从c++到Java,一个显而易见的未回答的问题是为什么Java没有包含操作符重载?

复合物不是a b c吗?A = b + c;比复合物a, b, c简单得多;A = b.add(c);?

是否有一个已知的原因,不允许操作符重载的有效参数?理由是随意的,还是被时间消磨了?

Saying that operator overloading leads to logical errors of type that operator does not match the operation logic, it's like saying nothing. The same type of error will occur if function name is inappropriate for operation logic - so what's the solution: drop the ability of function usage!? This is a comical answer - "Inappropriate for operation logic", every parameter name, every class, function or whatever can be logicly inappropriate. I think that this option should be available in respectable programing language, and those that think that it's unsafe - hey no bothy says you have to use it. Lets take the C#. They drooped the pointers but hey - there is 'unsafe code' statement - program as you like on your own risk.

你可能真的会搬起石头砸自己的脚。这就像指针一样,人们会犯愚蠢的错误,所以我们决定把剪刀拿走。

至少我认为这是原因。 反正我是站在你这边的。:)

看看Boost吧。单位:链接文字

它通过操作符重载提供零开销的维数分析。这一点还能清楚多少呢?

quantity<force>     F = 2.0*newton;
quantity<length>    dx = 2.0*meter;
quantity<energy>    E = F * dx;
std::cout << "Energy = " << E << endl;

实际上会输出“Energy = 4 J”,这是正确的。

James Gosling把设计Java比作:

"There's this principle about moving, when you move from one apartment to another apartment. An interesting experiment is to pack up your apartment and put everything in boxes, then move into the next apartment and not unpack anything until you need it. So you're making your first meal, and you're pulling something out of a box. Then after a month or so you've used that to pretty much figure out what things in your life you actually need, and then you take the rest of the stuff -- forget how much you like it or how cool it is -- and you just throw it away. It's amazing how that simplifies your life, and you can use that principle in all kinds of design issues: not do things just because they're cool or just because they're interesting."

基本上,运算符重载对于对点、货币或复数建模的类非常有用。但在那之后你很快就会用光例子。

另一个因素是开发人员在c++中滥用了这个特性,重载了'&&'、'||'、强制转换操作符,当然还有'new'。将此与传递值和异常相结合所产生的复杂性在《例外c++》一书中有详细介绍。

有人说Java中的操作符重载会导致混淆。这些人是否曾经停下来查看一些Java代码进行一些基本的数学运算,比如使用BigDecimal将财务值按百分比增加?.... 这种做法的冗长本身就证明了混淆视听。具有讽刺意味的是,向Java中添加运算符重载将允许我们创建自己的Currency类,这将使此类数学代码优雅而简单(不那么混乱)。

我认为这可能是一个有意识的设计选择,迫使开发人员创建的函数的名称清楚地表达了他们的意图。在c++中,开发人员会用与给定操作符的普遍接受性质无关的功能重载操作符,这使得不查看操作符的定义几乎不可能确定一段代码的功能。
