Ruby中的懒惰评估

我有Ruby的情况,可能需要创建一个对象,但它不确定。由于对象的创建可能代价高昂,因此我并不急于创建它。我认为这是延迟加载的明显案例。如何定义仅在有人向其发送消息时才创建的对象?该对象将在块中创建。有没有办法在Ruby中进行简单的延迟加载/初始化?这些东西是否支持这些东西,它们为各种懒惰的对象初始化提供了不同的解决方案?谢谢你的建议!

有两种方式。

首先是让调用者处理延迟对象的创建。这是最简单的解决方案,它是Ruby代码中的非常常见的模式

class ExpensiveObject
  def initialize
    # Expensive stuff here.
  end
end

class Caller
  def some_method
    my_object.do_something
  end

  def my_object
    # Expensive object is created when my_object is called. Subsequent calls
    # will return the same object.
    @my_object ||= ExpensiveObject.new
  end
end

第二个选项是让对象懒洋洋地初始化。我们围绕实际对象创建一个委托对象来实现这一目标。这种方法有点棘手,不推荐使用,除非您有现有的无法修改的调用代码,例如。

class ExpensiveObject        # Delegate
  class RealExpensiveObject  # Actual object
    def initialize
      # Expensive stuff here.
    end

    # More methods...
  end

  def initialize(*args)
    @init_args = args
  end

  def method_missing(method, *args)
    # Delegate to expensive object. __object method will create the expensive
    # object if necessary.
    __object__.send(method, *args)
  end

  def __object__
    @object ||= RealExpensiveObject.new(*@init_args)
  end
end

# This will only create the wrapper object (cheap).
obj = ExpensiveObject.new

# Only when the first message is sent will the internal object be initialised.
obj.do_something

你也可以使用stdlib delegate来构建它。

如果您想懒洋洋地评估一些代码,请使用代理:

class LazyProxy

  # blank slate... (use BasicObject in Ruby 1.9)
  instance_methods.each do |method| 
    undef_method(method) unless method =~ /^__/
  end

  def initialize(&lazy_proxy_block)
    @lazy_proxy_block = lazy_proxy_block
  end

  def method_missing(method, *args, &block)
    @lazy_proxy_obj ||= @lazy_proxy_block.call # evaluate the real receiver
    @lazy_proxy_obj.send(method, *args, &block) # delegate unknown methods to the real receiver
  end
end

然后你就这样使用它:

expensive_object = LazyProxy.new { ExpensiveObject.new }
expensive_object.do_something

您可以使用此代码对昂贵的东西进行任意复杂的初始化:

expensive_object = LazyProxy.new do
  expensive_helper = ExpensiveHelper.new
  do_really_expensive_stuff_with(expensive_helper)
  ExpensiveObject.new(:using => expensive_helper)
end
expensive_object.do_something

它是如何工作的?您实例化一个LazyProxy对象,该对象包含有关如何在Proc中构建一些昂贵对象的说明。如果然后在代理对象上调用某个方法,它首先实例化昂贵的对象,然后将方法调用委托给它。
