在c#中,通过[flags]属性将枚举视为标志,但在c++中实现这一点的最佳方法是什么?

例如,我想写:

enum AnimalFlags
{
    HasClaws = 1,
    CanFly =2,
    EatsFish = 4,
    Endangered = 8
};

seahawk.flags = CanFly | EatsFish | Endangered;

然而,我得到编译器错误关于int/enum转换。除了生硬的角色转换,还有更好的表达方式吗?最好,我不想依赖第三方库(如boost或Qt)的构造。

编辑:如答案中所示,我可以通过声明seahawk来避免编译器错误。标记为int。但是,我希望有某种机制来执行类型安全,这样就不能编写seahawk了。flags = HasMaximizeButton。

@Xaqq通过flag_set类提供了一种非常不错的类型安全的方式来使用枚举标志。

我在GitHub上发布了代码,使用方法如下:

#include "flag_set.hpp"

enum class AnimalFlags : uint8_t {
    HAS_CLAWS,
    CAN_FLY,
    EATS_FISH,
    ENDANGERED,
    _
};

int main()
{
    flag_set<AnimalFlags> seahawkFlags(AnimalFlags::HAS_CLAWS
                                       | AnimalFlags::EATS_FISH
                                       | AnimalFlags::ENDANGERED);

    if (seahawkFlags & AnimalFlags::ENDANGERED)
        cout << "Seahawk is endangered";
}

其他回答

“正确”的方法是为枚举定义位操作符,如下所示:

enum AnimalFlags
{
    HasClaws   = 1,
    CanFly     = 2,
    EatsFish   = 4,
    Endangered = 8
};

inline AnimalFlags operator|(AnimalFlags a, AnimalFlags b)
{
    return static_cast<AnimalFlags>(static_cast<int>(a) | static_cast<int>(b));
}

等等,其余的位操作符。如果枚举范围超过int range,则根据需要修改。

如果你的编译器还不支持强类型枚举,你可以参考c++源代码中的下面这篇文章:

来自摘要:

本文提出了一种解决比特操作约束问题的方法 只允许安全和合法的操作,并将所有无效的位操作转换为 编译时错误。最重要的是,位操作的语法保持不变, 使用比特的代码不需要修改,除非可能修改 修复尚未检测到的错误。

下面是一个c++ 11的惰性解决方案,它不改变枚举的默认行为。它也适用于enum struct和enum class,并且是constexpr。

#include <type_traits>

template<class T = void> struct enum_traits {};

template<> struct enum_traits<void> {
    struct _allow_bitops {
        static constexpr bool allow_bitops = true;
    };
    using allow_bitops = _allow_bitops;

    template<class T, class R = T>
    using t = typename std::enable_if<std::is_enum<T>::value and
        enum_traits<T>::allow_bitops, R>::type;

    template<class T>
    using u = typename std::underlying_type<T>::type;
};

template<class T>
constexpr enum_traits<>::t<T> operator~(T a) {
    return static_cast<T>(~static_cast<enum_traits<>::u<T>>(a));
}
template<class T>
constexpr enum_traits<>::t<T> operator|(T a, T b) {
    return static_cast<T>(
        static_cast<enum_traits<>::u<T>>(a) |
        static_cast<enum_traits<>::u<T>>(b));
}
template<class T>
constexpr enum_traits<>::t<T> operator&(T a, T b) {
    return static_cast<T>(
        static_cast<enum_traits<>::u<T>>(a) &
        static_cast<enum_traits<>::u<T>>(b));
}
template<class T>
constexpr enum_traits<>::t<T> operator^(T a, T b) {
    return static_cast<T>(
        static_cast<enum_traits<>::u<T>>(a) ^
        static_cast<enum_traits<>::u<T>>(b));
}
template<class T>
constexpr enum_traits<>::t<T, T&> operator|=(T& a, T b) {
    a = a | b;
    return a;
}
template<class T>
constexpr enum_traits<>::t<T, T&> operator&=(T& a, T b) {
    a = a & b;
    return a;
}
template<class T>
constexpr enum_traits<>::t<T, T&> operator^=(T& a, T b) {
    a = a ^ b;
    return a;
}

为枚举启用位操作符:

enum class my_enum {
    Flag1 = 1 << 0,
    Flag2 = 1 << 1,
    Flag3 = 1 << 2,
    // ...
};

// The magic happens here
template<> struct enum_traits<my_enum> :
    enum_traits<>::allow_bitops {};

constexpr my_enum foo = my_enum::Flag1 | my_enum::Flag2 | my_enum::Flag3;

我想详细说明Uliwitness的回答,为c++ 98修复他的代码,并使用Safe Bool习语,因为在c++ 11以下的c++版本中缺少std::underlying_type<>模板和显式关键字。

我还修改了它,使枚举值可以是连续的,而不需要任何显式的赋值,因此您可以有

enum AnimalFlags_
{
    HasClaws,
    CanFly,
    EatsFish,
    Endangered
};
typedef FlagsEnum<AnimalFlags_> AnimalFlags;

seahawk.flags = AnimalFlags() | CanFly | EatsFish | Endangered;

然后,您可以获得原始标志值

seahawk.flags.value();

这是代码。

template <typename EnumType, typename Underlying = int>
class FlagsEnum
{
    typedef Underlying FlagsEnum::* RestrictedBool;

public:
    FlagsEnum() : m_flags(Underlying()) {}

    FlagsEnum(EnumType singleFlag):
        m_flags(1 << singleFlag)
    {}

    FlagsEnum(const FlagsEnum& original):
        m_flags(original.m_flags)
    {}

    FlagsEnum& operator |=(const FlagsEnum& f) {
        m_flags |= f.m_flags;
        return *this;
    }

    FlagsEnum& operator &=(const FlagsEnum& f) {
        m_flags &= f.m_flags;
        return *this;
    }

    friend FlagsEnum operator |(const FlagsEnum& f1, const FlagsEnum& f2) {
        return FlagsEnum(f1) |= f2;
    }

    friend FlagsEnum operator &(const FlagsEnum& f1, const FlagsEnum& f2) {
        return FlagsEnum(f1) &= f2;
    }

    FlagsEnum operator ~() const {
        FlagsEnum result(*this);
        result.m_flags = ~result.m_flags;
        return result;
    }

    operator RestrictedBool() const {
        return m_flags ? &FlagsEnum::m_flags : 0;
    }

    Underlying value() const {
        return m_flags;
    }

protected:
    Underlying  m_flags;
};

在我看来,到目前为止没有一个答案是理想的。理想的解决方案是:

支持==,!=,=,&,&=,|,|=和~运算符 意义(即a和b) 类型安全,即不允许分配非枚举值,如字面量或整数类型(枚举值的按位组合除外),或允许将枚举变量分配给整数类型 允许使用if (a & b)… 不需要邪恶的宏,实现特定的功能或其他hack

到目前为止,大多数解都停留在第2点或第3点上。WebDancer在我看来是封闭的,但在第3点失败了,需要在每个枚举中重复。

我提出的解决方案是WebDancer的一个广义版本,也解决了第3点:

#include <cstdint>
#include <type_traits>

template<typename T, typename = typename std::enable_if<std::is_enum<T>::value, T>::type>
class auto_bool
{
    T val_;
public:
    constexpr auto_bool(T val) : val_(val) {}
    constexpr operator T() const { return val_; }
    constexpr explicit operator bool() const
    {
        return static_cast<std::underlying_type_t<T>>(val_) != 0;
    }
};

template <typename T, typename = typename std::enable_if<std::is_enum<T>::value, T>::type>
constexpr auto_bool<T> operator&(T lhs, T rhs)
{
    return static_cast<T>(
        static_cast<typename std::underlying_type<T>::type>(lhs) &
        static_cast<typename std::underlying_type<T>::type>(rhs));
}

template <typename T, typename = typename std::enable_if<std::is_enum<T>::value, T>::type>
constexpr T operator|(T lhs, T rhs)
{
    return static_cast<T>(
        static_cast<typename std::underlying_type<T>::type>(lhs) |
        static_cast<typename std::underlying_type<T>::type>(rhs));
}

enum class AnimalFlags : uint8_t 
{
    HasClaws = 1,
    CanFly = 2,
    EatsFish = 4,
    Endangered = 8
};

enum class PlantFlags : uint8_t
{
    HasLeaves = 1,
    HasFlowers = 2,
    HasFruit = 4,
    HasThorns = 8
};

int main()
{
    AnimalFlags seahawk = AnimalFlags::CanFly;        // Compiles, as expected
    AnimalFlags lion = AnimalFlags::HasClaws;         // Compiles, as expected
    PlantFlags rose = PlantFlags::HasFlowers;         // Compiles, as expected
//  rose = 1;                                         // Won't compile, as expected
    if (seahawk != lion) {}                           // Compiles, as expected
//  if (seahawk == rose) {}                           // Won't compile, as expected
//  seahawk = PlantFlags::HasThorns;                  // Won't compile, as expected
    seahawk = seahawk | AnimalFlags::EatsFish;        // Compiles, as expected
    lion = AnimalFlags::HasClaws |                    // Compiles, as expected
           AnimalFlags::Endangered;
//  int eagle = AnimalFlags::CanFly |                 // Won't compile, as expected
//              AnimalFlags::HasClaws;
//  int has_claws = seahawk & AnimalFlags::CanFly;    // Won't compile, as expected
    if (seahawk & AnimalFlags::CanFly) {}             // Compiles, as expected
    seahawk = seahawk & AnimalFlags::CanFly;          // Compiles, as expected

    return 0;
}

This creates overloads of the necessary operators but uses SFINAE to limit them to enumerated types. Note that in the interests of brevity I haven't defined all of the operators but the only one that is any different is the &. The operators are currently global (i.e. apply to all enumerated types) but this could be reduced either by placing the overloads in a namespace (what I do), or by adding additional SFINAE conditions (perhaps using particular underlying types, or specially created type aliases). The underlying_type_t is a C++14 feature but it seems to be well supported and is easy to emulate for C++11 with a simple template<typename T> using underlying_type_t = underlying_type<T>::type;
