LSP关注不变量。

经典示例由以下伪代码声明给出(实现略):

class Rectangle {
    int getHeight()
    void setHeight(int value) {
        postcondition: width didn’t change
    }
    int getWidth()
    void setWidth(int value) {
        postcondition: height didn’t change
    }
}

class Square extends Rectangle { }

现在我们有一个问题，尽管接口匹配。原因是我们违反了源自正方形和矩形数学定义的不变量。getter和setter的工作方式，矩形应该满足以下不变量:

void invariant(Rectangle r) {
    r.setHeight(200)
    r.setWidth(100)
    assert(r.getHeight() == 200 and r.getWidth() == 100)
}

然而，Square的正确实现必须违反这个不变量(以及显式后置条件)，因此它不是Rectangle的有效替代品。

利斯科夫替换原理

被重写的方法不应该保持为空 被重写的方法不应该抛出错误 基类或接口行为不应该因为派生类行为而进行修改(重做)。

Liskov's Substitution Principle(LSP) All the time we design a program module and we create some class hierarchies. Then we extend some classes creating some derived classes. We must make sure that the new derived classes just extend without replacing the functionality of old classes. Otherwise, the new classes can produce undesired effects when they are used in existing program modules. Liskov's Substitution Principle states that if a program module is using a Base class, then the reference to the Base class can be replaced with a Derived class without affecting the functionality of the program module.

例子:

Below is the classic example for which the Liskov's Substitution Principle is violated. In the example, 2 classes are used: Rectangle and Square. Let's assume that the Rectangle object is used somewhere in the application. We extend the application and add the Square class. The square class is returned by a factory pattern, based on some conditions and we don't know the exact what type of object will be returned. But we know it's a Rectangle. We get the rectangle object, set the width to 5 and height to 10 and get the area. For a rectangle with width 5 and height 10, the area should be 50. Instead, the result will be 100

    // Violation of Likov's Substitution Principle
class Rectangle {
    protected int m_width;
    protected int m_height;

    public void setWidth(int width) {
        m_width = width;
    }

    public void setHeight(int height) {
        m_height = height;
    }

    public int getWidth() {
        return m_width;
    }

    public int getHeight() {
        return m_height;
    }

    public int getArea() {
        return m_width * m_height;
    }
}

class Square extends Rectangle {
    public void setWidth(int width) {
        m_width = width;
        m_height = width;
    }

    public void setHeight(int height) {
        m_width = height;
        m_height = height;
    }

}

class LspTest {
    private static Rectangle getNewRectangle() {
        // it can be an object returned by some factory ...
        return new Square();
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Rectangle r = LspTest.getNewRectangle();

        r.setWidth(5);
        r.setHeight(10);
        // user knows that r it's a rectangle.
        // It assumes that he's able to set the width and height as for the base
        // class

        System.out.println(r.getArea());
        // now he's surprised to see that the area is 100 instead of 50.
    }
}

结论: 这个原则只是开闭原则的延伸 意味着我们必须确保新的派生类正在扩展 基类而不改变它们的行为。

参见:开闭原则

对于更好的结构，还有一些类似的概念:约定优于配置

该原则由Barbara Liskov在1987年提出，并通过关注超类及其子类型的行为来扩展开闭原则。

当我们考虑违反它的后果时，它的重要性就变得显而易见了。考虑一个使用以下类的应用程序。

public class Rectangle 
{ 
  private double width;

  private double height; 

  public double Width 
  { 
    get 
    { 
      return width; 
    } 
    set 
    { 
      width = value; 
    }
  } 

  public double Height 
  { 
    get 
    { 
      return height; 
    } 
    set 
    { 
      height = value; 
    } 
  } 
}

想象一下，有一天，客户要求除了矩形之外还能操作正方形。因为正方形是矩形，所以square类应该派生自rectangle类。

public class Square : Rectangle
{
} 

然而，这样做会遇到两个问题:

一个正方形不需要从矩形继承高度和宽度变量，如果我们必须创建成千上万个正方形对象，这可能会造成严重的内存浪费。 从矩形继承的width和height setter属性不适用于正方形，因为正方形的宽度和高度是相同的。 为了将height和width设置为相同的值，我们可以创建两个新属性，如下所示:

public class Square : Rectangle
{
  public double SetWidth 
  { 
    set 
    { 
      base.Width = value; 
      base.Height = value; 
    } 
  } 

  public double SetHeight 
  { 
    set 
    { 
      base.Height = value; 
      base.Width = value; 
    } 
  } 
}

现在，当有人设置一个正方形物体的宽度时，它的高度将相应地改变，反之亦然。

Square s = new Square(); 
s.SetWidth(1); // Sets width and height to 1. 
s.SetHeight(2); // sets width and height to 2. 

让我们继续考虑另一个函数:

public void A(Rectangle r) 
{ 
  r.SetWidth(32); // calls Rectangle.SetWidth 
} 

如果我们将一个方形对象的引用传递给这个函数，我们将违反LSP，因为该函数对其参数的导数不起作用。属性width和height不是多态的，因为它们在矩形中没有被声明为虚的(正方形对象将被损坏，因为高度不会被改变)。

然而，通过将setter属性声明为virtual，我们将面临另一个违反，即OCP。事实上，派生类正方形的创建会导致基类矩形的变化。

假设我们在代码中使用了一个矩形

r = new Rectangle();
// ...
r.setDimensions(1,2);
r.fill(colors.red());
canvas.draw(r);

在几何课上，我们学过正方形是一种特殊类型的矩形，因为它的长宽相等。让我们根据下面的信息创建一个Square类:

class Square extends Rectangle {
    setDimensions(width, height){
        assert(width == height);
        super.setDimensions(width, height);
    }
} 

如果我们在第一个代码中将矩形替换为正方形，那么它将会中断:

r = new Square();
// ...
r.setDimensions(1,2); // assertion width == height failed
r.fill(colors.red());
canvas.draw(r);

这是因为正方形有一个我们在矩形类中没有的新前提条件:width == height。根据LSP，矩形实例应该被矩形子类实例替代。这是因为这些实例通过了矩形实例的类型检查，因此它们将在代码中导致意外错误。

这是wiki文章中“在子类型中不能加强先决条件”部分的一个例子。因此，总而言之，违反LSP可能会在某些时候导致代码错误。

我想每个人都了解LSP在技术上是什么:你基本上希望能够从子类型细节中抽象出来，并安全地使用超类型。

所以利斯科夫有3条基本规则:

Signature Rule : There should be a valid implementation of every operation of the supertype in the subtype syntactically. Something a compiler will be able to check for you. There is a little rule about throwing fewer exceptions and being at least as accessible as the supertype methods. Methods Rule: The implementation of those operations is semantically sound. Weaker Preconditions : The subtype functions should take at least what the supertype took as input, if not more. Stronger Postconditions: They should produce a subset of the output the supertype methods produced. Properties Rule : This goes beyond individual function calls. Invariants : Things that are always true must remain true. Eg. a Set's size is never negative. Evolutionary Properties : Usually something to do with immutability or the kind of states the object can be in. Or maybe the object only grows and never shrinks so the subtype methods shouldn't make it.

所有这些属性都需要保留，并且额外的子类型功能不应该违反超类型属性。

如果这三件事都处理好了，那么您就从底层的东西中抽象出来了，并且您正在编写松散耦合的代码。
