SFINAE 用于检测非成员模板函数的存在

Question

TL;DR 我想写一个模板函数 Process(T value) 它根据非成员函数的存在对不同的值表现不同 CreateProcessor<T>().我能为此做什么？

我对 SFINAE 有疑问。假设我们需要支持函数 CreateProcessor，即 return 是某种类型 T.

接口 IProcessor<T> 的实现

在 C++ 中，我们不能创建仅 return 类型不同的函数的多个重载，因此我们必须使函数 CreateProcessor 也成为由 T 参数化的模板函数.

现在假设我们要编写一个模板函数 Process<T>(T value)，它根据 CreateProcessor<T>() 的存在而工作不同，即它应该使用处理器处理 value 以防 [=13] =] 已实现，否则会导致错误。

我尝试编写以下代码：

#include <cstdio>
#include <type_traits>

// A workaround for void_t as described here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/void_t.
template<typename... Ts> struct make_void { typedef void type;};
template<typename... Ts> using void_t = typename make_void<Ts...>::type;

// An interface for a processor that receives a value of specific type.
template<class T>
class IProcessor {
public:
    virtual void process(T value) = 0;
};

// A processor for int.
class IntProcessor : public IProcessor<int> {
public:
    virtual void process(int value) override {
        printf("IntProcessor::process is called for value = %d\n", value);
    }
};

// Template prototype.
template<class T> 
IProcessor<T>* CreateProcessor();

// Template specialization for int.
template<>
IProcessor<int>* CreateProcessor() {
    return new IntProcessor();
}

// Detector of CreateProcessor.
template<class, class=void>
struct CreateProcessorImplemented : std::false_type { };

template<class T>
struct CreateProcessorImplemented<T, void_t<decltype(CreateProcessor<T>())>> : std::true_type { };


// Specializations depending on existence of CreateProcessor.
template <typename T>
typename std::enable_if<CreateProcessorImplemented<T>::value, void>::type Process(T value) {
    IProcessor<T>* processor = CreateProcessor<T>();
    processor->process(value);
}

template <typename T>
typename std::enable_if<!CreateProcessorImplemented<T>::value, void>::type Process(T value) {
    printf("Processor for requested typename is unavailable\n");
}


int main() {
    Process(42);
    Process("abc");

// static_assert(!CreateProcessorImplemented<char const*>::value, ":(");
/* This static_assert fails with an error:
 * code.cpp:56:5: error: static assertion failed: :(
 *      static_assert(!CreateProcessorImplemented<char const*>::value, ":(");
 */
}

尽管这会导致链接错误：

/tmp/ccTQRc9N.o:code.cpp:function std::enable_if<CreateProcessorImplemented<char const*, void>::value, void>::type Process<char const*>(char const*): error: undefined reference to 'IProcessor<char const*>* CreateProcessor<char const*>()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

我的想法是，当我们解析 CreateProcessorImplemented<char const*> 时，decltype(CreateProcessor<const char*>()) 不会失败，因为有一个模板原型 IProcessor<T> CreateProcessor() 并且编译器认为 decltype 等于 IProcessor<T> 这在某种程度上是合乎逻辑的，但不是我需要的。

使其工作的一种方法是使用包装器结构来运行 CreateProcessor，如下所示：

#include <cstdio>
#include <type_traits>

// A workaround for void_t as described here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/void_t.
template<typename... Ts> struct make_void { typedef void type;};
template<typename... Ts> using void_t = typename make_void<Ts...>::type;

// An interface for a processor that receives a value of specific type.
template<class T>
class IProcessor {
public:
    virtual void process(T value) = 0;
};

// A processor for int.
class IntProcessor : public IProcessor<int> {
public:
    virtual void process(int value) override {
        printf("IntProcessor::process is called for value = %d\n", value);
    }
};

// Template prototype.
template<class T>
struct ProcessorCreator: std::false_type { 
   static IProcessor<T>* CreateProcessor();
};

// Template specialization for int.
template<>
struct ProcessorCreator<int>: std::true_type {
static IProcessor<int>* CreateProcessor() {
    return new IntProcessor();
}
};

// Detector of CreateProcessor.
template<class, class=void>
struct CreateProcessorImplemented : std::false_type { };

template<class T>
struct CreateProcessorImplemented<T, typename std::enable_if<ProcessorCreator<T>::value>::type > : std::true_type { };


// Specializations depending on existence of CreateProcessor.
template <typename T>
typename std::enable_if<CreateProcessorImplemented<T>::value, void>::type Process(T value) {
    IProcessor<T>* processor = ProcessorCreator<T>::CreateProcessor();
    processor->process(value);
}

template <typename T>
typename std::enable_if<!CreateProcessorImplemented<T>::value, void>::type Process(T value) {
    printf("Processor for requested typename is unavailable\n");
}


int main() {
    Process(42);
    Process("abc");

// static_assert(!CreateProcessorImplemented<char const*>::value, ":(");
/* This static_assert fails with an error:
 * code.cpp:56:5: error: static assertion failed: :(
 *      static_assert(!CreateProcessorImplemented<char const*>::value, ":(");
 */
}

或者，您可以删除模板声明并使用函数重载传递 IProcessor 模板参数类型——通过创建虚拟参数：

#include <cstdio>
#include <type_traits>

// A workaround for void_t as described here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/void_t.
template<typename... Ts> struct make_void { typedef void type;};
template<typename... Ts> using void_t = typename make_void<Ts...>::type;

// An interface for a processor that receives a value of specific type.
template<class T>
class IProcessor {
public:
    virtual void process(T value) = 0;
};

// A processor for int.
class IntProcessor : public IProcessor<int> {
public:
    virtual void process(int value) override {
        printf("IntProcessor::process is called for value = %d\n", value);
    }
};


IProcessor<int>* CreateProcessor(const int&) {
    return new IntProcessor();
}

// Detector of CreateProcessor.
template<class, class=void>
struct CreateProcessorImplemented : std::false_type { };

template<class T>
struct CreateProcessorImplemented<T, void_t<decltype(CreateProcessor(std::declval<T>()))>> : std::true_type { };


// Specializations depending on existence of CreateProcessor.
template <typename T>
typename std::enable_if<CreateProcessorImplemented<T>::value, void>::type Process(T value) {
    IProcessor<T>* processor = CreateProcessor(value);
    processor->process(value);
}

template <typename T>
typename std::enable_if<!CreateProcessorImplemented<T>::value, void>::type Process(T value) {
    printf("Processor for requested typename is unavailable\n");
}


int main() {
    Process(42);
    Process("abc");

// static_assert(!CreateProcessorImplemented<char const*>::value, ":(");
/* This static_assert fails with an error:
 * code.cpp:56:5: error: static assertion failed: :(
 *      static_assert(!CreateProcessorImplemented<char const*>::value, ":(");
 */
}
