为什么我不能返回任意数组的字符串?

标签: arrays delphi delphi-xe3

编译器允许我执行以下操作:

procedure MyProc(const ADynData: array of string);

procedure MyProc(const ADynData: TStringDynArray);

并传递任意数据:

MyProc(['Data1', 'Data2']);

但是,不允许

function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
....
function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
begin
    Result := ['Data1', 'Data2'];
end;

function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
const
    CDynData: array[0..1] of string = ('Data1', 'Data2');
begin
    Result := CDynData;
end;

这是为什么?这技术上不是一回事吗?

对于这些特定场景,返回任意数组字符串的推荐(和最有效)方法是什么?

3 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:10)

不,这不是一回事。在

procedure MyProc(const ADynData: array of string);

参数是open array parameter,它与'普通'动态数组不同。 [..]语法只能用于在函数的开放数组参数中创建开放数组。 (否则,[..]用于在代码中指定,例如Font.Style := [fsBold, fsItalic]。但sets只能将序数类型作为其“基本类型”,因此仍然没有'字符串集'这样的东西。)

换句话说,无法在代码中编写动态数组,就像在第二个代码段中尝试一样,

function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
begin
  result := ['Data1', 'Data2']; // Won't work.
end;

但是,在Delphi的新版本中,它几乎是可能的:

type
  TStringDynArray = array of string;

function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
begin
  result := TStringDynArray.Create('A', 'B');
end;

最后,

function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
const
  CDynData: array[0..1] of string = ('Data1', 'Data2');
begin
  result := CDynData;
end;

不起作用,因为TStringDynArraydynamic array,而CDynDatastatic array,这是两种不同的基本类型。

此构造

['string1', 'string2'] 

被称为open array constructor。来自documentation

  

Open数组构造函数允许您直接在函数和过程调用中构造数组。

     

它们只能作为开放数组参数或变量打开数组参数传递。

因此,您不能使用开放数组构造函数来创建函数返回值。


如果数组中有固定数量的元素需要返回,则可以使用动态数组构造函数:

Result := TStringDynArray.Create('string1', 'string2');

但是,这对于可变数量的元素不起作用。现在,我知道你的问题中的例子只有数组中恒定数量的元素。但我相信你会遇到需要比动态数组构造函数更灵活的情况。

如果您希望创建现有动态数组的副本并将其返回,请使用Copy

Result := Copy(SomeOtherDynamicArray);

当你手头有一个打开的数组时会出现故障。您无法将打开的数组传递给Copy。就个人而言,我认为这是一个耻辱,因为开放数组参数非常灵活和有用,我希望尽可能多地看到RTL支持。

因此,您最终必须为这些情况编写辅助函数。你可以为每种数组类型编写一个专用的帮助器,但这有点令人厌烦。这就是仿制药派上用场的地方。我有一个辅助课程。这是相关的摘录:

type
  TArray = class(Generics.Collections.TArray)
    ....
    class function Copy<T>(const Source: array of T): TArray<T>; overload; static;
    ....
  end;

class function TArray.Copy<T>(const Source: array of T): TArray<T>;
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  SetLength(Result, Length(Source));
  for i := 0 to high(Result) do begin
    Result[i] := Source[i];
  end;
end;

现在,这适用于您的字符串数组,但也适用于任何其他类型。这样称呼:

Result := TArray.Copy<string>(SomeStringOpenArray);

要做的一个关键点是我们使用动态数组的通用版本TArray<string>而不是TStringDynArray。如果你想认真使用泛型,那么你必须这样做。这是因为TStringDynArrayTArray<string>或其他任何声明为array of string的类型不兼容。将红色代码库更改为始终使用TArray<T>会带来好处。

答案 2 :(得分:2)

的问题
function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
begin
  Result := ['Data1', 'Data2'];
end;

['Data1', 'Data2']被解释为set

我有时使用以下便利功能(但通常不在性能关键部分):

function MakeStringArray(const Strings: array of string): TStringDynArray;
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  SetLength(Result, Length(Strings));
  for i := Low(Strings) to High(Strings) do
    Result[i] := Strings[i];
end {MakeStringArray};

使用它,你可以按如下方式重写你的第一个例子:

function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
....
function MyFunc: TStringDynArray;
begin
    Result := MakeStringArray(['Data1', 'Data2']);
end;

但是,由于您使用的是XE3,因此最好使用TStringDynArray.Create,例如Andreas Rejbrand suggests
