super()导致NullPointerException

在我读梁书的时候,我陷入了困境,我不明白发生了什么。错误的原因是MyArrayList类的构造函数。作者警告我们不要称超级(对象),但他们没有解释原因。现在,当我尝试运行代码时,作者是对的 - 当我们调用super(object)时,我得到一个错误。这个错误的原因是什么?

MyArrayList.java

public class MyArrayList<E> extends MyAbstractList<E> {
  public static final int INITIAL_CAPACITY = 16;
  private E[] data = (E[])new Object[INITIAL_CAPACITY];

  /** Create a default list */

  }

  /** Create a list from an array of objects */
  public MyArrayList(E[] objects) {
    /*for (int i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
     add(objects[i]); // Warning: don't use super(objects)! */
     super(objects);  //!!! AUTHOR WARNS US ABOUT NOT INVOKING THIS LINE !!!
  }

  /** Add a new element at the specified index in this list */
  public void add(int index, E e) {
    ensureCapacity();

    // Move the elements to the right after the specified index
    for (int i = size - 1; i >= index; i--)
      data[i + 1] = data[i];

    // Insert new element to data[index]
    data[index] = e;

    // Increase size by 1
    size++;
  }

  /** Create a new larger array, double the current size */
  private void ensureCapacity() {
    if (size >= data.length) {
      E[] newData = (E[])(new Object[size * 2 + 1]);

  public E get(int index) {
    return data[index];
  }

  /** Return the index of the first matching element in this list.

  public int indexOf(E e) {

  public int lastIndexOf(E e) {
    for (int i = size - 1; i >= 0; i--)

    return -1;
  }

  /** Remove the element at the specified position in this list
   *  Shift any subsequent elements to the left.
   *  Return the element that was removed from the list. */
  public E remove(int index) {
    E e = data[index];

    // Shift data to the left
    for (int j = index; j < size - 1; j++)
      data[j] = data[j + 1];

    data[size - 1] = null; // This element is now null

    // Decrement size
    size--;

    return e;
  }

  /** Replace the element at the specified position in this list
   *  with the specified element. */
  public E set(int index, E e) {
    E old = data[index];

    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
      result.append(data[i]);
      if (i < size - 1) result.append(", ");
    }

    return result.toString() + "]";
  }

  /** Trims the capacity to current size */
  public void trimToSize() {
    if (size != data.length) { // If size == capacity, no need to trim
      E[] newData = (E[])(new Object[size]);
      System.arraycopy(data, 0, newData, 0, size);
      data = newData;
    }
  }
}

MyList.java

public interface MyList<E> {

  /** Return the number of elements in this list */
  public int size();
}

MyAbstractList.java

public abstract class MyAbstractList<E> implements MyList<E> {
  protected int size = 0; // The size of the list

  /** Create a default list */
  protected MyAbstractList() {
  }

  /** Create a list from an array of objects */

  /** Return true if this list contains no elements */
  public boolean isEmpty() {

  }

  /** Return the number of elements in this list */
  public int size() {
    return size;
  }

  /** Remove the first occurrence of the element o from this list.
   *  Shift any subsequent elements to the left.
   *  Return true if the element is removed. */
  public boolean remove(E e) {
    if (indexOf(e) >= 0) {
      remove(indexOf(e));
      return true;
    }
    else
      return false;
  }
}

TestMyArrayList.java

public class TestMyArrayList {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String[] str = {"manisa","turkey","germany"};

        MyList<String> list = new MyArrayList<String>(str);

        list.add("America");
        list.add(0,"Canada");
        list.add(1,"England");
        System.out.println(list);
    }
}

以下是错误代码:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at MyArrayList.ensureCapacity(MyArrayList.java:36)
    at MyArrayList.add(MyArrayList.java:21)
    at MyAbstractList.add(MyAbstractList.java:16)

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:3)

这里的问题是MyAbstractList中的构造函数在add初始化之前正在调用data

data类中声明并初始化MyArrayList字段。但是,在超类初始化完成之后,初始化才会发生,并且在超类初始化期间进行add调用... data仍然是null {1}}。

这里的一般问题是构造函数调用可能被子类覆盖的方法是危险的。在子类初始化发生之前,可能会调用override方法。

在这种情况下,add(E)可以被覆盖。更糟糕的是,add(E)调用add(E, int),它肯定会被覆盖,因为它在超类中是抽象的。

答案 1 :(得分:3)

让我们将代码简化为基本要素:

public abstract class MyAbstractList<E> {
  protected int size = 0; // The size of the list

  protected MyAbstractList() {}

  protected MyAbstractList(E[] objects) {
    for (int i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
      add(objects[i]);
}
public class MyArrayList<E> extends MyAbstractList<E> {
  public static final int INITIAL_CAPACITY = 16;
  private E[] data = (E[])new Object[INITIAL_CAPACITY];

  public MyArrayList(E[] objects) {
     super(objects); // this call to super() executes before data is initialized
  }
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
  String[] str = {"manisa","turkey","germany"};
  MyList<String> list = new MyArrayList<String>(str);
}

要理解的重要一点是父母班级&#39;在子类被初始化之前调用构造函数(这就是为什么super()必须始终是构造函数中的第一个调用),这意味着当MyAbstractList的构造函数正在运行时{{1仍然是data

null调用替换为其内容意味着super()循环在for初始化时执行, MyArrayList正确设置后执行

本质上,问题是data提供了一个构造函数,该构造函数调用将被子类重写的方法,这是一种严重的反模式。 MyAbstractList不应该提供add-all样式构造函数。

有关更多信息,请参阅有效Java项目17,其中注明:

  

构造函数不得直接或间接调用可覆盖的方法。如果违反此规则,将导致程序失败。超类构造函数在子类构造函数之前运行,因此在子类构造函数运行之前将调用子类中的重写方法。如果重写方法依赖于子类构造函数执行的任何初始化,则该方法将不会按预期运行。
