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。

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
std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, double >::value << std::endl; // false
std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, struct1>::value << std::endl; // true
std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, struct2>::value << std::endl; // true
std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, struct3>::value << std::endl; // true

std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, struct8>::value << std::endl; // false
return 0;

其他回答
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
这个问题很老了，但是在c++ 11中，我们有了一种新的方法来检查函数是否存在(或者任何非类型成员是否存在)，再次依赖SFINAE:
template<class T>
auto serialize_imp(std::ostream& os, T const& obj, int)
-> decltype(os << obj, void())
{
os << obj;
}
template<class T>
auto serialize_imp(std::ostream& os, T const& obj, long)
-> decltype(obj.stream(os), void())
{
obj.stream(os);
}
template<class T>
auto serialize(std::ostream& os, T const& obj)
-> decltype(serialize_imp(os, obj, 0), void())
{
serialize_imp(os, obj, 0);
}
现在来解释一下。首先，我使用表达式SFINAE从重载解析中排除序列化(_imp)函数，如果decltype中的第一个表达式无效(即函数不存在)。
void()用于使所有这些函数的返回类型为空。
如果os << obj重载都可用，则使用0参数优先选择os << obj重载(字面量0是int类型，因此第一个重载是更好的匹配)。
现在，您可能需要一个trait来检查函数是否存在。幸运的是，这很容易写出来。不过，请注意，您需要为可能需要的每个不同函数名自己编写trait。
#include <type_traits>
template<class>
struct sfinae_true : std::true_type{};
namespace detail{
template<class T, class A0>
static auto test_stream(int)
-> sfinae_true<decltype(std::declval<T>().stream(std::declval<A0>()))>;
template<class, class A0>
static auto test_stream(long) -> std::false_type;
} // detail::
template<class T, class Arg>
struct has_stream : decltype(detail::test_stream<T, Arg>(0)){};
生活的例子。
And on to explanations. First, sfinae_true is a helper type, and it basically amounts to the same as writing decltype(void(std::declval<T>().stream(a0)), std::true_type{}). The advantage is simply that it's shorter. Next, the struct has_stream : decltype(...) inherits from either std::true_type or std::false_type in the end, depending on whether the decltype check in test_stream fails or not. Last, std::declval gives you a "value" of whatever type you pass, without you needing to know how you can construct it. Note that this is only possible inside an unevaluated context, such as decltype, sizeof and others.
注意，decltype不一定是必需的，因为sizeof(以及所有未求值的上下文)得到了增强。只是decltype已经交付了一个类型，因此更简洁。下面是其中一个重载的sizeof版本:
template<class T>
void serialize_imp(std::ostream& os, T const& obj, int,
int(*)[sizeof((os << obj),0)] = 0)
{
os << obj;
}
由于同样的原因，int和long形参仍然存在。数组指针用于提供可以使用sizeof的上下文。

这是个不错的小难题——好问题!
这里有一个替代Nicola Bonelli的解决方案，它不依赖于非标准typeof运算符。
不幸的是，它不能在GCC (MinGW) 3.4.5或Digital Mars 8.42n上工作，但它可以在所有版本的MSVC(包括VC6)和Comeau c++上工作。
较长的注释块有关于它如何工作(或应该如何工作)的详细信息。正如它所说，我不确定哪些行为符合标准-我欢迎对此发表评论。
更新- 2008年11月7日:
看起来，虽然这段代码在语法上是正确的，但MSVC和Comeau c++所显示的行为并不符合标准(感谢Leon Timmermans和litb为我指明了正确的方向)。c++ 03标准说:
14.6.2依赖名称[temp.dep] 段3 在类模板定义中 或类模板的成员，如果 类模板的基类 类型取决于模板参数 基类范围不检查 在非限定名称查找期间 在定义的时候 类的模板或成员 类模板的实例化或 成员。
因此，当MSVC或Comeau考虑T的toString()成员函数在模板实例化时在doToString()中的调用站点执行名称查找时，这看起来是不正确的(尽管它实际上是我在本例中寻找的行为)。
GCC和Digital Mars的行为看起来是正确的——在这两种情况下，非成员toString()函数都绑定到调用。
老鼠-我以为我可能找到了一个聪明的解决方案，但我发现了几个编译器错误…
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
struct Hello
{
std::string toString() {
return "Hello";
}
};
struct Generic {};
// the following namespace keeps the toString() method out of
// most everything - except the other stuff in this
// compilation unit
namespace {
std::string toString()
{
return "toString not defined";
}
template <typename T>
class optionalToStringImpl : public T
{
public:
std::string doToString() {
// in theory, the name lookup for this call to
// toString() should find the toString() in
// the base class T if one exists, but if one
// doesn't exist in the base class, it'll
// find the free toString() function in
// the private namespace.
//
// This theory works for MSVC (all versions
// from VC6 to VC9) and Comeau C++, but
// does not work with MinGW 3.4.5 or
// Digital Mars 8.42n
//
// I'm honestly not sure what the standard says
// is the correct behavior here - it's sort
// of like ADL (Argument Dependent Lookup -
// also known as Koenig Lookup) but without
// arguments (except the implied "this" pointer)
return toString();
}
};
}
template <typename T>
std::string optionalToString(T & obj)
{
// ugly, hacky cast...
optionalToStringImpl<T>* temp = reinterpret_cast<optionalToStringImpl<T>*>( &obj);
return temp->doToString();
}
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Hello helloObj;
Generic genericObj;
std::cout << optionalToString( helloObj) << std::endl;
std::cout << optionalToString( genericObj) << std::endl;
return 0;
}
我也遇到过类似的问题:
一个模板类，可以从少数基类派生，其中一些基类具有某个成员，而另一些基类没有。
我解决它类似于“typeof”(Nicola Bonelli)的答案，但使用decltype，所以它在MSVS上编译和正确运行:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
struct Generic {};
struct HasMember
{
HasMember() : _a(1) {};
int _a;
};
// SFINAE test
template <typename T>
class S : public T
{
public:
std::string foo (std::string b)
{
return foo2<T>(b,0);
}
protected:
template <typename T> std::string foo2 (std::string b, decltype (T::_a))
{
return b + std::to_string(T::_a);
}
template <typename T> std::string foo2 (std::string b, ...)
{
return b + "No";
}
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
S<HasMember> d1;
S<Generic> d2;
std::cout << d1.foo("HasMember: ") << std::endl;
std::cout << d2.foo("Generic: ") << std::endl;
return 0;
}
