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:使用type(of:),例如type(of: someThing)(因为dynamicType关键字已被删除)

2015年10月更新:

我更新了下面的例子到新的Swift 2.0语法(例如println替换为print, toString()现在是String())。

Xcode 6.3发布说明:

@nschum在评论中指出,Xcode 6.3发布说明显示了另一种方式:

使用时,类型值现在打印为完整的需求类型名 Println或字符串插值。

import Foundation

class PureSwiftClass { }

var myvar0 = NSString() // Objective-C class
var myvar1 = PureSwiftClass()
var myvar2 = 42
var myvar3 = "Hans"

print( "String(myvar0.dynamicType) -> \(myvar0.dynamicType)")
print( "String(myvar1.dynamicType) -> \(myvar1.dynamicType)")
print( "String(myvar2.dynamicType) -> \(myvar2.dynamicType)")
print( "String(myvar3.dynamicType) -> \(myvar3.dynamicType)")

print( "String(Int.self)           -> \(Int.self)")
print( "String((Int?).self         -> \((Int?).self)")
print( "String(NSString.self)      -> \(NSString.self)")
print( "String(Array<String>.self) -> \(Array<String>.self)")

输出:

String(myvar0.dynamicType) -> __NSCFConstantString
String(myvar1.dynamicType) -> PureSwiftClass
String(myvar2.dynamicType) -> Int
String(myvar3.dynamicType) -> String
String(Int.self)           -> Int
String((Int?).self         -> Optional<Int>
String(NSString.self)      -> NSString
String(Array<String>.self) -> Array<String>

Xcode 6.3更新:

你可以使用_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName():

print( "TypeName0 = \(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar0))")
print( "TypeName1 = \(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar1))")
print( "TypeName2 = \(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar2))")
print( "TypeName3 = \(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar3))")

并将其作为输出:

TypeName0 = NSString
TypeName1 = __lldb_expr_26.PureSwiftClass
TypeName2 = Swift.Int
TypeName3 = Swift.String

最初的回答:

在Xcode 6.3之前,_stdlib_getTypeName获取变量的类型名。伊万·斯维克(Ewan Swick)的博客有助于解读这些字符串:

例如:_TtSi代表Swift的内部Int类型。

Mike Ash有一篇很棒的博客文章涉及了同样的主题。

其他回答

let i: Int = 20


  func getTypeName(v: Any) -> String {
    let fullName = _stdlib_demangleName(_stdlib_getTypeName(i))
    if let range = fullName.rangeOfString(".") {
        return fullName.substringFromIndex(range.endIndex)
    }
    return fullName
}

println("Var type is \(getTypeName(i)) = \(i)")

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>"

似乎没有通用的方法来打印任意值的类型的类型名。正如其他人所注意到的,对于类实例,可以打印值。但是对于基本值,在运行时,类型信息消失了。

例如,似乎没有一种方法可以输入:1.something()并得到Int的任何值。(正如另一个答案所建议的那样,您可以使用i. bridgetooobjecvec()。__NSCFNumber实际上并不是i的类型——只是当它越过Objective-C函数调用的边界时它将被转换为的类型。)

我很乐意被证明是错的,但看起来类型检查都是在编译时完成的,而且像c++(禁用RTTI)一样,很多类型信息在运行时就消失了。

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")
}

这在检查一个对象是否是类的类型时也很方便:

if someObject is SomeClass {
    //someObject is a type of SomeClass
}
