泛型方法的删除

Java 编译器还会擦除泛型方法参数中的类型参数。考虑以下泛型方法:

// Counts the number of occurrences of elem in anArray.
//
public static <T> int count(T[] anArray, T elem) {
    int cnt = 0;
    for (T e : anArray)
        if (e.equals(elem))
            ++cnt;
        return cnt;
}

由于T是无界的,因此 Java 编译器将其替换为Object

public static int count(Object[] anArray, Object elem) {
    int cnt = 0;
    for (Object e : anArray)
        if (e.equals(elem))
            ++cnt;
        return cnt;
}

假设定义了以下类:

class Shape { /* ... */ }
class Circle extends Shape { /* ... */ }
class Rectangle extends Shape { /* ... */ }

您可以编写一个泛型方法来绘制不同的形状:

public static <T extends Shape> void draw(T shape) { /* ... */ }

Java 编译器将T替换为Shape

public static void draw(Shape shape) { /* ... */ }
