好吧,这真的很难承认,但我确实有一个强烈的诱惑,从std::vector继承。

I need about 10 customized algorithms for vector and I want them to be directly members of the vector. But naturally I want also to have the rest of std::vector's interface. Well, my first idea, as a law-abiding citizen, was to have an std::vector member in MyVector class. But then I would have to manually reprovide all of the std::vector's interface. Too much to type. Next, I thought about private inheritance, so that instead of reproviding methods I would write a bunch of using std::vector::member's in the public section. This is tedious too actually.

在这里,我真的认为我可以简单地从std::vector公开继承,但在文档中提供了一个警告,该类不应该多态地使用。我认为大多数开发人员都有足够的能力来理解这无论如何都不应该多态地使用。

我的决定是绝对不合理的吗?如果有,为什么?你能提供一个替代方案,这将有额外的成员实际上成员,但不会涉及重新键入所有矢量的接口?我很怀疑,但如果你能做到,我会很开心的。

而且,除了有些白痴能写出这样的东西

std::vector<int>* p  = new MyVector

使用MyVector还有其他现实的危险吗?通过说现实,我放弃了一些东西,比如想象一个函数,它接受一个指向向量的指针…

我已经陈述了我的观点。我有罪。现在就看你是否原谅我了:)


当前回答

你希望完成什么?只是提供一些功能?

c++惯用的方法是编写一些实现该功能的自由函数。有可能您实际上并不需要std::vector,特别是对于您正在实现的功能,这意味着您实际上通过尝试继承std::vector而失去了可重用性。

我强烈建议您查看标准库和标头,并思考它们是如何工作的。

其他回答

There is no reason to inherit from std::vector unless one wants to make a class that works differently than std::vector, because it handles in its own way the hidden details of std::vector's definition, or unless one has ideological reasons to use the objects of such class in place of std::vector's ones. However, the creators of the standard on C++ did not provide std::vector with any interface (in the form of protected members) that such inherited class could take advantage of in order to improve the vector in a specific way. Indeed, they had no way to think of any specific aspect that might need extension or fine-tune additional implementation, so they did not need to think of providing any such interface for any purpose.

The reasons for the second option can be only ideological, because std::vectors are not polymorphic, and otherwise there is no difference whether you expose std::vector's public interface via public inheritance or via public membership. (Suppose you need to keep some state in your object so you cannot get away with free functions). On a less sound note and from the ideological point of view, it appears that std::vectors are a kind of "simple idea", so any complexity in the form of objects of different possible classes in their place ideologically makes no use.

是的,它是安全的,只要你小心不做不安全的事情……我想我从来没有见过有人用向量new,所以在实践中你可能没问题。然而,这并不是c++....中的常用习语

你能提供更多关于算法的信息吗?

有时你在设计上走了一条路,然后看不到你可能走的其他道路——你声称需要用10种新算法来做矢量,这一事实给我敲响了警钟——矢量真的可以实现10种通用算法吗?或者你试图做一个对象,它既是通用矢量,又包含特定的应用程序功能?

我当然不是说你不应该这样做,只是你所提供的信息敲响了警钟,这让我认为也许你的抽象是有问题的,有更好的方法来实现你想要的。

我认为很少有规则是应该百分之百地盲从的。听起来你已经考虑了很多,并且相信这是一条正确的道路。所以——除非有人提出很好的具体理由不这样做——我认为你应该继续你的计划。

在这里,让我再介绍两种做你想做的事的方法。一种是包装std::vector的另一种方法,另一种是继承而不给用户破坏任何东西的方法:

让我添加另一种包装std::vector的方式,而无需编写大量的函数包装器。

#include <utility> // For std:: forward struct Derived: protected std::vector<T> { // Anything... using underlying_t = std::vector<T>; auto* get_underlying() noexcept { return static_cast<underlying_t*>(this); } auto* get_underlying() const noexcept { return static_cast<underlying_t*>(this); } template <class Ret, class ...Args> auto apply_to_underlying_class(Ret (*underlying_t::member_f)(Args...), Args &&...args) { return (get_underlying()->*member_f)(std::forward<Args>(args)...); } }; Inheriting from std::span instead of std::vector and avoid the dtor problem.

如果你正在考虑这个问题,那么你显然已经把办公室里的语言书呆子都干掉了。有了他们,为什么不直接做呢

struct MyVector
{
   std::vector<Thingy> v;  // public!
   void func1( ... ) ; // and so on
}

这将避免所有可能出现的错误,可能会意外地向上转换你的MyVector类,你仍然可以访问所有的向量操作,只需添加一个小.v。
