我们一般使用的插件都是Hook子类，比如SyncHook，没有复杂的重写基类Hook的compile方法 先看Hook基类

// node_module/tapable/Hook.js

Object.defineProperties(Hook.prototype, {
    _call: {
        value: createCompileDelegate("call", "sync"),
        configurable: true,
        writable: true
    },
    _promise: {

module.exports = Hook;

需要注意这里的this.call,this.promise,this.callAsync。

// node_modules/tapable/SyncHook.js
const Hook = require("./Hook");
const HookCodeFactory = require("./HookCodeFactory");

class SyncHookCodeFactory extends HookCodeFactory {
    content({ onError, onDone, rethrowIfPossible }) {
        return this.callTapsSeries({
            onError: (i, err) => onError(err),
            onDone,
            rethrowIfPossible
        });
    }
}

const factory = new SyncHookCodeFactory();

class SyncHook extends Hook {
    tapAsync() {
        throw new Error("tapAsync is not supported on a SyncHook");
    }

    tapPromise() {
        throw new Error("tapPromise is not supported on a SyncHook");
    }

    compile(options) {
        factory.setup(this, options);
        return factory.create(options);
    }
}

module.exports = SyncHook;

所以compile方法是返回的HookCodeFactory实例的create的结果

// node_modules/tapable/HookCodeFactory.js
"use strict";

    constructor(config) {
        this.config = config;

}

module.exports = HookCodeFactory;

所以create方法返回的是new Function(){} 比如

(function(compilation, params
/*``*/) {
"use strict";
var _context;
var _x = this._x;
var _fn0 = _x[0];
_fn0(compilation, params);
var _fn1 = _x[1];
_fn1(compilation, params);
var _fn2 = _x[2];
_fn2(compilation, params);
var _fn3 = _x[3];
_fn3(compilation, params);
})

在使用插件时我们会对应的方法。 以this.call为例，它的本质是执行this._call，也就是createCompileDelegate后的lazyCompileHook。在调用this.call()时，返回的是this._createCall(type)(...arg)的结果，也就是上面的new Function()了。
