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

这是我在c++ 20中发现的最简洁的方法,非常接近你的问题:

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

其他回答

我知道这个问题已经存在多年了,但我认为对像我这样的人来说,有一个更完整的更新的答案是有用的,它也适用于const重载方法,如std::vector::begin。

基于这个答案和我接下来的问题,这里有一个更完整的答案。注意,这只适用于c++ 11及更高版本。

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

class EmptyClass{};

template <typename T>
class has_begin
{
    private:
    has_begin() = delete;
    
    struct one { char x[1]; };
    struct two { char x[2]; };

    template <typename C> static one test( decltype(void(std::declval<C &>().begin())) * ) ;
    template <typename C> static two test(...);    

public:
    static constexpr bool value = sizeof(test<T>(0)) == sizeof(one);
};
    
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << "vector<int>::begin() exists: " << has_begin<std::vector<int>>::value << std::endl;
    std::cout << "EmptyClass::begin() exists: " << has_begin<EmptyClass>::value << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

或者更短的版本:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

class EmptyClass{};

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

template <typename T>
struct has_begin<T, decltype(void(std::declval<T &>().begin()))> : std::true_type {};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << "vector<int>::begin() exists: " << has_begin<std::vector<int>>::value << std::endl;
    std::cout << "EmptyClass exists: " << has_begin<EmptyClass>::value << std::endl;
}

注意,这里必须提供一个完整的示例调用。这意味着如果我们测试resize方法是否存在,那么我们将输入resize(0)。

深魔解释:

这个问题的第一个答案使用了test(decltype(&C::helloworld));然而,当它所测试的方法由于const重载而模棱两可时,这就有问题了,从而导致替换尝试失败。

为了解决这种模糊性,我们使用了一个void语句,它可以接受任何参数,因为它总是被转换为noop,因此模糊性是无效的,并且只要方法存在,调用就有效:

has_begin<T, decltype(void(std::declval<T &>().begin()))>

以下是依次发生的事情: 我们使用std::declval<T &>()来创建一个可调用值,然后可以调用begin。在此之后,begin的值作为参数传递给void语句。然后使用内置decltype检索该void表达式的类型,以便将其用作模板类型参数。如果begin不存在,则替换无效,根据SFINAE,将使用其他声明。

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;
}

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, struct4>::value << std::endl; // true

    std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, struct5>::value << std::endl; // false
    std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, struct6>::value << std::endl; // false
    std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, struct7>::value << std::endl; // false
    std::cout << is_supported<has_foo, struct8>::value << std::endl; // false

    return 0;
}

可能不像其他例子那么好,但这是我为c++ 11想出的。这适用于选择重载方法。

template <typename... Args>
struct Pack {};

#define Proxy(T) ((T &)(*(int *)(nullptr)))

template <typename Class, typename ArgPack, typename = nullptr_t>
struct HasFoo
{
    enum { value = false };
};

template <typename Class, typename... Args>
struct HasFoo<
    Class,
    Pack<Args...>,
    decltype((void)(Proxy(Class).foo(Proxy(Args)...)), nullptr)>
{
    enum { value = true };
};

示例使用

struct Object
{
    int foo(int n)         { return n; }
#if SOME_CONDITION
    int foo(int n, char c) { return n + c; }
#endif
};

template <bool has_foo_int_char>
struct Dispatcher;

template <>
struct Dispatcher<false>
{
    template <typename Object>
    static int exec(Object &object, int n, char c)
    {
        return object.foo(n) + c;
    }
};

template <>
struct Dispatcher<true>
{
    template <typename Object>
    static int exec(Object &object, int n, char c)
    {
        return object.foo(n, c);
    }
};

int runExample()
{
    using Args = Pack<int, char>;
    enum { has_overload = HasFoo<Object, Args>::value };
    Object object;
    return Dispatcher<has_overload>::exec(object, 100, 'a');
}

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。
