Comment : définir un type générique avec émission de réflexion

Mise à jour : novembre 2007

Cette rubrique 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 enfin comment créer des membres qui utilisent les paramètres de type de la classe comme types de paramètre et types de retour.

Remarque importante :

Une méthode n'est pas générique simplement parce qu'elle appartient à un type générique et utilise les paramètres de type de ce type. Une méthode est générique uniquement si elle possède 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 Comment : définir une méthode générique avec émission de réflexion.

Pour définir un type générique

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

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

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

    Dim myType As TypeBuilder = myModule.DefineType( _
        "Sample", _
        TypeAttributes.Public)
    
    TypeBuilder myType = 
        myModule.DefineType("Sample", TypeAttributes.Public);
    
    TypeBuilder^ myType = myModule->DefineType( L"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, lesquels peuvent être utilisés dans le code que vous avez émis.

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

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

    TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes( _
        GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint _
        Or GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint)
    
    TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes(
        GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint |
        GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint);
    
    TFirst->SetGenericParameterAttributes( 
        GenericParameterAttributes::DefaultConstructorConstraint | 
        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. Consultez l'exemple de code relatif à la déclaration et à l'assignation de ces variables.

    TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType)
    Dim interfaceTypes() As Type = {interfaceA, interfaceB}
    TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes)
    
    TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType);
    Type[] interfaceTypes = {interfaceA, interfaceB};
    TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes);
    
    array<Type^>^interfaceTypes = { interfaceA, interfaceB };
    TSecond->SetInterfaceConstraints( interfaceTypes );
    TSecond->SetBaseTypeConstraint( baseType );
    
  7. Définissez un champ. Dans cet exemple, le type du champ est spécifié par le paramètre de type TFirst. GenericTypeParameterBuilder étant dérivé de Type, vous pouvez utiliser des paramètres de type générique partout où il est possible d'utiliser un type.

    Dim exField As FieldBuilder = _
        myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, _
            FieldAttributes.Private)
    
    FieldBuilder exField = 
        myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, 
            FieldAttributes.Private);
    
    FieldBuilder^ exField = 
        myType->DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, 
            FieldAttributes::Private);
    
  8. Définissez une méthode qui utilise les paramètres de type du type générique. Notez que de telles méthodes ne sont pas génériques, sauf si elles possèdent 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, il est nécessaire de créer le type List<TFirst> en appelant MakeGenericType sur la définition de type générique, List<T>. (T est omis lorsque vous utilisez l'opérateur typeof (GetType en Visual Basic) pour obtenir la définition de type générique.) Le type de paramètres est créé en utilisant la méthode MakeArrayType.

    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)
    
    Type listOf = typeof(List<>);
    Type listOfTFirst = listOf.MakeGenericType(TFirst);
    Type[] mParamTypes = {TFirst.MakeArrayType()};
    
    MethodBuilder exMethod = 
        myType.DefineMethod("ExampleMethod", 
            MethodAttributes.Public | MethodAttributes.Static, 
            listOfTFirst, 
            mParamTypes);
    
    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);
    
  9. Émettez le corps de la 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 prend IEnumerable<TFirst> (lequel se charge de placer les éléments d'entrée dans la liste) et sont retournés (en laissant le nouvel objet List<T> sur la pile). Dans l'émission de ce code, la difficulté consiste à obtenir le constructeur.

    La méthode GetConstructor n'étant pas prise en charge sur un GenericTypeParameterBuilder, il n'est pas possible d'obtenir directement le constructeur de List<TFirst>. Tout d'abord, il est nécessaire d'obtenir le constructeur de la définition de type générique List<T>, puis d'appeler une méthode qui le convertit en constructeur correspondant de List<TFirst>.

    Le constructeur utilisé pour cet exemple de code prend 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 être substitué au paramètre de type T de IEnumerable<T>. (Cela peut sembler confus, mais c'est uniquement parce que les deux types possèdent 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 de constructeur, commencez avec la définition de type générique IEnumerable<T> et appelez MakeGenericType avec le premier paramètre de type générique de List<T>. La liste d'arguments de constructeur doit être passée en tant que tableau, avec un seul argument dans le cas présent.

    Remarque :

    La définition de type générique est exprimée en tant que IEnumerable<> lorsque vous utilisez l'opérateur typeof en C#, ou en tant que IEnumerable(Of ) lorsque 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>, passez List<TFirst> et le constructeur de List<T> à la méthode statique TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(Type, ConstructorInfo).

    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)
    
    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);
    
    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);
    
  10. Créez le type et enregistrez le fichier.

    Dim finished As Type = myType.CreateType()
    myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name & ".dll")
    
    Type finished = myType.CreateType();
    myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name+".dll");
    
    Type^ finished = myType->CreateType();
    myAssembly->Save( String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );
    
  11. Appelez la méthode. ExampleMethod n'est pas générique, mais le type auquel il appartient est générique. Dès lors, 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, laquelle satisfait aux contraintes sur TFirst puisqu'il s'agit d'un type référence et qu'elle possède un constructeur sans paramètre par défaut, ainsi que la classe ExampleDerived qui satisfait aux contraintes sur TSecond. (Vous pouvez consulter le code de ExampleDerived dans la section de l'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.

    Dim typeArgs() As Type = _
        { GetType(Example), GetType(ExampleDerived) }
    Dim constructed As Type = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs)
    Dim mi As MethodInfo = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod")
    
    Type[] typeArgs = {typeof(Example), typeof(ExampleDerived)};
    Type constructed = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
    MethodInfo mi = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
    
    array<Type^>^ typeArgs = 
        { Example::typeid, ExampleDerived::typeid };
    Type^ constructed = finished->MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
    MethodInfo^ mi = 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, array<Object[]). Le premier argument de la méthode Invoke est une référence null car la méthode est static.

    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 _ 
    )
    
    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);
    
    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);
    

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 la classe Sample, et la change ainsi en type générique. Les paramètres de type sont les seuls éléments qui rendent un type générique. Le programme illustre cela en affichant un message de test avant et après la définition des paramètres de type.

Le paramètre de type TSecond est utilisé pour illustrer les contraintes de classe et d'interface, à l'aide de la classe de base et des interfaces, et le paramètre de type TFirst est utilisé pour 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, pour le paramètre et pour le type de retour de la méthode.

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

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

Le programme enregistre le module fini sur le disque en tant que GenericEmitExample1.dll. Vous pouvez donc l'ouvrir avec le désassembleur MSIL Disassembler (Ildasm.exe) et examiner le code MSIL pour la classe Sample.

        ' Emit the method body. 
        ' The method body consists of just three opcodes, to load

        ' 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(Of TFirst) directly. There are two
        ' steps, first getting the constructor of List(Of T) and then
        ' calling a method that converts it to the corresponding 
        ' constructor of List(Of TFirst).
        '
        ' The constructor needed here is the one that takes an
        ' IEnumerable(Of T). Note, however, that this is not the 
        ' generic type definition of IEnumerable(Of T); instead, the
        ' T from List(Of T) must be substituted for the T of 
        ' IEnumerable(Of T). (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 IEnumerable(Of T) (expressed as 
        ' IEnumerable(Of ) when you use the GetType operator) and 
        ' call MakeGenericType with the first generic type parameter

        ' as an array, with just one argument in this case.
        ' 
        ' Now it is possible to get the constructor of List(Of T),
        ' using GetConstructor on the generic type definition. To get
        ' the constructor of List(Of TFirst), pass List(Of TFirst) and
        ' the constructor from List(Of T) to the static
