Groovy：如何获得“私有”的价值？ 封闭变量

Question

I have a closure thats working great, but sometimes I would like to get the final value of a temporary variable I define in the closure. Example:

def someClosure = {Number input->
  def howDoIGetThis = input + 4
  return 2 * input
}

def normalWay = someClosure(2)
assert normalWay == 4

def myFantasy = someClosure(2).howDoIGetThis
assert myFantasy == 6

Is this somehow possible?

Answer 1

You can store the state in the closure's owner or delegate.

def howDoIGetThis
def someClosure = {Number input ->
    howDoIGetThis = input + 4
    return input * 2
}

def normalWay = someClosure(2)
assert normalWay == 4

someClosure(2)
def myFantasy = howDoIGetThis
assert myFantasy == 6

If you want to control what object the state goes into, you can override the closure's delegate. For example:

def closureState = [:]
def someClosure = {Number input ->
    delegate.howDoIGetThis = input + 4
    return input * 2
}
someClosure.delegate = closureState

def normalWay = someClosure(2)
assert normalWay == 4

someClosure(2)
def myFantasy = closureState.howDoIGetThis
assert myFantasy == 6

Answer 2

No, there's no way of getting the variable, as the closure just returns a single result (so somclosure(2).howDoIGetThis can't work), and there's no way to get a handle on the closure instance after it has been run...

The best I can think of, is to return multiple values from the Closure like so:

def someClosure = {Number input->
  def howDoIGetThis = input + 4
  [ 2 * input, howDoIGetThis ]
}

def (normalWay, myFantasy) = someClosure(2)

assert normalWay == 4
assert myFantasy == 6
