与其他类似的问题不同,这个问题是关于如何使用c++的新特性。

看了很多答案后,我还没有找到:

优雅的方式使用c++ 11、c++ 14或c++ 17的新特性 或者在Boost中使用一些现成的东西 还有一些东西计划在c++ 20中实现

例子

举例往往比冗长的解释更好。 您可以在Coliru上编译和运行这个代码片段。 (另一个前面的例子也可用)

#include <map>
#include <iostream>

struct MyClass
{
    enum class MyEnum : char {
        AAA = -8,
        BBB = '8',
        CCC = AAA + BBB
    };
};

// Replace magic() by some faster compile-time generated code
// (you're allowed to replace the return type with std::string
// if that's easier for you)
const char* magic (MyClass::MyEnum e)
{
    const std::map<MyClass::MyEnum,const char*> MyEnumStrings {
        { MyClass::MyEnum::AAA, "MyClass::MyEnum::AAA" },
        { MyClass::MyEnum::BBB, "MyClass::MyEnum::BBB" },
        { MyClass::MyEnum::CCC, "MyClass::MyEnum::CCC" }
    };
    auto   it  = MyEnumStrings.find(e);
    return it == MyEnumStrings.end() ? "Out of range" : it->second;
}

int main()
{
   std::cout << magic(MyClass::MyEnum::AAA) <<'\n';
   std::cout << magic(MyClass::MyEnum::BBB) <<'\n';
   std::cout << magic(MyClass::MyEnum::CCC) <<'\n';
}

约束

请不要无价值的重复其他答案或基本链接。 请避免基于宏的臃肿答案,或尽量减少#define开销。 请不要手动enum ->字符串映射。

一个可能的想法是使用c++编译器功能,在编译时使用基于可变参数模板类和constexpr函数的元编程技巧来生成c++代码……


当前回答

嗯,还有另一个选择。一个典型的用例是,您需要为HTTP谓词使用常量,并使用其字符串版本值。

示例:

int main () {

  VERB a = VERB::GET;
  VERB b = VERB::GET;
  VERB c = VERB::POST;
  VERB d = VERB::PUT;
  VERB e = VERB::DELETE;


  std::cout << a.toString() << std::endl;

  std::cout << a << std::endl;

  if ( a == VERB::GET ) {
    std::cout << "yes" << std::endl;
  }

  if ( a == b ) {
    std::cout << "yes" << std::endl;
  }

  if ( a != c ) {
    std::cout << "no" << std::endl;
  }

}

VERB类:

// -----------------------------------------------------------
// -----------------------------------------------------------
class VERB {

private:

  // private constants
  enum Verb {GET_=0, POST_, PUT_, DELETE_};

  // private string values
  static const std::string theStrings[];

  // private value
  const Verb value;
  const std::string text;

  // private constructor
  VERB (Verb v) :
  value(v), text (theStrings[v])
  {
    // std::cout << " constructor \n";
  }

public:

  operator const char * ()  const { return text.c_str(); }

  operator const std::string ()  const { return text; }

  const std::string toString () const { return text; }

  bool operator == (const VERB & other) const { return (*this).value == other.value; }

  bool operator != (const VERB & other) const { return ! ( (*this) == other); }

  // ---

  static const VERB GET;
  static const VERB POST;
  static const VERB PUT;
  static const VERB DELETE;

};

const std::string VERB::theStrings[] = {"GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"};

const VERB VERB::GET = VERB ( VERB::Verb::GET_ );
const VERB VERB::POST = VERB ( VERB::Verb::POST_ );
const VERB VERB::PUT = VERB ( VERB::Verb::PUT_ );
const VERB VERB::DELETE = VERB ( VERB::Verb::DELETE_ );
// end of file

其他回答

我不知道你是否会喜欢这个,我对这个解决方案不太满意,但它是一个c++ 14友好的方法,因为它使用模板变量和滥用模板专门化:

enum class MyEnum : std::uint_fast8_t {
   AAA,
   BBB,
   CCC,
};

template<MyEnum> const char MyEnumName[] = "Invalid MyEnum value";
template<> const char MyEnumName<MyEnum::AAA>[] = "AAA";
template<> const char MyEnumName<MyEnum::BBB>[] = "BBB";
template<> const char MyEnumName<MyEnum::CCC>[] = "CCC";

int main()
{
    // Prints "AAA"
    std::cout << MyEnumName<MyEnum::AAA> << '\n';
    // Prints "Invalid MyEnum value"
    std::cout << MyEnumName<static_cast<MyEnum>(0x12345678)> << '\n';
    // Well... in fact it prints "Invalid MyEnum value" for any value
    // different of MyEnum::AAA, MyEnum::BBB or MyEnum::CCC.

    return 0;
}

这种方法最糟糕的地方是维护起来很痛苦,但维护其他一些类似的方法也很痛苦,不是吗?

这种方法的优点:

使用可变温度(c++ 14特性) 使用模板专门化,我们可以在使用无效值时“检测”(但我不确定这是否有用)。 看起来很整洁。 名称查找在编译时完成。

生活的例子

Edit

你是对的;c++ 14变量模板方法不处理运行时情况,这是我的错,忘记了它:(

但是我们仍然可以使用一些现代c++特性和变量模板加上变进模板技巧来实现从枚举值到字符串的运行时转换…它和其他一样麻烦,但仍然值得一提。

让我们开始使用模板别名来缩短对枚举到字符串映射的访问:

// enum_map contains pairs of enum value and value string for each enum
// this shortcut allows us to use enum_map<whatever>.
template <typename ENUM>
using enum_map = std::map<ENUM, const std::string>;

// This variable template will create a map for each enum type which is
// instantiated with.
template <typename ENUM>
enum_map<ENUM> enum_values{};

然后,变值模板诡计:

template <typename ENUM>
void initialize() {}

template <typename ENUM, typename ... args>
void initialize(const ENUM value, const char *name, args ... tail)
{
    enum_values<ENUM>.emplace(value, name);
    initialize<ENUM>(tail ...);
}

这里的“最佳技巧”是为map使用变量template,其中包含每个枚举条目的值和名称;这个映射在每个翻译单元中都是相同的,并且到处都有相同的名称,所以非常简单明了,如果我们像这样调用initialize函数:

initialize
(
    MyEnum::AAA, "AAA",
    MyEnum::BBB, "BBB",
    MyEnum::CCC, "CCC"
);

我们正在为每个MyEnum条目签名,并且可以在运行时使用:

std::cout << enum_values<MyEnum>[MyEnum::AAA] << '\n';

但是可以通过SFINAE和重载<<运算符进行改进:

template<typename ENUM, class = typename std::enable_if<std::is_enum<ENUM>::value>::type>
std::ostream &operator <<(std::ostream &o, const ENUM value)
{
    static const std::string Unknown{std::string{typeid(ENUM).name()} + " unknown value"};
    auto found = enum_values<ENUM>.find(value);

    return o << (found == enum_values<ENUM>.end() ? Unknown : found->second);
}

使用正确的操作符<<,现在我们可以这样使用枚举:

std::cout << MyEnum::AAA << '\n';

维护这一点也很麻烦,可以改进,但希望您能理解。

生活的例子

这和尤里·芬克尔斯坦的观点相似;但不需要提高。我正在使用一个地图,所以你可以分配任何值枚举,任何顺序。

枚举类的声明为:

DECLARE_ENUM_WITH_TYPE(TestEnumClass, int32_t, ZERO = 0x00, TWO = 0x02, ONE = 0x01, THREE = 0x03, FOUR);

下面的代码将自动创建枚举类并重载:

'+' '+='用于std::string '<<'用于流 '~'只是转换为字符串(任何一元运算符都可以,但我个人不喜欢它的清晰度) '*'获取枚举的计数

不需要boost,提供所有需要的功能。

代码:

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

#define STRING_REMOVE_CHAR(str, ch) str.erase(std::remove(str.begin(), str.end(), ch), str.end())

    std::vector<std::string> vecString;
    std::string item;

    std::stringstream stringStream(str);

    while (std::getline(stringStream, item, sep))
    {
        vecString.push_back(item);
    }

    return vecString;
}

很长一段时间以来,我也一直为这个问题感到沮丧,还有以适当的方式将类型转换为字符串的问题。然而,对于最后一个问题,我对在标准c++中打印变量类型是否可能解释的解决方案感到惊讶?,使用的思想从Can I obtain c++ type name in a constexpr way?使用这种技术,可以构造一个类似的函数来获取枚举值为string:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class static_string
{
    const char* const p_;
    const std::size_t sz_;

public:
    typedef const char* const_iterator;

    template <std::size_t N>
    constexpr static_string(const char(&a)[N]) noexcept
        : p_(a)
        , sz_(N - 1)
    {}

    constexpr static_string(const char* p, std::size_t N) noexcept
        : p_(p)
        , sz_(N)
    {}

    constexpr const char* data() const noexcept { return p_; }
    constexpr std::size_t size() const noexcept { return sz_; }

    constexpr const_iterator begin() const noexcept { return p_; }
    constexpr const_iterator end()   const noexcept { return p_ + sz_; }

    constexpr char operator[](std::size_t n) const
    {
        return n < sz_ ? p_[n] : throw std::out_of_range("static_string");
    }
};

inline std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, static_string const& s)
{
    return os.write(s.data(), s.size());
}

#elif defined(_MSC_VER)
    static_string p = __FUNCSIG__;
    return static_string(p.data() + 37, p.size() - 37 - 7);
#endif

}

{
    template <class Enum>
    struct EnumWrapper
    {
        template < Enum enu >
        static static_string name()
        {
#ifdef __clang__
            static_string p = __PRETTY_FUNCTION__;
            static_string enumType = typeName<Enum>();
            return static_string(p.data() + 73 + enumType.size(), p.size() - 73 - enumType.size() - 1);
#elif defined(_MSC_VER)
            static_string p = __FUNCSIG__;
            static_string enumType = typeName<Enum>();
            return static_string(p.data() + 57 + enumType.size(), p.size() - 57 - enumType.size() - 7);
#endif
        }
    };
}

/// \brief Get the name of an enum value
template <typename Enum, Enum enu>
static_string enumName()
{
    return details::EnumWrapper<Enum>::template name<enu>();
}

enum class Color
{
    Blue = 0,
    Yellow = 1
};


int main() 
{
    std::cout << "_" << typeName<Color>() << "_"  << std::endl;
    std::cout << "_" << enumName<Color, Color::Blue>() << "_"  << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

上面的代码只在Clang(参见https://ideone.com/je5Quv)和VS2015上进行了测试,但是应该可以通过对整数常量进行一些调整来适应其他编译器。当然,它仍然在底层使用宏,但至少有一个宏不需要访问枚举实现。

我的解决方案是不使用宏。

优点:

你知道你在做什么 访问是通过哈希映射进行的,因此适用于许多有值枚举 不需要考虑顺序值或非连续值 既enum到字符串和字符串到enum转换,而添加的enum值必须添加在一个额外的地方

缺点:

您需要将所有枚举值复制为文本 哈希映射中的访问必须考虑字符串大小写 维护如果添加值是痛苦的-必须添加在enum和直接翻译映射

所以…直到c++实现c# Enum。解析功能,我将坚持这个:

只需要生成枚举。为此目的编写一个生成器大约需要5分钟的工作。

生成器代码在java和python,超级容易移植到任何你喜欢的语言,包括c++。

而且非常容易扩展任何你想要的功能。

示例输入:

First = 5
Second
Third = 7
Fourth
Fifth=11

生成头文件:

#include <iosfwd>

enum class Hallo
{
    First = 5,
    Second = 6,
    Third = 7,
    Fourth = 8,
    Fifth = 11
};

std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream &, const Hallo&);

生成的CPP文件

#include <ostream>

#include "Hallo.h"

std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream &out, const Hallo&value)
{
    switch(value)
    {
    case Hallo::First:
        out << "First";
        break;
    case Hallo::Second:
        out << "Second";
        break;
    case Hallo::Third:
        out << "Third";
        break;
    case Hallo::Fourth:
        out << "Fourth";
        break;
    case Hallo::Fifth:
        out << "Fifth";
        break;
    default:
        out << "<unknown>";
    }

    return out;
}

生成器以非常简洁的形式作为移植和扩展的模板。这个示例代码确实试图避免覆盖任何文件,但使用它仍然要自担风险。
