是否有一种方法可以在swift中打印变量的运行时类型?例如:

var now = NSDate()
var soon = now.dateByAddingTimeInterval(5.0)

println("\(now.dynamicType)") 
// Prints "(Metatype)"

println("\(now.dynamicType.description()")
// Prints "__NSDate" since objective-c Class objects have a "description" selector

println("\(soon.dynamicType.description()")
// Compile-time error since ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional<NSDate> has no "description" method

在上面的例子中,我正在寻找一种方法来显示变量“soon”的类型是ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional<NSDate>,或至少NSDate!

Swift 3.0, Xcode 8

使用下面的代码,您可以向实例请求其类。你也可以比较两个实例,是否具有相同的类。

// CREATE pure SWIFT class
class MySwiftClass {
    var someString : String = "default"
    var someInt    : Int = 5
}

// CREATE instances
let firstInstance = MySwiftClass()
let secondInstance = MySwiftClass()
secondInstance.someString = "Donald"
secondInstance.someInt = 24

// INSPECT instances
if type(of: firstInstance) === MySwiftClass.self {
    print("SUCCESS with ===")
} else {
    print("PROBLEM with ===")
}

if type(of: firstInstance) == MySwiftClass.self {
    print("SUCCESS with ==")
} else {
    print("PROBLEM with ==")
}

// COMPARE CLASS OF TWO INSTANCES
if type(of: firstInstance) === type(of: secondInstance) {
    print("instances have equal class")
} else {
    print("instances have NOT equal class")
}

let string = "Hello"
let stringArray = ["one", "two"]
let dictionary = ["key": 2]

print(type(of: string)) // "String"

// Get type name as a string
String(describing: type(of: string)) // "String"
String(describing: type(of: stringArray)) // "Array<String>"
String(describing: type(of: dictionary)) // "Dictionary<String, Int>"

// Get full type as a string
String(reflecting: type(of: string)) // "Swift.String"
String(reflecting: type(of: stringArray)) // "Swift.Array<Swift.String>"
String(reflecting: type(of: dictionary)) // "Swift.Dictionary<Swift.String, Swift.Int>"

Xcode 8 Swift 3.0使用类型:

let className = "\(type(of: instance))"

在lldb beta 5中,你可以通过以下命令查看对象的类:

fr v -d r shipDate

输出如下:

(DBSalesOrderShipDate_DBSalesOrderShipDate_ *) shipDate = 0x7f859940

展开的命令是这样的:

帧变量(打印帧变量)-d run_target(展开动态类型)

需要知道的一点是,使用“Frame Variable”来输出变量值可以确保不执行任何代码。

Swift版本4:

print("\(type(of: self)) ,\(#function)")
// within a function of a class

这里的许多答案都不支持最新的Swift(本文撰写时为Xcode 7.1.1)。

目前获取信息的方法是创建一个Mirror并对其进行询问。对于类名,它很简单:

let mirror = Mirror(reflecting: instanceToInspect)
let classname:String = mirror.description

关于对象的其他信息也可以从镜像中检索。详情见http://swiftdoc.org/v2.1/type/Mirror/。
