我听说c++的类成员函数模板不能是虚的。这是真的吗?
如果它们可以是虚拟的，那么有什么场景可以使用这样的函数呢?

从c++模板的完整指南:
Member function templates cannot be declared virtual. This constraint is imposed because the usual implementation of the virtual function call mechanism uses a fixed-size table with one entry per virtual function. However, the number of instantiations of a member function template is not fixed until the entire program has been translated. Hence, supporting virtual member function templates would require support for a whole new kind of mechanism in C++ compilers and linkers. In contrast, the ordinary members of class templates can be virtual because their number is fixed when a class is instantiated
回答问题的第二部分:
如果它们可以是虚拟的，那么有什么场景可以使用这样的函数呢?
这并不是一件不合理的事情。例如，Java(每个方法都是虚的)使用泛型方法没有问题。
c++中需要虚函数模板的一个例子是接受泛型迭代器的成员函数。或接受泛型函数对象的成员函数。
这个问题的解决方案是使用boost::any_range和boost::function的类型擦除，这将允许您接受泛型迭代器或函子，而不需要使您的函数成为模板。
在虚函数的情况下如何调用正确的函数?
虚表将包含类的每个虚函数的条目，在运行时，它将选择特定函数的地址，并调用各自的函数。
如何正确的函数必须被调用在虚拟情况下连同函数模板?
在函数模板的情况下，用户可以使用任何类型调用该函数。这里相同的函数根据类型有几个版本。现在，在这种情况下，对于同一个函数，由于版本不同，必须维护vtable中的许多项。
在其他答案中，建议的模板函数是一个门面，并不能提供任何实际的好处。
模板函数对于只编写一次代码很有用 不同的类型。 虚函数对于为不同的类提供公共接口非常有用。
该语言不允许虚拟模板函数，但通过一个变通方法，可以同时拥有两者，例如，每个类都有一个模板实现和一个虚拟公共接口。
但是，有必要为每个模板类型组合定义一个虚拟包装器函数:
#include <memory>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
//---------------------------------------------
// Abstract class with virtual functions
class Geometry {
public:
virtual void getArea(float &area) = 0;
virtual void getArea(long double &area) = 0;
};
//---------------------------------------------
// Square
class Square : public Geometry {
public:
float size {1};
// virtual wrapper functions call template function for square
virtual void getArea(float &area) { getAreaT(area); }
virtual void getArea(long double &area) { getAreaT(area); }
private:
// Template function for squares
template <typename T>
void getAreaT(T &area) {
area = static_cast<T>(size * size);
}
};
//---------------------------------------------
// Circle
class Circle : public Geometry {
public:
float radius {1};
// virtual wrapper functions call template function for circle
virtual void getArea(float &area) { getAreaT(area); }
virtual void getArea(long double &area) { getAreaT(area); }
private:
// Template function for Circles
template <typename T>
void getAreaT(T &area) {
area = static_cast<T>(radius * radius * 3.1415926535897932385L);
}
};
//---------------------------------------------
// Main
int main()
{
// get area of square using template based function T=float
std::unique_ptr<Geometry> geometry = std::make_unique<Square>();
float areaSquare;
geometry->getArea(areaSquare);
// get area of circle using template based function T=long double
geometry = std::make_unique<Circle>();
long double areaCircle;
geometry->getArea(areaCircle);
std::cout << std::setprecision(20) << "Square area is " << areaSquare << ", Circle area is " << areaCircle << std::endl;
return 0;
}
输出:
方形面积为1，圆形面积为3.1415926535897932385
