《CLR Via C# 第3版》笔记之（六） - IL中的call和callvirt

C#中调用一个函数时生成的IL代码有两种形式，分别为call 和 callvirt。

主要内容

call和callvirt的区别

call和callvirt的例子

1. call和callvirt的区别

call的callvirt的区别主要有两点：

1）call可以调用静态方法，实例方法和虚方法

callvirt只能调用实例方法和虚方法，不能调用静态方法

2）call一般是以非虚的方式来调用函数的

callvirt是以已多态的方式来调用函数的

2. call和callvirt的例子

示例代码如下：

using System;

namespace Test6
{
public class CLRviaCSharp_6
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
BaseClass.SShow();

BaseClass b = new BaseClass();
BaseClass s = new SubClass();
b.VShow();
s.VShow();
Console.ReadKey(true);
}
}

public class BaseClass
{
public static void SShow()
{
Console.WriteLine("Base class static method: SShow()!");
}

public virtual void VShow()
{
Console.WriteLine("Base class virtual method: VShow()!");
}
}

public class SubClass : BaseClass
{
public override void VShow()
{
Console.WriteLine("Sub class virtual method: VShow()!");
}
}
}

程序执行结果为：





利用ildasm.exe将上面代码生成的exe文件反编译为IL代码。

命令：ildasm .\Test6.exe /output:Test6.il

IL代码如下：

// WARNING: Created Win32 resource file Test6.res

其中Main函数从63行开始。

第71行的静态方法由call来调用的，78行和81行的虚方法则是由callvirt来调用的。

为了验证call使用非虚的方式来调用方法的，我们将生成的IL文件Test6.il中81行的callvirt改为call。

修改Test6.il后保存，然后用ilasm.exe来编译此IL文件为新的exe文件。

命令：ilasm .\Test6.il /res:Test6.res /output:Test6_new.exe

然后执行Test6_new.exe，发现最后一步也是调用基类的方法，无法表现出多态性。





其实我们在写C#代码时并不用关心call和callvirt，c#编译器会帮助我们选择合适的调用方法。

只是在分析IL时经常会遇到callvirt，这里记录下来方便以后查阅。
