平等和案例分类 [英] Equality and Case Classes

问题描述

我有:

sealed trait BEValue

case class BEByteString(val value: Array[Byte]) extends BEValue { 
  def equals(that: BEByteString): Boolean = this.value.deep == that.value.deep
  def ==(that: BEByteString) = this equals that
}

case class BEList(val value: List[BEValue]) extends BEValue

BEByteString("spam".getBytes) == BEByteString("spam".getBytes) //true

val l1 =  BEList(BEByteString("spam".getBytes):: Nil)
val l2 =  BEList(BEByteString("spam".getBytes):: Nil)

l1 == l2 // false. Why ?

推荐答案

您不应创建自己的 == 方法.在Scala中， == 方法是使用 equals 来实现的.

You should not create your own == method. In scala == method is implemented using equals.

您应该使用 override 关键字来覆盖 equals 方法.

You should use override keyword to override equals method.

case class BEByteString(val value: Array[Byte]) extends BEValue { 
  override def equals(that: BEByteString): Boolean = this.value.deep == that.value.deep
}
// <console>:11: error: method equals overrides nothing
//          override def equals(that: BEByteString): Boolean = this.value.deep == that.value.deep
//                       ^       

您已经创建了一个新的 equals 方法.而新的 == 方法是使用新的 equals 方法实现的.但是case类的equals是使用 Any#equals 方法作为参数来实现的.

You have created a new equals method. And your new == method is implemented using your new equals method. But case class equals is implemented using Any#equals method for parameters.

Any#equals 方法签名为 def equals(that:Any):Boolean

case class BEByteString(val value: Array[Byte]) extends BEValue { 
  override def equals(that: Any): Boolean = that match {
    case BEByteString(thatValue) => thatValue.deep == this.value.deep
    case _ => false
  }
}

l1 == l2 
// Boolean = true

请注意，您可以使用 IndexedSeq [Byte] 而不是 Array [Byte] .在这种情况下，您可以使用默认的 equals 实现.这也使您的 BEByteString 类不可变:使用 Array [Byte] 可以更改 value 的内容.

Note that you could use IndexedSeq[Byte] instead of Array[Byte]. In this case you could use a default equals implementation. It also makes your BEByteString class immutable: with Array[Byte] one can change a content of value.
