怎么又跟动态选择有关了呢???
同样施以反编译的魔法:

public void foo(com.maxtropy.viewtest.D);

8: astore_2
9: getstatic #23 // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
12: aload_2
13: invokevirtual #29 // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(Ljava/lang/Object;)V

1: invokespecial #45 // Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V
4: return
}
//C1.class

}
原来声明在Member中的Extension方法全部被编译成了Member所在类型的实例方法!
这实例方法有什么用呢?(再次重复这些实例方法在写.kt时无法通过实例直接拿到引用,也就c.foo()是不能通过编译的)
玄妙便在call()方法的第6、行, 第6行的aload_0指的便是this, 也即是caller()被执行时真正的实例对象dispatch receiver。正是this,让Extension方法具备了动态选择的能力。
