我们可以使用std::is_base_of和std::enable_if: (static_assert可以被删除，如果不能引用type_traits，上面的类可以自定义实现或从boost中使用)

#include <type_traits>
#include <list>

class Base {};
class Derived: public Base {};

#if 0   // wrapper
template <class T> class MyClass /* where T:Base */ {
private:
    static_assert(std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, "T is not derived from Base");
    typename std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, T>::type inner;
};
#elif 0 // base class
template <class T> class MyClass: /* where T:Base */
    protected std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, T>::type {
private:
    static_assert(std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, "T is not derived from Base");
};
#elif 1 // list-of
template <class T> class MyClass /* where T:list<Base> */ {
    static_assert(std::is_base_of<Base, typename T::value_type>::value , "T::value_type is not derived from Base");
    typedef typename std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, typename T::value_type>::value, T>::type base; 
    typedef typename std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, typename T::value_type>::value, T>::type::value_type value_type;

};
#endif

int main() {
#if 0   // wrapper or base-class
    MyClass<Derived> derived;
    MyClass<Base> base;
//  error:
    MyClass<int> wrong;
#elif 1 // list-of
    MyClass<std::list<Derived>> derived;
    MyClass<std::list<Base>> base;
//  error:
    MyClass<std::list<int>> wrong;
#endif
//  all of the static_asserts if not commented out
//  or "error: no type named ‘type’ in ‘struct std::enable_if<false, ...>’ pointing to:
//  1. inner
//  2. MyClass
//  3. base + value_type
}

好吧，你可以这样创建你的模板:

template<typename T>
class ObservableList {
  std::list<T> contained_data;
};

然而，这将使限制成为隐式的，而且您不能只提供任何看起来像列表的东西。还有其他方法来限制所使用的容器类型，例如使用特定的迭代器类型，这些迭代器类型并不存在于所有容器中，但同样，这是一种隐式限制而不是显式限制。

据我所知，目前的标准中不存在完全镜像Java语句的结构。

有一些方法可以通过在模板中使用特定的typedefs来限制在模板中使用的类型。这将确保模板专门化的编译不包括特定的类型定义将失败，所以你可以有选择地支持/不支持某些类型。

在c++ 11中，概念的引入会让这变得更容易，但我不认为它会完全满足你的需求。

只接受类型List派生的类型T的等效函数如下所示

template<typename T, 
         typename std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<List, T>::value>::type* = nullptr>
class ObservableList
{
    // ...
};

我们可以使用std::is_base_of和std::enable_if: (static_assert可以被删除，如果不能引用type_traits，上面的类可以自定义实现或从boost中使用)

#include <type_traits>
#include <list>

class Base {};
class Derived: public Base {};

#if 0   // wrapper
template <class T> class MyClass /* where T:Base */ {
private:
    static_assert(std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, "T is not derived from Base");
    typename std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, T>::type inner;
};
#elif 0 // base class
template <class T> class MyClass: /* where T:Base */
    protected std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, T>::type {
private:
    static_assert(std::is_base_of<Base, T>::value, "T is not derived from Base");
};
#elif 1 // list-of
template <class T> class MyClass /* where T:list<Base> */ {
    static_assert(std::is_base_of<Base, typename T::value_type>::value , "T::value_type is not derived from Base");
    typedef typename std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, typename T::value_type>::value, T>::type base; 
    typedef typename std::enable_if<std::is_base_of<Base, typename T::value_type>::value, T>::type::value_type value_type;

};
#endif

int main() {
#if 0   // wrapper or base-class
    MyClass<Derived> derived;
    MyClass<Base> base;
//  error:
    MyClass<int> wrong;
#elif 1 // list-of
    MyClass<std::list<Derived>> derived;
    MyClass<std::list<Base>> base;
//  error:
    MyClass<std::list<int>> wrong;
#endif
//  all of the static_asserts if not commented out
//  or "error: no type named ‘type’ in ‘struct std::enable_if<false, ...>’ pointing to:
//  1. inner
//  2. MyClass
//  3. base + value_type
}

class Base
{
    struct FooSecurity{};
};

template<class Type>
class Foo
{
    typename Type::FooSecurity If_You_Are_Reading_This_You_Tried_To_Create_An_Instance_Of_Foo_For_An_Invalid_Type;
};

确保派生类继承了FooSecurity结构，编译器就会在所有正确的地方出错。

这在c++中通常是不合理的，正如这里的其他答案所指出的那样。在c++中，我们倾向于基于其他约束来定义泛型类型，而不是“从该类继承”。如果你真的想这样做，在c++ 11和<type_traits>中很容易做到:

#include <type_traits>

template<typename T>
class observable_list {
    static_assert(std::is_base_of<list, T>::value, "T must inherit from list");
    // code here..
};

This breaks a lot of the concepts that people expect in C++ though. It's better to use tricks like defining your own traits. For example, maybe observable_list wants to accept any type of container that has the typedefs const_iterator and a begin and end member function that returns const_iterator. If you restrict this to classes that inherit from list then a user who has their own type that doesn't inherit from list but provides these member functions and typedefs would be unable to use your observable_list.

There are two solutions to this issue, one of them is to not constrain anything and rely on duck typing. A big con to this solution is that it involves a massive amount of errors that can be hard for users to grok. Another solution is to define traits to constrain the type provided to meet the interface requirements. The big con for this solution is that involves extra writing which can be seen as annoying. However, the positive side is that you will be able to write your own error messages a la static_assert.

为了完整起见，上面例子的解决方案如下:

#include <type_traits>

template<typename...>
struct void_ {
    using type = void;
};

template<typename... Args>
using Void = typename void_<Args...>::type;

template<typename T, typename = void>
struct has_const_iterator : std::false_type {};

template<typename T>
struct has_const_iterator<T, Void<typename T::const_iterator>> : std::true_type {};

struct has_begin_end_impl {
    template<typename T, typename Begin = decltype(std::declval<const T&>().begin()),
                         typename End   = decltype(std::declval<const T&>().end())>
    static std::true_type test(int);
    template<typename...>
    static std::false_type test(...);
};

template<typename T>
struct has_begin_end : decltype(has_begin_end_impl::test<T>(0)) {};

template<typename T>
class observable_list {
    static_assert(has_const_iterator<T>::value, "Must have a const_iterator typedef");
    static_assert(has_begin_end<T>::value, "Must have begin and end member functions");
    // code here...
};

上面的例子中有很多概念展示了c++ 11的特性。对于好奇的人来说，一些搜索词是可变参数模板、SFINAE、表达式SFINAE和类型特征。
