c++ 11更新

由于我没有看到与c++ 11相关的答案，这里有一个。

声明是定义，除非声明了/n:

opaque enum - enum X: int; 模板参数-模板参数- MyArray 参数声明- x和y在int add(int x, int y); 别名声明-使用IntVector = std::vector<int>; - static_assert(sizeof(int) == 4， "Yikes!") 属性声明(实现定义的) 空声明;

以上列表从c++ 03继承的附加子句:

函数声明- add in int add(int x, int y); Extern说明符包含声明或链接说明符- Extern int a;或extern "C"{…}; 类中的静态数据成员-类C中的x{静态int x;}; 类/struct声明- struct Point; typedef int int; 使用声明-使用std::cout; 使用命名空间NS;

模板声明是一种声明。如果模板声明定义了函数、类或静态数据成员，那么模板声明也是定义。

以下例子来自于区分声明和定义的标准，我发现这些例子有助于理解它们之间的细微差别:

// except one all these are definitions
int a;                                  // defines a
extern const int c = 1;                 // defines c
int f(int x) { return x + a; }          // defines f and defines x
struct S { int a; int b; };             // defines S, S::a, and S::b
struct X {                              // defines X
    int x;                              // defines non-static data member x
    static int y;                       // DECLARES static data member y
    X(): x(0) { }                       // defines a constructor of X
};
int X::y = 1;                           // defines X::y
enum { up , down };                     // defines up and down
namespace N { int d; }                  // defines N and N::d
namespace N1 = N;                       // defines N1
X anX;                                  // defines anX


// all these are declarations
extern int a;                           // declares a
extern const int c;                     // declares c
int f(int);                             // declares f
struct S;                               // declares S
typedef int Int;                        // declares Int
extern X anotherX;                      // declares anotherX
using N::d;                             // declares N::d


// specific to C++11 - these are not from the standard
enum X : int;                           // declares X with int as the underlying type
using IntVector = std::vector<int>;     // declares IntVector as an alias to std::vector<int>
static_assert(X::y == 1, "Oops!");      // declares a static_assert which can render the program ill-formed or have no effect like an empty declaration, depending on the result of expr
template <class T> class C;             // declares template class C
;                                       // declares nothing

声明说"这个东西存在于某个地方"

int sampleFunc(); // function
extern int car;  // variable

定义说，这个东西存在于这里;为它留下记忆"

int sampleFunc() {} // function
int car; // variable

在定义对象时，初始化是可选的，并表示“这是这个东西的初始值”:

int car = 0; // variable

c++中有一些有趣的边缘情况(在C中也有一些)。考虑

T t;

它可以是一个定义，也可以是一个声明，取决于T是什么类型:

typedef void T();
T t; // declaration of function "t"

struct X { 
  T t; // declaration of function "t".
};

typedef int T;
T t; // definition of object "t".

在c++中，当使用模板时，还有另一种边缘情况。

template <typename T>
struct X { 
  static int member; // declaration
};

template<typename T>
int X<T>::member; // definition

template<>
int X<bool>::member; // declaration!

最后一个声明不是定义。它声明了X<bool>的静态成员的显式特化。它告诉编译器:“如果要实例化X<bool>::member，那么不要从主模板实例化成员的定义，而是使用在其他地方找到的定义”。要使其成为定义，必须提供初始化式

template<>
int X<bool>::member = 1; // definition, belongs into a .cpp file.

《K&R》(第二版)中有一些非常明确的定义;这有助于把它们放在一个地方，并作为一个整体来阅读:

"Definition" refers to the place where the variable is created or assigned storage; "declaration" refers to the places where the nature of the variable is stated but no storage is allocated. [p. 33] ... It is important to distinguish between the declaration of an external variable and its definition. A declaration announces the properties of a variable (primarily its type); a definition also causes storage to be set aside. If the lines int sp; double val[MAXVAL] appear outside of any function, they define the external variables sp and val, cause storage to be set aside, and also serve as the declaration for the rest of that source file. On the other hand, the lines extern int sp; extern double val[]; declare for the rest of the source file that sp is an int and that val is a double array (whose size is determined elsewhere), but they do not create the variables or reserve storage for them. There must be only one definition of an external variable among all the files that make up the source program. ... Array sizes must be specified with the definition, but are optional with an extern declaration. [pp. 80-81] ... Declarations specify the interpretation given to each identifier; they do not necessarily reserve storage associated with the identifier. Declarations that reserve storage are called definitions. [p. 210]

宣言

声明告诉编译器a 程序元素或名称存在。一个 声明引入一个或多个 命名到程序中。声明可以 在一个程序中出现一次以上。 因此，类，结构， 枚举类型等 用户定义的类型可以声明为 每个编译单元。

定义

定义指定哪些代码或数据 名称描述。名称必须为 在使用之前声明。
