Guide pratique pour définir un type générique avec l’émission de réflexion

Cet article explique comment créer un type générique simple avec deux paramètres de type, comment appliquer des contraintes de classe, des contraintes d’interface et des contraintes spéciales aux paramètres de type, et comment créer des membres qui utilisent les paramètres de type de la classe comme types de paramètres et types de retour.

Important

Une méthode n’est pas générique simplement car elle appartient à un type générique et utilise les paramètres de type de ce type. Une méthode est générique uniquement si elle a sa propre liste de paramètres de type. La plupart des méthodes sur les types génériques ne sont pas génériques, comme dans cet exemple. Pour obtenir un exemple d’émission de méthode générique, consultez Guide pratique pour définir une méthode générique avec l’émission de réflexion.

Définir un type générique

  1. Définissez un assembly dynamique nommé GenericEmitExample1. Dans cet exemple, l’assembly est exécuté et enregistré sur le disque. AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave est donc spécifié.

    AppDomain^ myDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
    AssemblyName^ myAsmName = gcnew AssemblyName( L"GenericEmitExample1" );
    AssemblyBuilder^ myAssembly = myDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly( 
        myAsmName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave );
    
    AppDomain myDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
    AssemblyName myAsmName = new AssemblyName("GenericEmitExample1");
    AssemblyBuilder myAssembly =
        myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(myAsmName,
            AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave);
    
    Dim myDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
    Dim myAsmName As New AssemblyName("GenericEmitExample1")
    Dim myAssembly As AssemblyBuilder = myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly( _
        myAsmName, _
        AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave)
    
  2. Définissez un module dynamique. Un assembly est composé de modules exécutables. Pour un assembly à module unique, le nom du module est identique au nom de l’assembly, et le nom de fichier est le nom du module suivi d’une extension.

    ModuleBuilder^ myModule = myAssembly->DefineDynamicModule( 
        myAsmName->Name, String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );
    
    ModuleBuilder myModule =
        myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule(myAsmName.Name,
           myAsmName.Name + ".dll");
    
    Dim myModule As ModuleBuilder = myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule( _
        myAsmName.Name, _
        myAsmName.Name & ".dll")
    
  3. Définissez une classe. Dans cet exemple, la classe se nomme Sample.

    TypeBuilder^ myType = myModule->DefineType( L"Sample", 
        TypeAttributes::Public );
    
    TypeBuilder myType =
        myModule.DefineType("Sample", TypeAttributes.Public);
    
    Dim myType As TypeBuilder = myModule.DefineType( _
        "Sample", _
        TypeAttributes.Public)
    
  4. Définissez les paramètres de type générique de Sample en passant un tableau de chaînes contenant les noms des paramètres à la méthode TypeBuilder.DefineGenericParameters. Cela fait de la classe un type générique. La valeur de retour est un tableau d’objets GenericTypeParameterBuilder représentant les paramètres de type, qui peut être utilisé dans votre code émis.

    Dans le code suivant, Sample devient un type générique avec les paramètres de type TFirst et TSecond. Pour faciliter la lecture du code, chaque GenericTypeParameterBuilder est placé dans une variable du même nom que le paramètre de type.

    array<String^>^typeParamNames = {L"TFirst",L"TSecond"};
    array<GenericTypeParameterBuilder^>^typeParams = 
        myType->DefineGenericParameters( typeParamNames );
    
    GenericTypeParameterBuilder^ TFirst = typeParams[0];
    GenericTypeParameterBuilder^ TSecond = typeParams[1];
    
    string[] typeParamNames = {"TFirst", "TSecond"};
    GenericTypeParameterBuilder[] typeParams =
        myType.DefineGenericParameters(typeParamNames);
    
    GenericTypeParameterBuilder TFirst = typeParams[0];
    GenericTypeParameterBuilder TSecond = typeParams[1];
    
    Dim typeParamNames() As String = {"TFirst", "TSecond"}
    Dim typeParams() As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = _
        myType.DefineGenericParameters(typeParamNames)
    
    Dim TFirst As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = typeParams(0)
    Dim TSecond As GenericTypeParameterBuilder = typeParams(1)
    
  5. Ajoutez des contraintes spéciales aux paramètres de type. Dans cet exemple, le paramètre de type TFirst est limité aux types qui ont des constructeurs sans paramètre et aux types référence.

    TFirst->SetGenericParameterAttributes( 
        GenericParameterAttributes::DefaultConstructorConstraint | 
        GenericParameterAttributes::ReferenceTypeConstraint 
    );
    
    TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes(
        GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint |
        GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint);
    
    TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes( _
        GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint _
        Or GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint)
    
  6. Ajoutez éventuellement des contraintes de classe et d’interface aux paramètres de type. Dans cet exemple, le paramètre de type TFirst est limité aux types qui dérivent de la classe de base représentée par l’objet Type contenu dans la variable baseType, et qui implémentent les interfaces dont les types sont contenus dans les variables interfaceA et interfaceB. Pour plus d’informations sur la déclaration et l’assignation de ces variables, consultez l’exemple de code.

    array<Type^>^interfaceTypes = { interfaceA, interfaceB };
    TSecond->SetInterfaceConstraints( interfaceTypes );
    TSecond->SetBaseTypeConstraint( baseType );
    
    TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType);
    Type[] interfaceTypes = {interfaceA, interfaceB};
    TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes);
    
    TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType)
    Dim interfaceTypes() As Type = {interfaceA, interfaceB}
    TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes)
    
  7. Définissez un champ. Dans cet exemple, le type du champ est spécifié par le paramètre de type TFirst. GenericTypeParameterBuilder dérive de Type. Vous pouvez donc utiliser des paramètres de type générique partout où un type peut être utilisé.

    FieldBuilder^ exField = 
        myType->DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, 
            FieldAttributes::Private);
    
    FieldBuilder exField =
        myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst,
            FieldAttributes.Private);
    
    Dim exField As FieldBuilder = _
        myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, _
            FieldAttributes.Private)
    
  8. Définissez une méthode qui utilise les paramètres de type du type générique. Notez que ces méthodes ne sont génériques que si elles ont leurs propres listes de paramètres de type. Le code suivant définit une méthode static (Shared en Visual Basic) qui prend un tableau de TFirst et retourne un List<TFirst> (List(Of TFirst) en Visual Basic) contenant tous les éléments du tableau. Pour définir cette méthode, vous devez créer le type List<TFirst> en appelant MakeGenericType sur la définition de type générique, List<T>. (Le T est omis quand vous utilisez l’opérateur typeof (GetType en Visual Basic) pour obtenir la définition de type générique.) Le type de paramètre est créé à l’aide de la méthode MakeArrayType.

    Type^ listOf = List::typeid;
    Type^ listOfTFirst = listOf->MakeGenericType(TFirst);
    array<Type^>^ mParamTypes = { TFirst->MakeArrayType() };
    
    MethodBuilder^ exMethod = 
        myType->DefineMethod("ExampleMethod", 
            MethodAttributes::Public | MethodAttributes::Static, 
            listOfTFirst, 
            mParamTypes);
    
    Type listOf = typeof(List<>);
    Type listOfTFirst = listOf.MakeGenericType(TFirst);
    Type[] mParamTypes = {TFirst.MakeArrayType()};
    
    MethodBuilder exMethod =
        myType.DefineMethod("ExampleMethod",
            MethodAttributes.Public | MethodAttributes.Static,
            listOfTFirst,
            mParamTypes);
    
    Dim listOf As Type = GetType(List(Of ))
    Dim listOfTFirst As Type = listOf.MakeGenericType(TFirst)
    Dim mParamTypes() As Type = {TFirst.MakeArrayType()}
    
    Dim exMethod As MethodBuilder = _
        myType.DefineMethod("ExampleMethod", _
            MethodAttributes.Public Or MethodAttributes.Static, _
            listOfTFirst, _
            mParamTypes)
    
  9. Émettez le corps de méthode. Le corps de la méthode se compose de trois opcodes qui chargent le tableau d’entrée sur la pile, appellent le constructeur List<TFirst> qui accepte IEnumerable<TFirst> (qui fait tout le travail nécessaire pour placer les éléments d’entrée dans la liste), et retournent (en laissant le nouvel objet List<T> sur la pile). La partie difficile de l’émission de ce code consiste à obtenir le constructeur.

    La méthode GetConstructor n’étant pas prise en charge sur un GenericTypeParameterBuilder, vous ne pouvez pas obtenir directement le constructeur de List<TFirst>. Vous devez d’abord obtenir le constructeur de la définition de type générique List<T>, puis appeler une méthode qui le convertit en constructeur de List<TFirst> correspondant.

    Le constructeur utilisé pour cet exemple de code prend un IEnumerable<T>. Notez cependant qu’il ne s’agit pas de la définition de type générique de l’interface générique IEnumerable<T>. Au lieu de cela, le paramètre de type T de List<T> doit remplacer le paramètre de type T de IEnumerable<T>. (Cela semble déroutant uniquement parce que les deux types ont des paramètres de type nommés T. C’est pourquoi cet exemple de code utilise les noms TFirst et TSecond.) Pour obtenir le type de l’argument constructeur, commencez par la définition IEnumerable<T> de type générique et appelez MakeGenericType avec le premier paramètre de type générique List<T>. La liste d’arguments de constructeur doit être passée en tant que tableau, avec un seul argument dans ce cas.

    Notes

    La définition de type générique est exprimée en tant que IEnumerable<> quand vous utilisez l’opérateur typeof en C#, ou IEnumerable(Of ) quand vous utilisez l’opérateur GetType en Visual Basic.

    Il est désormais possible d’obtenir le constructeur de List<T> en appelant GetConstructor sur la définition de type générique. Pour convertir ce constructeur en constructeur correspondant de List<TFirst>, transmettez List<TFirst> et le constructeur de List<T> à la méthode statique TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(Type, ConstructorInfo).

    ILGenerator^ ilgen = exMethod->GetILGenerator();
         
    Type^ ienumOf = IEnumerable::typeid;
    Type^ TfromListOf = listOf->GetGenericArguments()[0];
    Type^ ienumOfT = ienumOf->MakeGenericType(TfromListOf);
    array<Type^>^ ctorArgs = {ienumOfT};
    
    ConstructorInfo^ ctorPrep = listOf->GetConstructor(ctorArgs);
    ConstructorInfo^ ctor = 
        TypeBuilder::GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep);
    
    ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Ldarg_0);
    ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Newobj, ctor);
    ilgen->Emit(OpCodes::Ret);
    
    ILGenerator ilgen = exMethod.GetILGenerator();
    
    Type ienumOf = typeof(IEnumerable<>);
    Type TfromListOf = listOf.GetGenericArguments()[0];
    Type ienumOfT = ienumOf.MakeGenericType(TfromListOf);
    Type[] ctorArgs = {ienumOfT};
    
    ConstructorInfo ctorPrep = listOf.GetConstructor(ctorArgs);
    ConstructorInfo ctor =
        TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep);
    
    ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0);
    ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Newobj, ctor);
    ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ret);
    
    Dim ilgen As ILGenerator = exMethod.GetILGenerator()
    
    Dim ienumOf As Type = GetType(IEnumerable(Of ))
    Dim listOfTParams() As Type = listOf.GetGenericArguments()
    Dim TfromListOf As Type = listOfTParams(0)
    Dim ienumOfT As Type = ienumOf.MakeGenericType(TfromListOf)
    Dim ctorArgs() As Type = {ienumOfT}
    
    Dim ctorPrep As ConstructorInfo = _
        listOf.GetConstructor(ctorArgs)
    Dim ctor As ConstructorInfo = _
        TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(listOfTFirst, ctorPrep)
    
    ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ldarg_0)
    ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Newobj, ctor)
    ilgen.Emit(OpCodes.Ret)
    
  10. Créez le type et enregistrez le fichier.

    Type^ finished = myType->CreateType();
    myAssembly->Save( String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );
    
    Type finished = myType.CreateType();
    myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name+".dll");
    
    Dim finished As Type = myType.CreateType()
    myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name & ".dll")
    
  11. Appelez la méthode. ExampleMethod n’est pas générique, mais le type auquel il appartient est générique. Ainsi, pour obtenir un MethodInfo qui peut être appelé, il est nécessaire de créer un type construit à partir de la définition de type de Sample. Le type construit utilise la classe Example, ce qui satisfait aux contraintes sur TFirst car il s’agit d’un type référence avec un constructeur sans paramètre par défaut, et la classe ExampleDerived qui satisfait aux contraintes sur TSecond. (Le code de ExampleDerived se trouve dans la section Exemple de code.) Ces deux types sont passés à MakeGenericType pour créer le type construit. MethodInfo est ensuite obtenu à l’aide de la méthode GetMethod.

    array<Type^>^ typeArgs = 
        { Example::typeid, ExampleDerived::typeid };
    Type^ constructed = finished->MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
    MethodInfo^ mi = constructed->GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
    
    Type[] typeArgs = {typeof(Example), typeof(ExampleDerived)};
    Type constructed = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
    MethodInfo mi = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
    
    Dim typeArgs() As Type = _
        {GetType(Example), GetType(ExampleDerived)}
    Dim constructed As Type = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs)
    Dim mi As MethodInfo = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod")
    
  12. Le code suivant crée un tableau d’objets Example, place ce tableau dans un tableau de type Object représentant les arguments de la méthode à appeler, puis les passe à la méthode Invoke(Object, Object[]). Le premier argument de la méthode Invoke est une référence null car la méthode est static.

    array<Example^>^ input = { gcnew Example(), gcnew Example() };
    array<Object^>^ arguments = { input };
    
    List<Example^>^ listX = 
        (List<Example^>^) mi->Invoke(nullptr, arguments);
    
    Console::WriteLine(
        "\nThere are {0} elements in the List<Example>.", 
        listX->Count);
    
    Example[] input = {new Example(), new Example()};
    object[] arguments = {input};
    
    List<Example> listX =
        (List<Example>) mi.Invoke(null, arguments);
    
    Console.WriteLine(
        "\nThere are {0} elements in the List<Example>.",
        listX.Count);
    
    Dim input() As Example = {New Example(), New Example()}
    Dim arguments() As Object = {input}
    
    Dim listX As List(Of Example) = mi.Invoke(Nothing, arguments)
    
    Console.WriteLine(vbLf & _
        "There are {0} elements in the List(Of Example).", _
        listX.Count _
    )
    

Exemple

L’exemple de code suivant définit une classe nommée Sample, ainsi qu’une classe de base et deux interfaces. Le programme définit deux paramètres de type générique pour Sample, ce qui en fait un type générique. Les paramètres de type sont la seule chose qui rend un type générique. Le programme l’indique en affichant un message de test avant et après la définition des paramètres de type.

Le paramètre de type TSecond sert à illustrer les contraintes de classe et d’interface, à l’aide des interfaces et de la classe de base, et le paramètre de type TFirst sert à illustrer des contraintes spéciales.

L’exemple de code définit un champ et une méthode à l’aide des paramètres de type de la classe pour le type de champ et pour le paramètre et le type de retour de la méthode.

Une fois la classe Sample créée, la méthode est appelée.

Le programme inclut une méthode qui répertorie les informations sur un type générique, et une méthode qui répertorie les contraintes spéciales sur un paramètre de type. Ces méthodes sont utilisées pour afficher des informations sur la classe Sample finie.

Le programme enregistre le module fini sur le disque en tant que GenericEmitExample1.dll. Ainsi, vous pouvez l’ouvrir avec Ildasm.exe (désassembleur IL) et examiner le code CIL de la classe Sample.

   // Emit the method body. 
   // The method body consists of just three opcodes, to load 
   // the input array onto the execution stack, to call the 
   // List<TFirst> constructor that takes IEnumerable<TFirst>,
   // which does all the work of putting the input elements into
   // the list, and to return, leaving the list on the stack. The
   // hard work is getting the constructor.
   // 
   // The GetConstructor method is not supported on a 
   // GenericTypeParameterBuilder, so it is not possible to get 
   // the constructor of List<TFirst> directly. There are two
   // steps, first getting the constructor of generic<T> List and then
   // calling a method that converts it to the corresponding 
   // constructor of List<TFirst>.
   //
   // The constructor needed here is the one that takes an
   // IEnumerable<T>. Note, however, that this is not the 
   // generic type definition of generic<T> IEnumerable; instead, the
   // T from generic<T> List must be substituted for the T of 
   // generic<T> IEnumerable. (This seems confusing only because both
   // types have type parameters named T. That is why this example
   // uses the somewhat silly names TFirst and TSecond.) To get
   // the type of the constructor argument, take the generic
   // type definition generic<T> IEnumerable and 
   // call MakeGenericType with the first generic type parameter
   // of generic<T> List. The constructor argument list must be passed
   // as an array, with just one argument in this case.
   // 
   // Now it is possible to get the constructor of generic<T> List,
   // using GetConstructor on the generic type definition. To get
   // the constructor of List<TFirst>, pass List<TFirst> and
   // the constructor from generic<T> List to the static
   // TypeBuilder.GetConstructor method.
