你问为什么，其他的答案，在我看来，并没有真正说为什么它是可以调用你的超级构造函数，但只有当它是第一行。原因是您并没有真正调用构造函数。在c++中，等价的语法是

MySubClass: MyClass {

public:

 MySubClass(int a, int b): MyClass(a+b)
 {
 }

};

When you see the initializer clause on its own like that, before the open brace, you know it's special. It runs before any of the rest of the constructor runs and in fact before any of the member variables are initialized. It's not that different for Java. There's a way to get some code (other constructors) to run before the constructor really starts, before any members of the subclass are initialized. And that way is to put the "call" (eg super) on the very first line. (In a way, that super or this is kind of before the first open brace, even though you type it after, because it will be executed before you get to the point that everything is fully constructed.) Any other code after the open brace (like int c = a + b;) makes the compiler say "oh, ok, no other constructors, we can initialize everything then." So it runs off and initializes your super class and your members and whatnot and then starts executing the code after the open brace.

如果几行之后，它遇到一些代码说“哦，是的，当你构造这个对象时，这是我想让你传递给基类构造函数的参数”，那就太晚了，这没有任何意义。所以你会得到一个编译器错误。

在调用子对象的构造函数之前，可以使用匿名初始化块初始化子对象中的字段。这个例子将演示:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Child();
    }
}

class Parent {
    public Parent() {
        System.out.println("In parent");
    }
}

class Child extends Parent {

    {
        System.out.println("In initializer");
    }

    public Child() {
        super();
        System.out.println("In child");
    }
}

这将输出:

在父 在初始化 在儿童

构造函数按照的顺序完成执行是有意义的 推导。因为父类不知道任何子类，任何 它需要执行的初始化与可能的初始化是分开的 子类执行任何初始化的先决条件。 因此，它必须首先完成它的执行。

一个简单的演示:

class A {
    A() {
        System.out.println("Inside A's constructor.");
    }
}

class B extends A {
    B() {
        System.out.println("Inside B's constructor.");
    }
}

class C extends B {
    C() {
        System.out.println("Inside C's constructor.");
    }
}

class CallingCons {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        C c = new C();
    }
}

这个程序的输出是:

Inside A's constructor
Inside B's constructor
Inside C's constructor

我已经通过链接构造函数和静态方法找到了解决这个问题的方法。我想做的是这样的:

public class Foo extends Baz {
  private final Bar myBar;

  public Foo(String arg1, String arg2) {
    // ...
    // ... Some other stuff needed to construct a 'Bar'...
    // ...
    final Bar b = new Bar(arg1, arg2);
    super(b.baz()):
    myBar = b;
  }
}

基本上是根据构造函数的形参构造一个对象，将对象存储在成员中，并将该对象的方法的结果传递到super的构造函数中。使成员为final也是相当重要的，因为类的性质是不可变的。注意，构造Bar实际上需要一些中间对象，因此在我的实际用例中，它不能简化为一行程序。

我最终做出了这样的工作:

public class Foo extends Baz {
  private final Bar myBar;

  private static Bar makeBar(String arg1,  String arg2) {
    // My more complicated setup routine to actually make 'Bar' goes here...
    return new Bar(arg1, arg2);
  }

  public Foo(String arg1, String arg2) {
    this(makeBar(arg1, arg2));
  }

  private Foo(Bar bar) {
    super(bar.baz());
    myBar = bar;
  }
}

合法的代码，它完成了在调用超级构造函数之前执行多条语句的任务。

你能给出一个代码例子，如果编译器没有这个限制，就会发生不好的事情吗?

class Good {
    int essential1;
    int essential2;

    Good(int n) {
        if (n > 100)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("n is too large!");
        essential1 = 1 / n;
        essential2 = n + 2;
    }
}

class Bad extends Good {
    Bad(int n) {
        try {
            super(n);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Exception is ignored
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Bad b = new Bad(0);
//        b = new Bad(101);
        System.out.println(b.essential1 + b.essential2);
    }
}

An exception during construction almost always indicates that the object being constructed could not be properly initialized, now is in a bad state, unusable, and must be garbage collected. However, a constructor of a subclass has got the ability to ignore an exception occurred in one of its superclasses and to return a partially initialized object. In the above example, if the argument given to new Bad() is either 0 or greater than 100, then neither essential1 nor essential2 are properly initialized.

你可能会说忽略异常总是一个坏主意。好的，这里还有一个例子:

class Bad extends Good {
    Bad(int n) {
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
            super(i);
    }
}

很有趣，不是吗?在这个例子中我们创建了多少个对象?一个?两个?或者什么都没有……

允许在构造函数中间调用super()或this()将打开一个令人讨厌的构造函数的潘多拉盒子。

另一方面，我理解在调用super()或this()之前经常需要包含一些静态部分。这可能是任何不依赖于此引用的代码(实际上，它已经存在于构造函数的最开始，但在super()或This()返回之前不能有序使用)，并且需要进行这样的调用。此外，像在任何方法中一样，在调用super()或this()之前创建的一些局部变量可能会在调用super()或this()之后被需要。

在这种情况下，你有以下机会:

Use the pattern presented at this answer, which allows to circumvent the restriction. Wait for the Java team to allow pre-super() and pre-this() code. It may be done by imposing a restriction on where super() or this() may occur in a constructor. Actually, even today's compiler is able to distinguish good and bad (or potentially bad) cases with the degree enough to securely allow static code addition at the beginning of a constructor. Indeed, assume that super() and this() return this reference and, in turn, your constructor has

return this;

最后。以及编译器拒绝代码

public int get() {
    int x;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        x = i;
    return x;
}

public int get(int y) {
    int x;
    if (y > 0)
        x = y;
    return x;
}

public int get(boolean b) {
    int x;
    try {
        x = 1;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
    return x;
}

with the error "variable x might not have been initialized", it could do so on this variable, making its checks on it just like on any other local variable. The only difference is this cannot be assigned by any means other than super() or this() call (and, as usual, if there is no such call at a constructor, super() is implicitly inserted by compiler in the beginning) and might not be assigned twice. In case of any doubt (like in the first get(), where x is actually always assigned), the compiler could return an error. That would be better than simply return error on any constructor where there is something except a comment before super() or this().

因此，它不会阻止您在调用之前执行逻辑 超级。它只是阻止你执行你无法适应的逻辑 变成一个表达式。

实际上，你可以用几个表达式执行逻辑，你只需要把你的代码包装在一个静态函数中，然后在超级语句中调用它。

举个例子:

public class MySubClassC extends MyClass {
    public MySubClassC(Object item) {
        // Create a list that contains the item, and pass the list to super
        super(createList(item));  // OK
    }

    private static List createList(item) {
        List list = new ArrayList();
        list.add(item);
        return list;
    }
}
