为什么编译器不让我向前声明类型定义?

假设这是不可能的,那么保持我的包含树小的最佳实践是什么?


当前回答

像@BillKotsias一样,我使用了继承,而且它对我很有效。

我改变了这个混乱(这需要所有的boost头在我的声明*.h)

#include <boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/stats.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/mean.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/moment.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/min.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/max.hpp>

typedef boost::accumulators::accumulator_set<float,
 boost::accumulators::features<
  boost::accumulators::tag::median,
  boost::accumulators::tag::mean,
  boost::accumulators::tag::min,
  boost::accumulators::tag::max
 >> VanillaAccumulator_t ;
std::unique_ptr<VanillaAccumulator_t> acc;

在这个声明中(*.h)

class VanillaAccumulator;
std::unique_ptr<VanillaAccumulator> acc;

实现(*.cpp)是

#include <boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/stats.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/mean.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/moment.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/min.hpp>
#include <boost/accumulators/statistics/max.hpp>

class VanillaAccumulator : public
  boost::accumulators::accumulator_set<float,
    boost::accumulators::features<
      boost::accumulators::tag::median,
      boost::accumulators::tag::mean,
      boost::accumulators::tag::min,
      boost::accumulators::tag::max
>>
{
};

其他回答

对于那些像我一样,希望在一些c++代码中前向声明使用typedef定义的c风格结构体的人,我已经找到了一个解决方案,如下所示…

// a.h
 typedef struct _bah {
    int a;
    int b;
 } bah;

// b.h
 struct _bah;
 typedef _bah bah;

 class foo {
   foo(bah * b);
   foo(bah b);
   bah * mBah;
 };

// b.cpp
 #include "b.h"
 #include "a.h"

 foo::foo(bah * b) {
   mBah = b;
 }

 foo::foo(bah b) {
   mBah = &b;
 }

你可以使用正向类型定义。但是要做

typedef A B;

你必须先向前申报A:

class A;

typedef A B;

另一个解决方案是将forward声明和typedefs放在一个单独的头文件中,并包括:

// ForwardDeclarations.h
#pragma once
namespace Foo
{
    struct Bar;
    typedef Bar Baz;
}

// SomeFile.h
#include "ForwardDeclarations.h"
Foo::Baz baz;

当然,这实际上并没有减少要包含的文件数量,编译器仍然必须从磁盘读取这个文件,但至少内容比完整的定义更简单。您可以在同一个文件中添加更多的前向声明,并将其包含在相关位置。

要“fwd声明一个类型定义”,你需要fwd声明一个类或结构,然后你可以typedef声明类型。编译器可以接受多个相同的类型。

长形式:

class MyClass;
typedef MyClass myclass_t;

简式:

typedef class MyClass myclass_t;
