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++允许SFINAE用于此(注意,在c++ 11特性中,这更简单,因为它支持在几乎任意表达式上扩展SFINAE -下面的代码是为使用常见的c++ 03编译器而设计的):

#define HAS_MEM_FUNC(func, name)                                        \
    template<typename T, typename Sign>                                 \
    struct name {                                                       \
        typedef char yes[1];                                            \
        typedef char no [2];                                            \
        template <typename U, U> struct type_check;                     \
        template <typename _1> static yes &chk(type_check<Sign, &_1::func > *); \
        template <typename   > static no  &chk(...);                    \
        static bool const value = sizeof(chk<T>(0)) == sizeof(yes);     \
    }

上面的模板和宏尝试实例化一个模板,给它一个成员函数指针类型,以及实际的成员函数指针。如果类型不匹配,SFINAE会导致模板被忽略。用法:

HAS_MEM_FUNC(toString, has_to_string);

template<typename T> void
doSomething() {
   if(has_to_string<T, std::string(T::*)()>::value) {
      ...
   } else {
      ...
   }
}

但是注意,你不能在if分支中调用toString函数。由于编译器将在两个分支中检查有效性,因此在函数不存在的情况下会失败。一种方法是再次使用SFINAE (enable_if也可以从boost中获得):

template<bool C, typename T = void>
struct enable_if {
  typedef T type;
};

template<typename T>
struct enable_if<false, T> { };

HAS_MEM_FUNC(toString, has_to_string);

template<typename T> 
typename enable_if<has_to_string<T, 
                   std::string(T::*)()>::value, std::string>::type
doSomething(T * t) {
   /* something when T has toString ... */
   return t->toString();
}

template<typename T> 
typename enable_if<!has_to_string<T, 
                   std::string(T::*)()>::value, std::string>::type
doSomething(T * t) {
   /* something when T doesnt have toString ... */
   return "T::toString() does not exist.";
}

享受使用它的乐趣。它的优点是它也适用于重载的成员函数,也适用于const成员函数(记得使用std::string(T::*)() const作为成员函数指针类型!)

其他回答

下面是一些用法片段: *所有这些的核心都在更深处

在给定的类中检查成员x。可以是var, func, class, union或enum:

CREATE_MEMBER_CHECK(x);
bool has_x = has_member_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

检查成员函数void x():

//Func signature MUST have T as template variable here... simpler this way :\
CREATE_MEMBER_FUNC_SIG_CHECK(x, void (T::*)(), void__x);
bool has_func_sig_void__x = has_member_func_void__x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

检查成员变量x:

CREATE_MEMBER_VAR_CHECK(x);
bool has_var_x = has_member_var_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

检查成员类x:

CREATE_MEMBER_CLASS_CHECK(x);
bool has_class_x = has_member_class_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

检查成员工会x:

CREATE_MEMBER_UNION_CHECK(x);
bool has_union_x = has_member_union_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

检查成员enum x:

CREATE_MEMBER_ENUM_CHECK(x);
bool has_enum_x = has_member_enum_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

检查任何成员函数x,而不考虑签名:

CREATE_MEMBER_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_VAR_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_CLASS_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_UNION_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_ENUM_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_FUNC_CHECK(x);
bool has_any_func_x = has_member_func_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

OR

CREATE_MEMBER_CHECKS(x);  //Just stamps out the same macro calls as above.
bool has_any_func_x = has_member_func_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

细节和核心:

/*
    - Multiple inheritance forces ambiguity of member names.
    - SFINAE is used to make aliases to member names.
    - Expression SFINAE is used in just one generic has_member that can accept
      any alias we pass it.
*/

//Variadic to force ambiguity of class members.  C++11 and up.
template <typename... Args> struct ambiguate : public Args... {};

//Non-variadic version of the line above.
//template <typename A, typename B> struct ambiguate : public A, public B {};

template<typename A, typename = void>
struct got_type : std::false_type {};

template<typename A>
struct got_type<A> : std::true_type {
    typedef A type;
};

template<typename T, T>
struct sig_check : std::true_type {};

template<typename Alias, typename AmbiguitySeed>
struct has_member {
    template<typename C> static char ((&f(decltype(&C::value))))[1];
    template<typename C> static char ((&f(...)))[2];

    //Make sure the member name is consistently spelled the same.
    static_assert(
        (sizeof(f<AmbiguitySeed>(0)) == 1)
        , "Member name specified in AmbiguitySeed is different from member name specified in Alias, or wrong Alias/AmbiguitySeed has been specified."
    );

    static bool const value = sizeof(f<Alias>(0)) == 2;
};

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;
}

这个解决方案怎么样?

#include <type_traits>

template <typename U, typename = void> struct hasToString : std::false_type { };

template <typename U>
struct hasToString<U,
  typename std::enable_if<bool(sizeof(&U::toString))>::type
> : std::true_type { };

泛型模板,用于检查类型是否支持某些“特性”:

#include <type_traits>

template <template <typename> class TypeChecker, typename Type>
struct is_supported
{
    // these structs are used to recognize which version
    // of the two functions was chosen during overload resolution
    struct supported {};
    struct not_supported {};

    // this overload of chk will be ignored by SFINAE principle
    // if TypeChecker<Type_> is invalid type
    template <typename Type_>
    static supported chk(typename std::decay<TypeChecker<Type_>>::type *);

    // ellipsis has the lowest conversion rank, so this overload will be
    // chosen during overload resolution only if the template overload above is ignored
    template <typename Type_>
    static not_supported chk(...);

    // if the template overload of chk is chosen during
    // overload resolution then the feature is supported
    // if the ellipses overload is chosen the the feature is not supported
    static constexpr bool value = std::is_same<decltype(chk<Type>(nullptr)),supported>::value;
};

检查方法foo是否与signature double兼容的模板(const char*)

// if T doesn't have foo method with the signature that allows to compile the bellow
// expression then instantiating this template is Substitution Failure (SF)
// which Is Not An Error (INAE) if this happens during overload resolution
template <typename T>
using has_foo = decltype(double(std::declval<T>().foo(std::declval<const char*>())));

例子

// types that support has_foo
struct struct1 { double foo(const char*); };            // exact signature match
struct struct2 { int    foo(const std::string &str); }; // compatible signature
struct struct3 { float  foo(...); };                    // compatible ellipsis signature
struct struct4 { template <typename T>
                 int    foo(T t); };                    // compatible template signature

// types that do not support has_foo
struct struct5 { void        foo(const char*); }; // returns void
struct struct6 { std::string foo(const char*); }; // std::string can't be converted to double
struct struct7 { double      foo(      int *); }; // const char* can't be converted to int*
struct struct8 { double      bar(const char*); }; // there is no foo method

int main()
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;

    std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, int    >::value << std::endl; // false

这里有很多答案,但我没有找到一个版本,它执行真正的方法解析排序,同时不使用任何较新的c++特性(只使用c++98特性)。 注意:此版本已测试,并使用vc++2013, g++ 5.2.0和在线编译器。

所以我提出了一个版本,只使用sizeof():

template<typename T> T declval(void);

struct fake_void { };
template<typename T> T &operator,(T &,fake_void);
template<typename T> T const &operator,(T const &,fake_void);
template<typename T> T volatile &operator,(T volatile &,fake_void);
template<typename T> T const volatile &operator,(T const volatile &,fake_void);

struct yes { char v[1]; };
struct no  { char v[2]; };
template<bool> struct yes_no:yes{};
template<> struct yes_no<false>:no{};

template<typename T>
struct has_awesome_member {
 template<typename U> static yes_no<(sizeof((
   declval<U>().awesome_member(),fake_void()
  ))!=0)> check(int);
 template<typename> static no check(...);
 enum{value=sizeof(check<T>(0)) == sizeof(yes)};
};


struct foo { int awesome_member(void); };
struct bar { };
struct foo_void { void awesome_member(void); };
struct wrong_params { void awesome_member(int); };

static_assert(has_awesome_member<foo>::value,"");
static_assert(!has_awesome_member<bar>::value,"");
static_assert(has_awesome_member<foo_void>::value,"");
static_assert(!has_awesome_member<wrong_params>::value,"");

没有消息来源,因为是我自己想出来的。

在g++编译器上运行Live演示时,请注意数组大小为0是允许的,这意味着使用static_assert将不会触发编译器错误,即使它失败了。 一个常用的解决方法是将宏中的'typedef'替换为'extern'。
