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。

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.

其他回答

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。

对我来说,对var的反感说明了。net中双语的重要性。对于那些使用过VB . net的c#程序员来说,var的优势是显而易见的。标准的c#声明:

List<string> whatever = new List<string>();

在VB .NET中,相当于键入:

Dim whatever As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)

不过,在VB . net中没有人这样做。这样做是愚蠢的,因为从。net的第一个版本开始,你就可以这样做了…

Dim whatever As New List(Of String)

...它创建变量并在一个相当紧凑的行中初始化它。啊,但是如果你想要一个IList<string>,而不是一个List<string>?在VB .NET中,这意味着你必须这样做:

Dim whatever As IList(Of String) = New List(Of String)

就像你在c#中必须做的那样,显然不能使用var:

IList<string> whatever = new List<string>();

如果您需要不同的类型,它可以是。但优秀编程的基本原则之一是减少冗余,这正是var所做的。

@Keith -

在你们的比较中 IEnumerable < int > IEnumerable<double>你不需要 担心——如果你传递了错误的类型 您的代码无论如何都无法编译。

这并不完全正确——如果一个方法同时重载到IEnumerable<int>和IEnumerable<double>,那么它可能会无声地将意外推断的类型(由于程序中的其他一些更改)传递给错误的重载,从而导致不正确的行为。

我想问题是这种情况出现的可能性有多大!

我猜部分问题是var给给定的声明增加了多少混乱——如果不清楚某个东西是什么类型(尽管它是强类型的,编译器完全理解它是什么类型),有人可能会掩盖一个类型安全错误,或者至少需要更长的时间来理解一段代码。

这次讨论有点晚了,但我想补充一点想法。

对于所有反对类型推断的人(因为这就是我们在这里真正谈论的内容),lambda表达式呢?如果坚持始终显式地声明类型(匿名类型除外),那么如何使用lambdas呢?“不要让我使用鼠标悬停”参数如何适用于var而不是lambdas?

更新

我刚刚想到了一个反对“var”的论点,我认为没有人提到过,那就是它“破坏”了“找到所有引用”,这可能意味着(例如)如果你在重构之前检查一个类的使用情况,你会错过类通过var使用的所有地方。
