在c++中,在哪些情况下使用结构体比使用类更好?


当前回答

在用我的主要语言c++编程多年之后,我得出了一个死结论,那就是这是c++的另一个愚蠢的特性。

两者之间没有真正的区别,我也没有理由花额外的时间来决定是应该将实体定义为结构体还是类。

要回答这个问题,请随时将实体定义为结构。默认情况下,成员将是公开的,这是规范。但更重要的是,默认情况下继承将是公开的。受保护继承和更糟糕的私有继承是例外。

我从来没有遇到过私人继承是正确做法的案例。是的,我试图发明问题来使用私有继承,但它不起作用。如果不使用访问器关键字,面向对象编程的角色模型Java默认为公共继承。顺便提一下,Java不允许在继承类上访问关键字,它们只能被公开继承。所以你可以看到,cpp团队在这里真的很失败。

另一件令人沮丧的事情是,如果你定义为类,声明为结构,你会得到编译警告。就好像这是影响程序性能或准确性的东西一样。一个回答还指出,MSVC可能会产生编译器错误。

Those persons that use classes when it is raining and structs when it is shining are doing so based on what they have been taught. It's not something they discovered to be true. Java does not have a pair of names for classes, and only have the class keyword. If you want a data structure, simply make all your members public and don't add functions. This works in Java and I don't see any problem. What's the problem? You need 4 or 5 characters of BOM code to determine how to interpret the context of a class entity.

从技术上讲,这两者在c++中是相同的——例如,结构体可能具有重载操作符等。

然而:

当我希望同时传递多种类型的信息时,我使用结构体 当我处理一个“功能性”对象时,我使用类。

希望能有所帮助。

#include <string>
#include <map>
using namespace std;

struct student
{
    int age;
    string name;
    map<string, int> grades
};

class ClassRoom
{
    typedef map<string, student> student_map;
  public :
    student getStudentByName(string name) const 
    { student_map::const_iterator m_it = students.find(name); return m_it->second; }
  private :
    student_map students;
};

例如,我在这里的get…()方法中返回一个struct student -喜欢。

它们几乎是一样的。由于c++的魔力,结构体可以像类一样保存函数、使用继承、使用“new”创建等等

唯一的功能区别是类以私有访问权限开始,而结构以public开始。这是对C语言的向后兼容。

在实践中,我总是使用结构体作为数据持有者,类作为对象。

如果你写的库内部是c++,但API可以被C或c++代码调用,你可以在c++中使用"struct"。你只需要创建一个包含struct和全局API函数的头文件,就可以向C和c++代码公开,如下所示:

// C access Header to a C++ library
#ifdef __cpp
extern "C" {
#endif

// Put your C struct's here
struct foo
{
    ...
};
// NOTE: the typedef is used because C does not automatically generate
// a typedef with the same name as a struct like C++.
typedef struct foo foo;

// Put your C API functions here
void bar(foo *fun);

#ifdef __cpp
}
#endif

然后,您可以使用c++代码在c++文件中编写函数栏(),并使其可从C调用,两个世界可以通过声明的结构共享数据。当然,在混合使用C和c++时还有其他注意事项,但这是一个简化的示例。

默认情况下,所有类成员都是私有的,所有结构成员都是公共的。 类有默认的私有基,Struct有默认的公共基。Struct在C中不能有成员函数,而在c++中可以有成员函数被添加到Struct中。除了这些差异之外,我没有发现任何令人惊讶的地方。

摘自c++ FAQ Lite:

The members and base classes of a struct are public by default, while in class, they default to private. Note: you should make your base classes explicitly public, private, or protected, rather than relying on the defaults. struct and class are otherwise functionally equivalent. OK, enough of that squeaky clean techno talk. Emotionally, most developers make a strong distinction between a class and a struct. A struct simply feels like an open pile of bits with very little in the way of encapsulation or functionality. A class feels like a living and responsible member of society with intelligent services, a strong encapsulation barrier, and a well defined interface. Since that's the connotation most people already have, you should probably use the struct keyword if you have a class that has very few methods and has public data (such things do exist in well designed systems!), but otherwise you should probably use the class keyword.
