为什么不可能重写静态方法?

如果可能,请举例说明。


当前回答

方法重写可以通过动态调度实现,这意味着对象的声明类型不决定其行为,而是决定其运行时类型:

Animal lassie = new Dog();
lassie.speak(); // outputs "woof!"
Animal kermit = new Frog();
kermit.speak(); // outputs "ribbit!"

尽管lassie和kermit都声明为Animal类型的对象,但它们的行为(method .speak())会有所不同,因为动态调度只会在运行时将方法调用.speak()绑定到实现,而不是在编译时。

现在,这里是静态关键字开始有意义的地方:单词“静态”是“动态”的反义词。所以你不能重写静态方法的原因是因为静态成员上没有动态分派——因为静态字面上的意思是“非动态的”。如果它们是动态分派的(因此可以被重写),静态关键字就没有意义了。

在Java(和许多面向对象语言,但我不能说所有;所有的方法都有一个固定的签名——参数和类型。在虚方法中,第一个参数是隐含的:对对象本身的引用,当从对象内部调用时,编译器会自动添加这个参数。

静态方法没有区别——它们仍然有固定的签名。然而,通过将方法声明为静态,您已经显式地声明了编译器不能在该签名的开头包含隐含的对象形参。因此,任何其他调用此方法的代码都不能试图将对象引用放到堆栈上。如果它确实这样做了,那么方法执行将无法工作,因为参数将在堆栈上的错误位置—移位1。

由于两者之间的差异;虚方法总是有一个上下文对象的引用(即this),这样就可以引用堆中属于该对象实例的任何东西。但是对于静态方法,由于没有传递引用,该方法不能访问任何对象变量和方法,因为上下文是未知的。

如果您希望Java更改定义,以便为每个方法(静态方法或虚拟方法)传递对象上下文,那么实际上您将只有虚拟方法。

就像有人在评论中问的那样——你想要这个功能的原因和目的是什么?

I do not know Ruby much, as this was mentioned by the OP, I did some research. I see that in Ruby classes are really a special kind of object and one can create (even dynamically) new methods. Classes are full class objects in Ruby, they are not in Java. This is just something you will have to accept when working with Java (or C#). These are not dynamic languages, though C# is adding some forms of dynamic. In reality, Ruby does not have "static" methods as far as I could find - in that case these are methods on the singleton class object. You can then override this singleton with a new class and the methods in the previous class object will call those defined in the new class (correct?). So if you called a method in the context of the original class it still would only execute the original statics, but calling a method in the derived class, would call methods either from the parent or sub-class. Interesting and I can see some value in that. It takes a different thought pattern.

由于您正在使用Java工作,您将需要适应这种做事方式。他们为什么这么做?好吧,可能是为了提高当时的性能基于现有的技术和理解。计算机语言在不断发展。回顾过去,并没有OOP这种东西。在未来,还会有其他新的想法。

EDIT: One other comment. Now that I see the differences and as I Java/C# developer myself, I can understand why the answers you get from Java developers may be confusing if you are coming from a language like Ruby. Java static methods are not the same as Ruby class methods. Java developers will have a hard time understanding this, as will conversely those who work mostly with a language like Ruby/Smalltalk. I can see how this would also be greatly confusing by the fact that Java also uses "class method" as another way to talk about static methods but this same term is used differently by Ruby. Java does not have Ruby style class methods (sorry); Ruby does not have Java style static methods which are really just old procedural style functions, as found in C.

顺便说一下,谢谢你的问题!今天我学到了一些关于类方法的新知识(Ruby风格)。

其实我们错了。 尽管Java默认情况下不允许重写静态方法,但如果你彻底查看Java中Class和Method类的文档,你仍然可以通过以下工作方法来模拟静态方法重写:

import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

class RegularEmployee {

    private BigDecimal salary = BigDecimal.ONE;

    public void setSalary(BigDecimal salary) {
        this.salary = salary;
    }
    public static BigDecimal getBonusMultiplier() {
        return new BigDecimal(".02");
    }
    public BigDecimal calculateBonus() {
        return salary.multiply(this.getBonusMultiplier());
    }
    public BigDecimal calculateOverridenBonus() {
        try {
            // System.out.println(this.getClass().getDeclaredMethod(
            // "getBonusMultiplier").toString());
            try {
                return salary.multiply((BigDecimal) this.getClass()
                    .getDeclaredMethod("getBonusMultiplier").invoke(this));
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SecurityException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
    // ... presumably lots of other code ...
}

final class SpecialEmployee extends RegularEmployee {

    public static BigDecimal getBonusMultiplier() {
        return new BigDecimal(".03");
    }
}

public class StaticTestCoolMain {

    static public void main(String[] args) {
        RegularEmployee Alan = new RegularEmployee();
        System.out.println(Alan.calculateBonus());
        System.out.println(Alan.calculateOverridenBonus());
        SpecialEmployee Bob = new SpecialEmployee();
        System.out.println(Bob.calculateBonus());
        System.out.println(Bob.calculateOverridenBonus());
    }
}

输出结果:

0.02
0.02
0.02
0.03

我们想要达到的目标:)

即使我们将第三个变量Carl声明为regulareemployee并给它分配了SpecialEmployee实例,我们仍然会在第一种情况下调用regulareemployee方法,在第二种情况下调用SpecialEmployee方法

RegularEmployee Carl = new SpecialEmployee();

System.out.println(Carl.calculateBonus());
System.out.println(Carl.calculateOverridenBonus());

看看输出控制台:

0.02
0.03

;)

Well... the answer is NO if you think from the perspective of how an overriden method should behave in Java. But, you don't get any compiler error if you try to override a static method. That means, if you try to override, Java doesn't stop you doing that; but you certainly don't get the same effect as you get for non-static methods. Overriding in Java simply means that the particular method would be called based on the run time type of the object and not on the compile time type of it (which is the case with overriden static methods). Okay... any guesses for the reason why do they behave strangely? Because they are class methods and hence access to them is always resolved during compile time only using the compile time type information. Accessing them using object references is just an extra liberty given by the designers of Java and we should certainly not think of stopping that practice only when they restrict it :-)

示例:让我们试着看看如果我们尝试重写一个静态方法会发生什么:-

class SuperClass {
// ......
public static void staticMethod() {
    System.out.println("SuperClass: inside staticMethod");
}
// ......
}

public class SubClass extends SuperClass {
// ......
// overriding the static method
public static void staticMethod() {
    System.out.println("SubClass: inside staticMethod");
}

// ......
public static void main(String[] args) {
    // ......
    SuperClass superClassWithSuperCons = new SuperClass();
    SuperClass superClassWithSubCons = new SubClass();
    SubClass subClassWithSubCons = new SubClass();

    superClassWithSuperCons.staticMethod();
    superClassWithSubCons.staticMethod();
    subClassWithSubCons.staticMethod();
    // ...
}
}

输出: SuperClass:在staticMethod内部 SuperClass:在staticMethod内部 子类:staticMethod内部

注意输出的第二行。如果staticMethod被重写,这一行应该与第三行相同,因为我们在运行时类型的对象上调用'staticMethod()'作为'子类'而不是'超类'。这证实了静态方法总是只使用它们的编译时类型信息进行解析。

静态方法、变量、块或嵌套类属于整个类而不是对象。

Java中的方法用于公开对象/类的行为。在这里,由于方法是静态的(即静态方法仅用于表示类的行为),改变/覆盖整个类的行为将违反面向对象编程的基本支柱之一,即高内聚。(记住构造函数在Java中是一种特殊的方法。)

高内聚性——一个类应该只有一个角色。例如:car类应该只生成汽车对象,而不生成自行车、卡车、飞机等。但是Car类可能有一些只属于它自己的特性(行为)。

因此,在设计java编程语言时。语言设计者认为,只有通过使方法本质上是静态的,才能允许开发人员保留类的某些行为。


下面的代码尝试覆盖静态方法,但不会遇到任何编译错误。

public class Vehicle {
static int VIN;

public static int getVehileNumber() {
    return VIN;
}}

class Car extends Vehicle {
static int carNumber;

public static int getVehileNumber() {
    return carNumber;
}}

这是因为,在这里我们没有重写一个方法,而只是重新声明它。Java允许重新声明一个方法(静态/非静态)。

从Car类的getVehileNumber()方法中删除静态关键字将导致编译错误,因为,我们正在尝试改变只属于Vehicle类的静态方法的功能。

此外,如果getVehileNumber()被声明为final,那么代码将无法编译,因为final关键字限制程序员重新声明方法。

public static final int getVehileNumber() {
return VIN;     }

总的来说,这取决于软件设计人员在哪里使用静态方法。 我个人更喜欢使用静态方法来执行某些操作,而不需要创建类的任何实例。第二,对外界隐藏一个类的行为。

重写静态方法有什么好处呢?不能通过实例调用静态方法。

MyClass.static1()
MySubClass.static1()   // If you overrode, you have to call it through MySubClass anyway.

编辑:似乎由于语言设计中的一个不幸疏忽,您可以通过实例调用静态方法。一般没人会这么做。我的坏。
