Go语言的创造者写道:

Go doesn't provide assertions. They are undeniably convenient, but our experience has been that programmers use them as a crutch to avoid thinking about proper error handling and reporting. Proper error handling means that servers continue operation after non-fatal errors instead of crashing. Proper error reporting means that errors are direct and to the point, saving the programmer from interpreting a large crash trace. Precise errors are particularly important when the programmer seeing the errors is not familiar with the code.

你对此有什么看法?


当前回答

我承认使用了断言,但没有考虑适当的错误报告。然而,这并不意味着它们在正确使用时是非常有用的。

They are especially useful for if you want to follow the "Crash Early" principle. For example suppose you're implementing a reference counting mechanism. At certain locations in your code you know that the refcount should be zero or one. And also suppose that if the refcount is wrong the program won't crash immediately but during the next message loop at which point it will be difficult to find out why things went wrong. An assert would have been helpful in detecting the error closer to its origin.

其他回答

我很喜欢用断言。我发现当我第一次构建应用程序(可能是一个新的领域)时,它非常有用。我没有做非常花哨的错误检查(我认为是不成熟的优化),而是快速编码,并添加了大量断言。在我了解了更多事情的工作原理后,我重新编写并删除了一些断言并更改它们以更好地处理错误。

因为断言,我花更少的时间编码/调试程序。

我还注意到,断言可以帮助我想到许多可能破坏程序的东西。

简短的回答:不,我相信断言可能有用

不,去做和断言都不是坏事。但两者都可能被误用。

Assert用于完整性检查。如果它们不正确,就会杀死程序。不是为了验证或替换错误处理。

按照这种逻辑,断点也是邪恶的。

断言应该用作调试辅助,而不是其他。“邪恶”是当你试图使用它们而不是错误处理时。

断言的存在是为了帮助程序员检测和修复不可能存在的问题,并验证您的假设是否正确。

它们与错误处理无关,但不幸的是,一些程序员滥用它们,然后宣称它们是“邪恶的”。
