std::is_constructible 没有给出正确的结果

std::is_constructible doesn't give the correct result

源自 this CodeReview 主题:

#include <cstddef>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
#include <utility>

template <typename T>
class aggregate_wrapper : public T {
private:
  using base = T;

public:
  using aggregate_type = T;

  template <typename... Ts>
  aggregate_wrapper(Ts&&... xs)
      : base{std::forward<Ts>(xs)...} {
    // nop
  }
};

struct foo_t {
  foo_t(int) {}  
};

int main() {
  std::cout << std::is_constructible<foo_t>::value << std::endl;
  std::cout << std::is_constructible<aggregate_wrapper<foo_t>>::value << std::endl;
  // aggregate_wrapper<foo_t> v; // won't compile
}

aggregate_wrapper<foo_t> v; 没有实际编译时,std::is_constructible<aggregate_wrapper<foo_t>>::value 怎么可能是真的?

在 C++ 标准中,在 is_constructible 描述中,有这个 innocent-looking 引用:

Only the validity of the immediate context of the [imaginary v] variable initialization is considered.

然后注释解释其含义:

The evaluation of the initialization can result in side effects such as the instantiation of class template specializations and function template specializations, the generation of implicitly-defined functions, and so on. Such side effects are not in the immediate context and can result in the program being ill-formed.

我的解释是当你写:

aggregate_wrapper<foo_t> v;

您正在使用 aggregate_wrapper 的默认构造函数,它存在并且可以访问,因此它成功了,至少在 直接上下文 中是这样。然后,non-immediate 上下文包含构造函数的主体,这失败了,但这不会改变 is_constructible.

的结果
