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!


当前回答

Xcode 8 Swift 3.0使用类型:

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

其他回答

当使用Cocoa(而不是CocoaTouch)时,你可以为NSObject的子类对象使用className属性。

println(now.className)

这个属性对于普通的Swift对象是不可用的,它不是NSObject的子类(事实上,在Swift中没有根id或对象类型)。

class Person {
    var name: String?
}

var p = Person()
println(person.className) // <- Compiler error

在CocoaTouch中,此时没有办法获得给定变量类型的字符串描述。类似的功能在Cocoa或CocoaTouch中也不存在。

Swift REPL能够打印出值的摘要,包括它的类型,所以这种内省方式可能在未来通过API实现。

编辑:转储(对象)似乎做的把戏。

我的运气是:

let className = NSStringFromClass(obj.dynamicType)

斯威夫特3.0

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>"

根据上面Klass和Kevin Ballard给出的答案和评论,我认为:

println(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(now).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!)
println(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(soon).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!)
println(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(soon?).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!)
println(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(soon!).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!)

println(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar0).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!)
println(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar1).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!)
println(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar2).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!)
println(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar3).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!)

这将打印出:

"NSDate"
"ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional"
"Optional"
"NSDate"

"NSString"
"PureSwiftClass"
"Int"
"Double"

在最新的XCode 6.3和Swift 1.2中,这是我发现的唯一方法:

if view.classForCoder.description() == "UISegment" {
    ...
}
