Java不允许我们这么做的原因是什么

private T[] elements = new T[initialCapacity];

我可以理解。net不允许我们这样做,因为在。net中,值类型在运行时可以有不同的大小,但在Java中,所有类型的T都将是对象引用,因此具有相同的大小(如果我错了请纠正我)。

原因是什么?


当前回答

主要原因是Java中的数组是协变的。

这里有一个很好的概述。

答案已经给出了,但如果你已经有一个T的实例,那么你可以这样做:

T t; //Assuming you already have this object instantiated or given by parameter.
int length;
T[] ts = (T[]) Array.newInstance(t.getClass(), length);

Oracle教程:

You cannot create arrays of parameterized types. For example, the following code does not compile: List<Integer>[] arrayOfLists = new List<Integer>[2]; // compile-time error The following code illustrates what happens when different types are inserted into an array: Object[] strings = new String[2]; strings[0] = "hi"; // OK strings[1] = 100; // An ArrayStoreException is thrown. If you try the same thing with a generic list, there would be a problem: Object[] stringLists = new List<String>[]; // compiler error, but pretend it's allowed stringLists[0] = new ArrayList<String>(); // OK stringLists[1] = new ArrayList<Integer>(); // An ArrayStoreException should be thrown, // but the runtime can't detect it. If arrays of parameterized lists were allowed, the previous code would fail to throw the desired ArrayStoreException.

对我来说,这听起来很软弱。我认为任何对泛型有充分理解的人,都完全可以理解,甚至期望,在这种情况下ArrayStoredException不会被抛出。

这是因为泛型是在他们创建后才添加到java的,所以它有点笨拙,因为java的原始创造者认为在创建数组时,类型应该在创建时指定。这对泛型不起作用,所以你必须这么做 E[] array=(E[]) new Object[15]; 这将编译,但会给出警告。

引用:

Arrays of generic types are not allowed because they're not sound. The problem is due to the interaction of Java arrays, which are not statically sound but are dynamically checked, with generics, which are statically sound and not dynamically checked. Here is how you could exploit the loophole: class Box<T> { final T x; Box(T x) { this.x = x; } } class Loophole { public static void main(String[] args) { Box<String>[] bsa = new Box<String>[3]; Object[] oa = bsa; oa[0] = new Box<Integer>(3); // error not caught by array store check String s = bsa[0].x; // BOOM! } } We had proposed to resolve this problem using statically safe arrays (aka Variance) bute that was rejected for Tiger. -- gafter
