惰性初始模式

程式設計中, 惰性初始是一種拖延戰術。在第一次需求出現以前,先延遲創建物件、計算值或其它昂貴程序。

這通常是以一個旗號來實現,用旗號來標示是否完成其程式。每次請求對象時,會先測試此旗號。如果已完成,直接傳回,否則當場執行。

對於此想法更一般的論述,可見惰性求值

對指令式語言,這個模式可能潛藏著危險,尤其是使用共享狀態的程式習慣。

"惰性工廠" 编辑

設計模式的觀點來說,惰性初始通常會和工廠方法模式合作,這結合了三種構想:

  • 使用一個工廠去得到一個類別的實例(工廠方法模式)。
  • 將實例存在一個集合中,所以下次要求一個實例卻有相同參數時,可以得到同一個實例(可和單例模式來做比較)。
  • 在第一次時,使用惰性初始來實例化物件(惰性初始模式)。

示例 编辑

C# 编辑

Fruit 類別本身在這裡不做任合事。_typesDictionary 變數則是一個存 Fruit 實例的 Dictionary 或 Map ,其透過typeName來存取。

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Fruit
{
    private string _typeName;

    private static Dictionary<string, Fruit> _typesDictionary = new Dictionary<string, Fruit>();

    private Fruit(String typeName)
    {
        this._typeName = typeName;
    }

    public static Fruit GetFruitByTypeName(string type)
    {
        Fruit fruit;

        if (!_typesDictionary.ContainsKey(type))
        {
            // 惰性初始
            fruit = new Fruit(type);

            _typesDictionary.Add(type, fruit);
        }
        else
            fruit = _typesDictionary[type];

        return fruit;
    }

    public static void ShowAll()
    {
        if (_typesDictionary.Count > 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Number of instances made = {0}", _typesDictionary.Count);
            
            foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Fruit> kvp in _typesDictionary)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(kvp.Key);
            }
            
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Fruit.GetFruitByTypeName("Banana");
        Fruit.ShowAll();

        Fruit.GetFruitByTypeName("Apple");
        Fruit.ShowAll();

        // returns pre-existing instance from first 
        // time Fruit with "Banana" was created
        Fruit.GetFruitByTypeName("Banana");
        Fruit.ShowAll();

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Smalltalk 编辑

The following is an example (in Smalltalk) of a typical accessor method to return the value of a variable using lazy initialization.

    height
        height ifNil: [height := 2.0].
        ^height
</source>
The 'non-lazy' alternative is to use an initialization method that is run when the object is created and then use a simpler accessor method to fetch the value.

<source lang="smalltalk">
    initialize
        height := 2.0

    height
        ^height

Note that lazy initialization can also be used in non-object-oriented languages.

Ruby 编辑

The following is an example (in Ruby) of lazily initializing an authentication token from a remote service like Google. The way that @auth_token is cached is also an example of memoization.

require 'net/http'
class Blogger
  def auth_token
    @auth_token ||=
      (res = Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, params)) &&
      get_token_from_http_response(res)
  end

  # get_token_from_http_response, uri and params are defined later in the class
end

b = Blogger.new
b.instance_variable_get(:@auth_token) # returns nil
b.auth_token # returns token
b.instance_variable_get(:@auth_token) # returns token
