C # 2008
我已经在这方面工作了一段时间,但我仍然对在代码中使用finalize和dispose方法感到困惑。我的问题如下:
I know that we only need a finalizer while disposing unmanaged resources. However, if there are managed resources that make calls to unmanaged resources, would it still need to implement a finalizer?
However, if I develop a class that doesn't use any unmanaged resource - directly or indirectly, should I implement the IDisposable to allow the clients of that class to use the 'using statement'?
Would it be feasible to implement IDisposable just to enable clients of your class to use the using statement?
using(myClass objClass = new myClass())
{
// Do stuff here
}
I have developed this simple code below to demonstrate the Finalize/dispose use:
public class NoGateway : IDisposable
{
private WebClient wc = null;
public NoGateway()
{
wc = new WebClient();
wc.DownloadStringCompleted += wc_DownloadStringCompleted;
}
// Start the Async call to find if NoGateway is true or false
public void NoGatewayStatus()
{
// Start the Async's download
// Do other work here
wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(www.xxxx.xxx));
}
private void wc_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
// Do work here
}
// Dispose of the NoGateway object
public void Dispose()
{
wc.DownloadStringCompleted -= wc_DownloadStringCompleted;
wc.Dispose();
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}
}
关于源代码的问题:
Here I have not added the finalizer, and normally the finalizer will be called by the GC, and the finalizer will call the Dispose. As I don't have the finalizer, when do I call the Dispose method? Is it the client of the class that has to call it?
So my class in the example is called NoGateway and the client could use and dispose of the class like this:
using(NoGateway objNoGateway = new NoGateway())
{
// Do stuff here
}
Would the Dispose method be automatically called when execution reaches the end of the using block, or does the client have to manually call the dispose method? i.e.
NoGateway objNoGateway = new NoGateway();
// Do stuff with object
objNoGateway.Dispose(); // finished with it
I am using the WebClient class in my NoGateway class. Because WebClient implements the IDisposable interface, does this mean that WebClient indirectly uses unmanaged resources? Is there a hard and fast rule to follow this? How do I know that a class uses unmanaged resources?
推荐的IDisposable模式如下。当编程一个使用IDisposable的类时,通常你应该使用两种模式:
当实现一个不使用非托管资源的密封类时,你只需像普通接口实现一样实现Dispose方法:
public sealed class A : IDisposable
{
public void Dispose()
{
// get rid of managed resources, call Dispose on member variables...
}
}
当实现一个非密封类时,像这样做:
public class B : IDisposable
{
public void Dispose()
{
Dispose(true);
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
{
// get rid of managed resources
}
// get rid of unmanaged resources
}
// only if you use unmanaged resources directly in B
//~B()
//{
// Dispose(false);
//}
}
注意,我没有在B中声明终结式;只有在有实际的非托管资源要处理时,才应该实现终结器。CLR处理可终结对象与处理不可终结对象是不同的,即使调用了SuppressFinalize。
所以,除非必须,否则你不应该声明终结器,但是你可以给类的继承者一个钩子来调用你的Dispose,如果他们直接使用非托管资源,他们自己实现终结器:
public class C : B
{
private IntPtr m_Handle;
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
{
// get rid of managed resources
}
ReleaseHandle(m_Handle);
base.Dispose(disposing);
}
~C() {
Dispose(false);
}
}
如果您没有直接使用非托管资源(SafeHandle和friend不计算在内,因为它们声明了自己的终结器),那么就不要实现终结器,因为GC以不同的方式处理可终结类,即使您稍后抑制了终结器。还要注意,即使B没有终结器,它仍然调用SuppressFinalize来正确处理任何实现了终结器的子类。
当一个类实现IDisposable接口时,这意味着在某个地方有一些非托管资源,当您使用完该类时,这些资源应该被删除。实际资源封装在类中;您不需要显式地删除它们。只需调用Dispose()或将类包装在using(…){}中,就可以确保在必要时删除任何非托管资源。
If you are using other managed objects that are using unmanaged resources, it is not your responsibility to ensure those are finalized. Your responsibility is to call Dispose on those objects when Dispose is called on your object, and it stops there.
If your class doesn't use any scarce resources, I fail to see why you would make your class implement IDisposable. You should only do so if you're:
Know you will have scarce resources in your objects soon, just not now (and I mean that as in "we're still developing, it will be here before we're done", not as in "I think we'll need this")
Using scarce resources
Yes, the code that uses your code must call the Dispose method of your object. And yes, the code that uses your object can use using as you've shown.
(2 again?) It is likely that the WebClient uses either unmanaged resources, or other managed resources that implement IDisposable. The exact reason, however, is not important. What is important is that it implements IDisposable, and so it falls on you to act upon that knowledge by disposing of the object when you're done with it, even if it turns out WebClient uses no other resources at all.
