在与同事讨论了c# 3中var关键字的使用后,我想知道人们对通过var适当使用类型推断的看法是什么?

例如,我很懒地在有问题的情况下使用var,例如:-

foreach(var item in someList) { // ... } // Type of 'item' not clear.
var something = someObject.SomeProperty; // Type of 'something' not clear.
var something = someMethod(); // Type of 'something' not clear.

var更合法的用法如下:-

var l = new List<string>(); // Obvious what l will be.
var s = new SomeClass(); // Obvious what s will be.

有趣的是,LINQ似乎是一个灰色区域,例如:-

var results = from r in dataContext.SomeTable
              select r; // Not *entirely clear* what results will be here.

结果很明显,因为它将是一个实现IEnumerable的类型,但它并不完全明显,与var声明一个新对象的方式相同。

当涉及到对象的LINQ时,情况就更糟了,例如:-

var results = from item in someList
              where item != 3
              select item;

这并不比等价的foreach(var item in someList){//…}相当于。

这里有一个关于类型安全的真正问题——例如,如果我们将该查询的结果放在一个接受IEnumerable<int>和IEnumerable<double>的重载方法中,调用者可能会无意中传入错误的类型。

Var确实保持强类型,但问题是,在定义中不立即显示类型是否危险,当重载意味着当你无意中将错误的类型传递给方法时,编译器可能不会发出错误,这种情况会被放大。


当前回答

我曾经认为var关键字是一个伟大的发明,但我把一个限制,这是

只在类型很明显的情况下使用var(不要滚动或查看返回类型)

我意识到这并没有给我带来任何好处,并从我的代码中删除了所有的var关键字(除非他们是特别需要的),现在我认为他们使代码可读性更差,特别是对其他人阅读你的代码。

它隐藏了意图,并且在至少一个实例中,由于类型的假设而导致某些代码的运行时错误。

因冗余原因删除。

var仍然被初始化为正确的变量类型——编译器只是从上下文推断它。正如您所提到的,var使我们能够存储对匿名类实例的引用——但它也使更改代码变得更容易。例如:

// If you change ItemLibrary to use int, you need to update this call
byte totalItemCount = ItemLibrary.GetItemCount();

// If GetItemCount changes, I don't have to update this statement.
var totalItemCount = ItemLibrary.GetItemCount();

是的,如果很难从变量的名称和用法中确定变量的类型,那么无论如何都要显式声明它的类型。

将它用于匿名类型—这就是它存在的目的。其他的都是徒劳无功。像许多使用C长大的人一样,我习惯于查看类型声明的左侧。除非迫不得已,我是不会看右边的。在任何旧的声明中使用var都让我一直这样做,我个人觉得不舒服。

Those saying 'it doesn't matter, use what you're happy with' are not seeing the whole picture. Everyone will pick up other people's code at one point or another and have to deal with whatever decisions they made at the time they wrote it. It's bad enough having to deal with radically different naming conventions, or - the classic gripe - bracing styles, without adding the whole 'var or not' thing into the mix. The worst case will be where one programmer didn't use var and then along comes a maintainer who loves it, and extends the code using it. So now you have an unholy mess.

标准是一件好事,因为它们意味着你更有可能捡起随机代码,并能够快速地理解它。不同的东西越多,就越难。而转移到“无处不在的var”风格会有很大的不同。

I don't mind dynamic typing, and I don't mind implict typing - in languages that are designed for them. I quite like Python. But C# was designed as a statically explicitly-typed language and that's how it should stay. Breaking the rules for anonymous types was bad enough; letting people take that still further and break the idioms of the language even more is something I'm not happy with. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, it'll never go back in. C# will become balkanised into camps. Not good.

令人惊讶的是,到目前为止还没有注意到这一点,但对foreach循环变量使用var是常识。

如果您指定了特定的类型,则可能会有编译器无声地将运行时强制转换插入程序的风险!

foreach (Derived d in listOfBase)
{

上面的代码将被编译。但是编译器会插入一个从Base到Derived的向下转换。因此,如果列表中的任何内容在运行时不是派生的,则存在无效的强制转换异常。类型安全受到损害。隐形演员太可怕了。

排除这种情况的唯一方法是使用var,因此编译器会根据列表的静态类型来确定循环变量的类型。

它当然可以让事情变得更简单,从我昨天写的代码来看:

var content  = new Queue<Pair<Regex, Func<string, bool>>>();
...
foreach (var entry in content) { ... }

如果没有var,这将是非常冗长的。

附录:花点时间学习具有真正类型推断的语言(例如f#),就会发现编译器在正确获取表达式类型方面是多么出色。这当然意味着我倾向于尽可能多地使用var,现在使用显式类型表明变量不是初始化表达式的类型。

我广泛使用var。有人批评这降低了代码的可读性,但没有证据支持这种说法。

Admittedly, it may mean that it's not clear what type we are dealing with. So what? This is actually the point of a decoupled design. When dealing with interfaces, you are emphatically not interested in the type a variable has. var takes this much further, true, but I think that the argument remains the same from a readability point of view: The programmer shouldn't actually be interested in the type of the variable but rather in what a variable does. This is why Microsoft also calls type inference “duck typing.”

当我用var声明变量时,它会做什么呢?简单,智能感知让它做什么它就做什么。任何关于c#的推理都忽略了IDE,这是不现实的。实际上,每个c#代码都是在支持智能感知的IDE中编写的。

如果我使用了一个var声明的变量,并对变量的用途感到困惑,那么我的代码就有根本性的问题。Var不是原因,它只是使症状可见。不要责怪送信的人。

现在,c#团队发布了一个编码指南,声明var应该只用于捕获创建匿名类型的LINQ语句的结果(因为在这里,我们没有真正的替代var的方法)。去他的。只要c#团队没有给我一个合理的论证,我就会忽略它,因为在我的专业和个人观点中,这纯粹是胡扯。(抱歉;我找不到相关指南的链接。)

Actually, there are some (superficially) good explanations on why you shouldn't use var but I still believe they are largely wrong. Take the example of “searchabililty”: the author claims that var makes it hard to search for places where MyType is used. Right. So do interfaces. Actually, why would I want to know where the class is used? I might be more interested in where it is instantiated and this will still be searchable because somewhere its constructor has to be invoked (even if this is done indirectly, the type name has to be mentioned somewhere).
