如何为自定义数组类型重载 Base.show ？

假设我用它自己的自定义来制作我自己的自定义向量类型show method:

struct MyVector{T} <: AbstractVector{T}
    v::Vector{T}
end

function Base.show(io::IO, v::MyVector{T}) where {T}
    println(io, "My custom vector with eltype $T with elements")
    for i in eachindex(v)
        println(io, "  ", v.v[i])
    end
end

如果我尝试在 REPL 中创建这些对象之一，我会收到与我从未打算调用的函数相关的意外错误：

julia> MyVector([1, 2, 3])
Error showing value of type MyVector{Int64}:
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching size(::MyVector{Int64})
Closest candidates are:
  size(::AbstractArray{T,N}, ::Any) where {T, N} at abstractarray.jl:38
  size(::BitArray{1}) at bitarray.jl:77
  size(::BitArray{1}, ::Integer) at bitarray.jl:81
  ...

好吧，无论如何，我会实施Base.size所以它会让我一个人呆着：

julia> Base.size(v::MyVector) = size(v.v)

julia> MyVector([1, 2, 3])
3-element MyVector{Int64}:
Error showing value of type MyVector{Int64}:

嗯，现在想要getindex

julia> Base.getindex(v::MyVector, args...) = getindex(v.v, args...)

julia> MyVector([1, 2, 3])
3-element MyVector{Int64}:
 1
 2
 3

什么？这不是我告诉它的打印格式！这里发生了什么？

问题是在julia中，Base定义了一个方法Base.show(io::IO ::MIME"text/plain", X::AbstractArray)这实际上比Base.show(io::IO, v::MyVector)为了display. 朱莉娅手册的这一部分描述了自定义打印的类型AbstractArray uses https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/types/#man-custom-pretty-printing。所以如果我们想使用我们的自定义show方法，我们需要做

julia> function Base.show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", v::MyVector{T}) where {T}
           println(io, "My custom vector with eltype $T and elements")
           for i in eachindex(v)
               println(io, "  ", v.v[i])
           end
       end

julia> MyVector([1, 2, 3])
My custom vector with eltype Int64 and elements
  1
  2
  3
