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
}

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。

c++ 20概念使用示例

改编自https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/constraints，你可以只做一些鸭子打字:

#include <cassert>
#include <concepts>

struct ClassWithMyFunc {
    int myFunc() {
        return 1;
    }
};

struct ClassWithoutMyFunc {};

// Concept HasMyFunc: type 'T' has `.myFunc` and
// its return is convertible to int.
template<typename T>
concept HasMyFunc= requires(T a) {
    { a.myFunc() } -> std::convertible_to<int>;
};

// Constrained function template
template<HasMyFunc T>
int f(T t) {
    return t.myFunc() + 1;
}

int main() {
    assert(f(ClassWithMyFunc()) == 2);
    // assert(f(ClassWithoutMyFunc()) == 2);
}

编译并运行:

g++ -ggdb3 -O0 -std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -o main.out main.cpp
./main.out

如果取消注释// assert(f(ClassWithoutMyFunc()) == 2);，它会像预期的那样失败:

                 from main.cpp:1:

需要多个基类

如果你真的想要某个基类:

#include <concepts>
#include <type_traits>

struct Base1 {};
struct Base2 {};

struct Derived1 : public Base1 {};
struct Derived2 : public Base2 {};

struct NotDerived {};

template<typename T>
concept HasBase1Or2= std::is_base_of<Base1, T>::value || std::is_base_of<Base2, T>::value;

template<HasBase1Or2 T>
void f(T) {}

int main() {
    f(Derived1());
    f(Derived2());
    // f(NotDerived());
}

如果取消注释// f(NotDerived());它在以下情况下失败:

main.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
main.cpp:22:19: error: use of function ‘void f(T) [with T = NotDerived]’ with unsatisfied constraints
   22 |     f(NotDerived());
      |                   ^
main.cpp:17:6: note: declared here
   17 | void f(T) {}
      |      ^
main.cpp:17:6: note: constraints not satisfied
main.cpp: In instantiation of ‘void f(T) [with T = NotDerived]’:
main.cpp:22:19:   required from here

main.cpp:13:55: note: no operand of the disjunction is satisfied

   14 |                      std::is_base_of<Base2, T>::value;
      |                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

在Ubuntu 21.04 GCC 10.3.0上测试。

GCC 10似乎已经实现了它:https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/changes.html，你可以在Ubuntu 20.04上获得它作为一个PPA。https://godbolt.org/ GCC 10.1无法在Ubuntu 20.04上识别概念。

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
{
    // ...
};

这在普通c++中是不可能的，但是你可以在编译时通过概念检查来验证模板参数，例如使用Boost的BCCL。

从c++ 20开始，概念开始成为该语言的官方特性。
