例程可以有参数,这不是新闻。您可以根据需要定义任意多的参数,但是过多的参数会使您的例程难以理解和维护。

当然,您可以使用结构化变量作为解决方法:将所有这些变量放在单个结构中并将其传递给例程。事实上,使用结构来简化参数列表是Steve McConnell在Code Complete中描述的技术之一。但正如他所说:

谨慎的程序员避免将数据捆绑在一起,除非逻辑上是必要的。

因此,如果你的例程有太多的参数,或者你使用一个结构体来掩盖一个大的参数列表,你可能做错了什么。也就是说,你没有保持耦合松散。

我的问题是,什么时候我可以认为一个参数列表太大?我认为5个以上的参数太多了。你怎么看?

A length restriction on a parameter list is just one more restriction. And restriction means applied violence. It sounds funny, but you can be non-violent even when programming. Just let the code dictate the rules. It is obvious that if you have many parameters, the body of the function/class method will be big enough to make use of them. And big code snippets usually can be refactored and split into smaller chunks. So you get solution against having many parameters as free bonus, since they are split among the smaller refactored pieces of code.

根据Steve McConnell在Code Complete中的说法,你应该这样做

限制一个程序的数量 参数约为7

对于我来说,当列表在我的IDE上超过一行时,那么它就是一个参数太多了。我想在一行中看到所有的参数,而不中断眼神交流。但这只是我个人的偏好。

我自己把公共函数的极限画在5个参数上。

恕我直言,长参数列表只适用于私有/本地helper函数,这些函数只能从代码中的几个特定位置调用。在这些情况下,您可能需要传递大量的状态信息,但可读性并不是一个大问题,因为只有您(或维护您的代码并应该了解模块基础的人)必须关心调用该函数。

如果我在一个例程中有7-10个参数,我会考虑将它们捆绑到一个新类中,但如果这个类只是一堆带有getter和setter的字段,那么这个新类必须做一些其他的事情,而不是将值移进和移出。否则,我宁愿忍受很长的参数列表。
