你可以跳过c++ 14中所有的元编程，只需要从fit库中使用fit::条件来编写:

template<class T>
std::string optionalToString(T* x)
{
    return fit::conditional(
        [](auto* obj) -> decltype(obj->toString()) { return obj->toString(); },
        [](auto*) { return "toString not defined"; }
    )(x);
}

你也可以直接从lambdas中创建函数:

FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA_FUNCTION(optionalToString) = fit::conditional(
    [](auto* obj) -> decltype(obj->toString(), std::string()) { return obj->toString(); },
    [](auto*) -> std::string { return "toString not defined"; }
);

然而，如果你使用的编译器不支持泛型lambdas，你将不得不编写单独的函数对象:

struct withToString
{
    template<class T>
    auto operator()(T* obj) const -> decltype(obj->toString(), std::string())
    {
        return obj->toString();
    }
};

struct withoutToString
{
    template<class T>
    std::string operator()(T*) const
    {
        return "toString not defined";
    }
};

FIT_STATIC_FUNCTION(optionalToString) = fit::conditional(
    withToString(),
    withoutToString()
);

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。

奇怪的是，竟然没有人建议我在这个网站上看到的下面这个漂亮的把戏:

template <class T>
struct has_foo
{
    struct S { void foo(...); };
    struct derived : S, T {};

    template <typename V, V> struct W {};

    template <typename X>
    char (&test(W<void (X::*)(), &X::foo> *))[1];

    template <typename>
    char (&test(...))[2];

    static const bool value = sizeof(test<derived>(0)) == 1;
};

你必须确保T是一个类。查找foo时的模糊性似乎是替换失败。我让它在gcc上工作，但不确定它是否是标准的。

这是c++ 17中另一种实现方法(灵感来自boost:hana)。

该解决方案不需要has_something<T> SFINAE类型trait类。

struct Example2 {

int main() {

                  "Example class must have Foo member");
    static_assert(has_member(Example, Bar()), 
                  "Example class must have Bar() member function");
    static_assert(!has_member(Example, ZFoo), 
                  "Example class must not have ZFoo member.");
    static_assert(!has_member(Example, ZBar()), 
                  "Example class must not have ZBar() member function");

    Example e1;
    Example2 e2;

    std::cout << "e1: " << optionalToString(&e1) << "\n";
    std::cout << "e1: " << optionalToString(&e2) << "\n";
}

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。

用c++ 20你可以写以下代码:

template<typename T>
concept has_toString = requires(const T& t) {
    t.toString();
};

template<typename T>
std::string optionalToString(const T& obj)
{
    if constexpr (has_toString<T>)
        return obj.toString();
    else
        return "toString not defined";
}
