我正在研究如何在复杂的类层次结构中使用类型类实例来检查方法的类型正确性。该问题与previous post有关,但与paper不同。
BoatHouses
和HouseBoats
类位于类层次结构的底部,因此需要先存在超类的实例,然后才能实例化它们。当我尝试为这些类构造实例时,我发现必须添加72个实例才能满足编译器的要求。我首先尝试为BoatHouses
和HouseBoats
创建实例,然后遵循编译器消息来了解需要实例化哪些其他类,从而得出数字72。在下面的 Listing 1 (省略大多数方法签名)和 Listing 2 之下,有13种数据类型,14种类,45个类型变量。这段代码基于{{3}},但是实际的细节和目的对于我的问题并不重要。
问题
要键入在复杂类格的下端指定的检查方法,是否真的有必要实例化所有编译器建议的类?
