我最初是一名Java程序员,现在使用Objective-C。我想创建一个抽象类,但这在Objective-C中似乎不可能。这可能吗?
如果不是,在Objective-C中,我能有多接近抽象类?

当前回答
只是重复了上面@Barry Wark的回答(并更新到iOS 4.3),并把这个留给我自己参考:
#define mustOverride() @throw [NSException exceptionWithName:NSInvalidArgumentException reason:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s must be overridden in a subclass/category", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__] userInfo:nil]
#define methodNotImplemented() mustOverride()
在你的方法中你可以使用这个
- (void) someMethod {
mustOverride(); // or methodNotImplemented(), same thing
}
注意:不确定是否使宏看起来像一个C函数是一个好主意,但我会保持它直到学校相反。我认为使用NSInvalidArgumentException(而不是NSInternalInconsistencyException)更正确,因为这是运行时系统在响应doesNotRecognizeSelector被调用时抛出的(参见NSObject文档)。
其他回答
与其尝试创建抽象基类,不如考虑使用协议(类似于Java接口)。这允许您定义一组方法,然后接受符合协议的所有对象并实现这些方法。例如,我可以定义一个操作协议,然后有一个这样的函数:
- (void)performOperation:(id<Operation>)op
{
// do something with operation
}
其中op可以是任何实现Operation协议的对象。
如果您需要抽象基类做的不仅仅是定义方法,那么您可以创建一个常规的Objective-C类并防止它被实例化。只需重写- (id)init函数,并使其返回nil或assert(false)。这不是一个非常干净的解决方案,但由于Objective-C是完全动态的,所以实际上没有与抽象基类直接等价的东西。
你可以使用@Yar提出的方法(做了一些修改):
#define mustOverride() @throw [NSException exceptionWithName:NSInvalidArgumentException reason:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s must be overridden in a subclass/category", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__] userInfo:nil]
#define setMustOverride() NSLog(@"%@ - method not implemented", NSStringFromClass([self class])); mustOverride()
在这里你会得到这样的消息:
<Date> ProjectName[7921:1967092] <Class where method not implemented> - method not implemented
<Date> ProjectName[7921:1967092] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[<Base class (if inherited or same if not> <Method name>] must be overridden in a subclass/category'
或断言:
NSAssert(![self respondsToSelector:@selector(<MethodName>)], @"Not implemented");
在这种情况下,你会得到:
<Date> ProjectName[7926:1967491] *** Assertion failure in -[<Class Name> <Method name>], /Users/kirill/Documents/Projects/root/<ProjectName> Services/Classes/ViewControllers/YourClass:53
您也可以使用协议和其他解决方案-但这是最简单的解决方案之一。
也许这种情况只会发生在开发阶段,所以这是可行的:
- (id)myMethodWithVar:(id)var {
NSAssert(NO, @"You most override myMethodWithVar:");
return nil;
}
如果你习惯了编译器在其他语言中捕捉抽象实例化的冲突,那么Objective-C的行为是令人失望的。
作为一种后期绑定语言,Objective-C显然不能对一个类是否真的是抽象的做出静态决定(你可能在运行时添加函数……),但对于典型的用例来说,这似乎是一个缺点。我更喜欢编译器直接阻止抽象类的实例化,而不是在运行时抛出错误。
下面是我们使用的一个模式,使用一些技术来隐藏初始化式来获得这种类型的静态检查:
//
// Base.h
#define UNAVAILABLE __attribute__((unavailable("Default initializer not available.")));
@protocol MyProtocol <NSObject>
-(void) dependentFunction;
@end
@interface Base : NSObject {
@protected
__weak id<MyProtocol> _protocolHelper; // Weak to prevent retain cycles!
}
- (instancetype) init UNAVAILABLE; // Prevent the user from calling this
- (void) doStuffUsingDependentFunction;
@end
//
// Base.m
#import "Base.h"
// We know that Base has a hidden initializer method.
// Declare it here for readability.
@interface Base (Private)
- (instancetype)initFromDerived;
@end
@implementation Base
- (instancetype)initFromDerived {
// It is unlikely that this becomes incorrect, but assert
// just in case.
NSAssert(![self isMemberOfClass:[Base class]],
@"To be called only from derived classes!");
self = [super init];
return self;
}
- (void) doStuffUsingDependentFunction {
[_protocolHelper dependentFunction]; // Use it
}
@end
//
// Derived.h
#import "Base.h"
@interface Derived : Base
-(instancetype) initDerived; // We cannot use init here :(
@end
//
// Derived.m
#import "Derived.h"
// We know that Base has a hidden initializer method.
// Declare it here.
@interface Base (Private)
- (instancetype) initFromDerived;
@end
// Privately inherit protocol
@interface Derived () <MyProtocol>
@end
@implementation Derived
-(instancetype) initDerived {
self= [super initFromDerived];
if (self) {
self->_protocolHelper= self;
}
return self;
}
// Implement the missing function
-(void)dependentFunction {
}
@end
Typically, Objective-C class are abstract by convention only—if the author documents a class as abstract, just don't use it without subclassing it. There is no compile-time enforcement that prevents instantiation of an abstract class, however. In fact, there is nothing to stop a user from providing implementations of abstract methods via a category (i.e. at runtime). You can force a user to at least override certain methods by raising an exception in those methods implementation in your abstract class:
[NSException raise:NSInternalInconsistencyException
format:@"You must override %@ in a subclass", NSStringFromSelector(_cmd)];
如果您的方法返回一个值,那么使用起来会更容易一些
@throw [NSException exceptionWithName:NSInternalInconsistencyException
reason:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"You must override %@ in a subclass", NSStringFromSelector(_cmd)]
userInfo:nil];
这样就不需要从方法中添加return语句了。
如果抽象类实际上是一个接口(即没有具体的方法实现),使用Objective-C协议是更合适的选择。
