是否有可能编写一个模板,根据某个成员函数是否定义在类上而改变行为?

下面是我想写的一个简单的例子:

template<class T>
std::string optionalToString(T* obj)
{
    if (FUNCTION_EXISTS(T->toString))
        return obj->toString();
    else
        return "toString not defined";
}

因此,如果类T定义了toString(),那么它就使用它;否则,它就不会。我不知道如何做的神奇部分是“FUNCTION_EXISTS”部分。


当前回答

c++ 20 -需要表达式

c++ 20带来了一些概念和各种工具,比如require表达式,这是一种检查函数是否存在的内置方式。有了它们,你可以重写optionalToString函数如下:

template<class T>
std::string optionalToString(T* obj)
{
    constexpr bool has_toString = requires(const T& t) {
        t.toString();
    };

    if constexpr (has_toString)
        return obj->toString();
    else
        return "toString not defined";
}

pre - c++ 20 -检测工具包

N4502 proposes a detection toolkit for inclusion into the C++17 standard library that eventually made it into the library fundamentals TS v2. It most likely won't ever get into the standard because it has been subsumed by requires expressions since, but it still solves the problem in a somewhat elegant manner. The toolkit introduces some metafunctions, including std::is_detected which can be used to easily write type or function detection metafunctions on the top of it. Here is how you could use it:

template<typename T>
using toString_t = decltype( std::declval<T&>().toString() );

template<typename T>
constexpr bool has_toString = std::is_detected_v<toString_t, T>;

注意,上面的例子是未经测试的。标准库中还没有检测工具包,但建议包含了一个完整的实现,如果您确实需要它,可以很容易地复制它。它可以很好地使用c++ 17的特性,如果constexpr:

template<class T>
std::string optionalToString(T* obj)
{
    if constexpr (has_toString<T>)
        return obj->toString();
    else
        return "toString not defined";
}

C++14 - 助推哈娜

提振。Hana显然建立在这个特定的例子之上,并在其文档中提供了c++ 14的解决方案,所以我将直接引用它:

[...] Hana provides a is_valid function that can be combined with C++14 generic lambdas to obtain a much cleaner implementation of the same thing: auto has_toString = hana::is_valid([](auto&& obj) -> decltype(obj.toString()) { }); This leaves us with a function object has_toString which returns whether the given expression is valid on the argument we pass to it. The result is returned as an IntegralConstant, so constexpr-ness is not an issue here because the result of the function is represented as a type anyway. Now, in addition to being less verbose (that's a one liner!), the intent is much clearer. Other benefits are the fact that has_toString can be passed to higher order algorithms and it can also be defined at function scope, so there is no need to pollute the namespace scope with implementation details.

提振。创科实业

执行这种检查的另一个惯用工具包是Boost,尽管它没有那么优雅。TTI,在Boost 1.54 4.0中引入。对于您的示例,您必须使用宏BOOST_TTI_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION。下面是你如何使用它:

#include <boost/tti/has_member_function.hpp>

// Generate the metafunction
BOOST_TTI_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION(toString)

// Check whether T has a member function toString
// which takes no parameter and returns a std::string
constexpr bool foo = has_member_function_toString<T, std::string>::value;

然后,您可以使用bool来创建SFINAE检查。

解释

宏BOOST_TTI_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION生成元函数has_member_function_toString,该函数将选中的类型作为其第一个模板参数。第二个模板形参对应于成员函数的返回类型,下面的形参对应于函数形参的类型。如果类T有成员函数std::string toString(),则成员值为true。

或者,has_member_function_toString可以接受成员函数指针作为模板形参。因此,可以将has_member_function_toString<T, std::string>::value替换为has_member_function_toString<std::string T::* ()>::value。

其他回答

我在另一个线程中对此写了一个答案(与上面的解决方案不同),也检查继承的成员函数:

SFINAE检查继承的成员函数

以下是该解决方案的一些例子:

例二:

我们正在检查一个具有以下签名的成员: T::const_iterator begin(

template<class T> struct has_const_begin
{
    typedef char (&Yes)[1];
    typedef char (&No)[2];

    template<class U> 
    static Yes test(U const * data, 
                    typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<
                             typename U::const_iterator, 
                             decltype(data->begin())
                    >::value>::type * = 0);
    static No test(...);
    static const bool value = sizeof(Yes) == sizeof(has_const_begin::test((typename std::remove_reference<T>::type*)0));
};

请注意,它甚至检查方法的常量,并且也适用于基本类型。(我的意思是has_const_begin<int>::value为false,不会导致编译时错误。)

示例2

现在我们正在寻找签名:void foo(MyClass&, unsigned)

template<class T> struct has_foo
{
    typedef char (&Yes)[1];
    typedef char (&No)[2];

    template<class U>
    static Yes test(U * data, MyClass* arg1 = 0,
                    typename std::enable_if<std::is_void<
                             decltype(data->foo(*arg1, 1u))
                    >::value>::type * = 0);
    static No test(...);
    static const bool value = sizeof(Yes) == sizeof(has_foo::test((typename std::remove_reference<T>::type*)0));
};

请注意,MyClass不一定是默认可构造的或满足任何特殊的概念。该技术也适用于模板成员。

我急切地等待有关这方面的意见。

这就是类型特征存在的意义。不幸的是,它们必须手动定义。在你的情况下,想象一下:

template <typename T>
struct response_trait {
    static bool const has_tostring = false;
};

template <>
struct response_trait<your_type_with_tostring> {
    static bool const has_tostring = true;
}

一个使用SFINAE和模板部分特化的例子,通过编写Has_foo概念检查:

#include <type_traits>
struct A{};

struct B{ int foo(int a, int b);};

struct C{void foo(int a, int b);};

struct D{int foo();};

struct E: public B{};

// available in C++17 onwards as part of <type_traits>
template<typename...>
using void_t = void;

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

template<typename T> 
struct Has_foo<T, void_t<
    std::enable_if_t<
        std::is_same<
            int, 
            decltype(std::declval<T>().foo((int)0, (int)0))
        >::value
    >
>>: std::true_type{};


static_assert(not Has_foo<A>::value, "A does not have a foo");
static_assert(Has_foo<B>::value, "B has a foo");
static_assert(not Has_foo<C>::value, "C has a foo with the wrong return. ");
static_assert(not Has_foo<D>::value, "D has a foo with the wrong arguments. ");
static_assert(Has_foo<E>::value, "E has a foo since it inherits from B");

MSVC有__if_exists和__if_not_exists关键字(Doc)。连同Nicola的typef - sfinae方法,我可以创建一个检查GCC和MSVC,就像OP所寻找的那样。

更新:来源可以在这里找到

下面是我的版本,它可以任意处理所有可能的成员函数重载,包括模板成员函数,可能带有默认实参。当成员函数调用某个类类型时,它区分了3种互斥的情况,给定的arg类型:(1)有效,或(2)模糊,或(3)不可用。使用示例:

#include <string>
#include <vector>

HAS_MEM(bar)
HAS_MEM_FUN_CALL(bar)

struct test
{
   void bar(int);
   void bar(double);
   void bar(int,double);

   template < typename T >
   typename std::enable_if< not std::is_integral<T>::value >::type
   bar(const T&, int=0){}

   template < typename T >
   typename std::enable_if< std::is_integral<T>::value >::type
   bar(const std::vector<T>&, T*){}

   template < typename T >
   int bar(const std::string&, int){}
};

现在你可以这样使用它:

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
   static_assert( has_mem_bar<test>::value , "");

   static_assert( has_valid_mem_fun_call_bar<test(char const*,long)>::value , "");
   static_assert( has_valid_mem_fun_call_bar<test(std::string&,long)>::value , "");

   static_assert( has_valid_mem_fun_call_bar<test(std::vector<int>, int*)>::value , "");
   static_assert( has_no_viable_mem_fun_call_bar<test(std::vector<double>, double*)>::value , "");

   static_assert( has_valid_mem_fun_call_bar<test(int)>::value , "");
   static_assert( std::is_same<void,result_of_mem_fun_call_bar<test(int)>::type>::value , "");

   static_assert( has_valid_mem_fun_call_bar<test(int,double)>::value , "");
   static_assert( not has_valid_mem_fun_call_bar<test(int,double,int)>::value , "");

   static_assert( not has_ambiguous_mem_fun_call_bar<test(double)>::value , "");
   static_assert( has_ambiguous_mem_fun_call_bar<test(unsigned)>::value , "");

   static_assert( has_viable_mem_fun_call_bar<test(unsigned)>::value , "");
   static_assert( has_viable_mem_fun_call_bar<test(int)>::value , "");

   static_assert( has_no_viable_mem_fun_call_bar<test(void)>::value , "");

   return 0;
}

下面是用c++11编写的代码,但是,你可以很容易地将它移植到具有typeof扩展的非c++11(例如gcc)。你可以用你自己的宏替换HAS_MEM宏。
