问题描述
尽管我了解.
和:
之间的基本基本区别,但我还没有完全了解何时Lua允许使用冒号语法.例如,类似的方法确实可以工作:
While I understand the basic difference between .
and :
, I haven't fully figured out when Lua allows to use the colon syntax. For instance, something like this does work:
s = "test"
-- type(s) is string.
-- so I can write a colon function for that type
function string:myFunc()
return #self
end
-- and colon function calls are possible
s:myFunc()
但是,相同的模式似乎不适用于其他类型.例如,当我有一个table
而不是string
时:
However the same pattern does not seem to work for other types. For instance, when I have a table
instead of a string
:
t = {}
-- type(t) is table.
-- so I can write a colon function for that type
function table:myFunc()
return #self
end
-- Surprisingly, a colon function call is not not possible!
t:myFunc() -- error: attempt to call method 'myFunc' (a nil value)
-- But the verbose dot call works
table.myFunc(t)
继续使用其他类型:
x = 1
-- type(x) is number.
-- So I was expecting that I can write a colon function
-- for that type as well. However, in this case even this
-- fails:
function number:myFunc()
return self
end
-- error: attempt to index global 'number' (a nil value)
我目前正试图弄清这一点.结论
I'm currently trying to make sense of this. Is it correct to conclude that
- 某些类型(如
string
)允许结肠功能定义和结肠功能调用. -
table
之类的其他类型仅允许进行结肠功能定义,而不允许进行结肠功能调用. - 还有其他类型,例如
number
都不允许.
- certain types like
string
allow both colon-function-definitions and colon-function-calls. - other types like
table
allow only colon-function-definitions but not colon-function-calls. - yet other types like
number
allow neither.
这些差异的确切原因是什么?是否有所有类型的列表,显示它们支持的冒号语法类型? number
案例是否有解决方法,允许编写例如x:abs()
?
What exactly is the reason for these differences? Is there a list of all types, showing which type of colon-syntax they support? Is there maybe a workaround for the number
case, allowing to write e.g. x:abs()
?
推荐答案
string
上的第一个示例之所以有效,是因为所有字符串共享相同的元表,并将其存储在名为string
的表中.
The first example on string
works because, all strings share the same metatable, and it's stored in the table named string
.
来自 string
:
table
上的第二个示例不起作用,因为每个表都有其自己的元表,名为table
的表只是表库所有功能的集合.
The second example on table
doesn't work because, every table has its own metatable, the table named table
is just a collection of all the functions of table library.
数字之类的类型默认情况下不支持metatable.
Types like numbers don't support metatable by default.
