Artículo
04/04/2024

En este artículo se muestra cómo crear un tipo genérico simple con dos parámetros de tipo, cómo aplicar restricciones de clase, restricciones de interfaz y restricciones especiales a los parámetros de tipo, y cómo crear miembros que usen los parámetros de tipo de la clase como tipos de parámetro y tipos de valor devuelto.

Importante

Un método no es genérico sólo porque pertenece a un tipo genérico y utiliza los parámetros de tipo de ese tipo genérico. Un método sólo es genérico si tiene su propia lista de parámetros de tipo. La mayoría de los métodos de los tipos genéricos no son genéricos, como en este ejemplo. Para obtener un ejemplo de emisión de un método genérico, vea Procedimiento para definir un tipo genérico con emisión de reflexión.

Definir un tipo genérico

Defina un ensamblado dinámico denominado GenericEmitExample1. En este ejemplo, el ensamblado se ha ejecutado y guardado en el disco, por lo que se especifica AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave.

AppDomain^ myDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
AssemblyName^ myAsmName = gcnew AssemblyName( L"GenericEmitExample1" );
AssemblyBuilder^ myAssembly = myDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly( 
    myAsmName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave );

AppDomain myDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
AssemblyName myAsmName = new AssemblyName("GenericEmitExample1");
AssemblyBuilder myAssembly =
    myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(myAsmName,
        AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave);

Dim myDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
Dim myAsmName As New AssemblyName("GenericEmitExample1")
Dim myAssembly As AssemblyBuilder = myDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly( _
    myAsmName, _
    AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave)

Defina un módulo dinámico. Un ensamblado se compone de módulos ejecutables. En el caso de un ensamblado de un solo módulo, el nombre del módulo es el mismo que el nombre del ensamblado y el nombre del archivo es el nombre del módulo más una extensión.

ModuleBuilder^ myModule = myAssembly->DefineDynamicModule( 
    myAsmName->Name, String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );

ModuleBuilder myModule =
    myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule(myAsmName.Name,
       myAsmName.Name + ".dll");

Dim myModule As ModuleBuilder = myAssembly.DefineDynamicModule( _
    myAsmName.Name, _
    myAsmName.Name & ".dll")

Defina una clase. En este ejemplo, la clase se denomina Sample.

TypeBuilder^ myType = myModule->DefineType( L"Sample", 
    TypeAttributes::Public );

TypeBuilder myType =
    myModule.DefineType("Sample", TypeAttributes.Public);

Dim myType As TypeBuilder = myModule.DefineType( _
    "Sample", _
    TypeAttributes.Public)

Defina los parámetros de tipo genérico de Sample pasando una matriz de cadenas que contienen los nombres de los parámetros al método TypeBuilder.DefineGenericParameters. Esto convierte a la clase en un tipo genérico. El valor devuelto es una matriz de objetos GenericTypeParameterBuilder que representan los parámetros de tipo y que se pueden usar en el código emitido.

En el código siguiente, Sample se convierte en un tipo genérico con parámetros de tipo TFirst y TSecond. Para que el código sea más fácil de leer, cada GenericTypeParameterBuilder se coloca en una variable con el mismo nombre que el parámetro de tipo.

array<String^>^typeParamNames = {L"TFirst",L"TSecond"};
array<GenericTypeParameterBuilder^>^typeParams = 
    myType->DefineGenericParameters( typeParamNames );

GenericTypeParameterBuilder^ TFirst = typeParams[0];
GenericTypeParameterBuilder^ TSecond = typeParams[1];

string[] typeParamNames = {"TFirst", "TSecond"};
GenericTypeParameterBuilder[] typeParams =
    myType.DefineGenericParameters(typeParamNames);

GenericTypeParameterBuilder TFirst = typeParams[0];
GenericTypeParameterBuilder TSecond = typeParams[1];

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)

Agregue restricciones especiales a los parámetros de tipo. En este ejemplo, el parámetro de tipo TFirst está restringido a tipos que tienen constructores sin parámetros y a tipos de referencia.

TFirst->SetGenericParameterAttributes( 
    GenericParameterAttributes::DefaultConstructorConstraint | 
    GenericParameterAttributes::ReferenceTypeConstraint 
);

TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes(
    GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint |
    GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint);

TFirst.SetGenericParameterAttributes( _
    GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint _
    Or GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint)

También tiene la opción de agregar restricciones de clase y de interfaz a los parámetros de tipo. En este ejemplo, el parámetro de tipo TFirst está restringido a tipos que derivan de la clase base representada por el objeto Type incluido en la variable baseType y que implementan las interfaces cuyos tipos están incluidos en las variables interfaceA y interfaceB. Vea en el ejemplo de código la declaración y la asignación de estas variables.
```
array<Type^>^interfaceTypes = { interfaceA, interfaceB };
TSecond->SetInterfaceConstraints( interfaceTypes );
TSecond->SetBaseTypeConstraint( baseType );
```
```
TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType);
Type[] interfaceTypes = {interfaceA, interfaceB};
TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes);
```
```
TSecond.SetBaseTypeConstraint(baseType)
Dim interfaceTypes() As Type = {interfaceA, interfaceB}
TSecond.SetInterfaceConstraints(interfaceTypes)
```

Defina un campo. En este ejemplo, el tipo del campo es especificado por el parámetro de tipo TFirst. GenericTypeParameterBuilder deriva de Type, por lo que puede usar parámetros de tipo genérico en cualquier lugar en que se pueda usar un tipo.

FieldBuilder^ exField = 
    myType->DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, 
        FieldAttributes::Private);

FieldBuilder exField =
    myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst,
        FieldAttributes.Private);

Dim exField As FieldBuilder = _
    myType.DefineField("ExampleField", TFirst, _
        FieldAttributes.Private)

Defina un método que use los parámetros del tipo genérico. Tenga en cuenta que estos métodos no son genéricos a menos que tengan sus propias listas de parámetros de tipo. El código siguiente define un método static (Shared en Visual Basic) que toma una matriz de TFirst y devuelve un tipo List<TFirst> (List(Of TFirst) en Visual Basic) que contiene todos los elementos de la matriz. Para definir este método, es necesario crear el tipo List<TFirst>. Para ello, se llama a MakeGenericType en la definición de tipo genérico, List<T>. (T se omite cuando se usa el operador typeof [GetType en Visual Basic] para obtener la definición de tipo genérico). El tipo de parámetro se crea con el método MakeArrayType.

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);

Type listOf = typeof(List<>);
Type listOfTFirst = listOf.MakeGenericType(TFirst);
Type[] mParamTypes = {TFirst.MakeArrayType()};

MethodBuilder exMethod =
    myType.DefineMethod("ExampleMethod",
        MethodAttributes.Public | MethodAttributes.Static,
        listOfTFirst,
        mParamTypes);

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)

Emita el cuerpo del método. El cuerpo del método consta de tres códigos de operación que cargan la matriz de entrada en la pila, llaman al constructor List<TFirst> que toma IEnumerable<TFirst> (que hace todo el trabajo de colocar los elementos de entrada en la lista) y devuelven (dejando el nuevo objeto List<T> en la pila). La parte difícil a la hora de emitir este código es la obtención del constructor.

El método GetConstructor no se admite en un GenericTypeParameterBuilder, por lo que no es posible obtener el constructor de List<TFirst> directamente. En primer lugar, es necesario obtener el constructor de la definición de tipo genérico List<T> y luego llamar a un método que lo convierta en el constructor correspondiente de List<TFirst>.

El constructor usado para este ejemplo de código toma un tipo IEnumerable<T>. Pero tenga en cuenta que no es la definición de tipo genérico de la interfaz genérica IEnumerable<T>; en su lugar, debe sustituirse el parámetro de tipo T de List<T> por el parámetro de tipo T de IEnumerable<T>. (Esto parece confuso solo porque ambos tipos tienen parámetros de tipo con el nombre T. Es por esto que este ejemplo de código usa los nombres TFirst y TSecond). Para obtener el tipo del argumento del constructor, comience con la definición de tipo genérico IEnumerable<T> y llame a MakeGenericType con el primer parámetro de tipo genérico de List<T>. La lista de argumentos del constructor se debe pasar como matriz, con un único argumento en este caso.

Nota

La definición de tipo genérico se expresa como IEnumerable<> cuando se usa el operador typeof de C#, o como IEnumerable(Of ) cuando se usa el operador GetType de Visual Basic.

Ahora es posible obtener el constructor de List<T> con una llamada a GetConstructor en la definición de tipo genérico. Para convertir este constructor en el constructor correspondiente de List<TFirst>, pase List<TFirst> y el constructor de List<T> al método estático TypeBuilder.GetConstructor(Type, ConstructorInfo).
```
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);
```
```
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);
```
```
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)
```

Cree el tipo y guarde el archivo.

Type^ finished = myType->CreateType();
myAssembly->Save( String::Concat( myAsmName->Name, L".dll" ) );

Type finished = myType.CreateType();
myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name+".dll");

Dim finished As Type = myType.CreateType()
myAssembly.Save(myAsmName.Name & ".dll")

Invoque al método. ExampleMethod no es genérico, pero el tipo al que pertenece sí lo es, así que para obtener un elemento MethodInfo que pueda invocarse es necesario crear un tipo construido de la definición de tipo para Sample. El tipo construido usa la clase Example, que satisface las restricciones de TFirst porque es un tipo de referencia y tiene un constructor sin parámetros predeterminado, y la clase ExampleDerived, que satisface las restricciones de TSecond. (El código de ExampleDerived puede encontrarse en la sección de código de ejemplo). Estos dos tipos se pasan a MakeGenericType para crear el tipo construido. Luego se obtiene MethodInfo mediante el método GetMethod.
```
array<Type^>^ typeArgs = 
    { Example::typeid, ExampleDerived::typeid };
Type^ constructed = finished->MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
MethodInfo^ mi = constructed->GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
```
```
Type[] typeArgs = {typeof(Example), typeof(ExampleDerived)};
Type constructed = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
MethodInfo mi = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod");
```
```
Dim typeArgs() As Type = _
    {GetType(Example), GetType(ExampleDerived)}
Dim constructed As Type = finished.MakeGenericType(typeArgs)
Dim mi As MethodInfo = constructed.GetMethod("ExampleMethod")
```

El código siguiente crea una matriz de objetos Example, coloca esa matriz en una matriz de tipo Object que representa los argumentos del método que se va a invocar y los pasa al método Invoke(Object, Object[]). El primer argumento del método Invoke es una referencia nula porque el método es static.

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);

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);

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 _
)

Ejemplo

En el ejemplo de código siguiente se define una clase denominada Sample junto con una clase base y dos interfaces. El programa define dos parámetros de tipo genérico para Sample, con lo que lo convierte en un tipo genérico. Los parámetros de tipo son lo único que convierte un tipo genérico. El programa lo indica al mostrar un mensaje de prueba antes y después de la definición de los parámetros de tipo.

El parámetro de tipo TSecond se usa para mostrar las restricciones de interfaz y de clase, mediante la clase base y las interfaces, y el parámetro de tipo TFirst se emplea para mostrar restricciones especiales.

El ejemplo de código define un campo y un método con los parámetros de tipo de la clase para el tipo de campo y para el parámetro y el tipo devuelto del método.

Una vez creada la clase Sample, se invoca al método.

El programa incluye un método que enumera información sobre un tipo genérico y un método que enumera las restricciones especiales de un parámetro de tipo. Estos métodos se usan para mostrar información sobre la clase finalizada Sample.

El programa guarda el módulo finalizado en el disco como GenericEmitExample1.dll, por lo que se puede abrir con Ildasm.exe (Desensamblador de IL) y examinar el CIL de la clase Sample.
