Swift 协议扩展中的where self是什么

发布于09月03日

我看到了很多下面格式的例子

extension Protocolname where Self: UIViewController

协议扩展中的where Self是多少.我找不到这方面的文件.

考虑:

protocol Meh {
    func doSomething()
}

// Extend protocol Meh, where `Self` is of type `UIViewController`
// func blah() will only exist for classes that inherit `UIViewController`. 
// In fact, this entire extension only exists for `UIViewController` subclasses.

extension Meh where Self: UIViewController {
    func blah() {
        print("Blah")
    }

    func foo() {
        print("Foo")
    }
}

class Foo : UIViewController, Meh { //This compiles and since Foo is a `UIViewController` subclass, it has access to all of `Meh` extension functions and `Meh` itself. IE: `doSomething, blah, foo`.
    func doSomething() {
        print("Do Something")
    }
}

class Obj : NSObject, Meh { //While this compiles, it won't have access to any of `Meh` extension functions. It only has access to `Meh.doSomething()`.
    func doSomething() {
        print("Do Something")
    }
}

下面将给出一个编译器错误，因为Obj无法访问Meh扩展函数.
