C++ 中的重载 lambda 以及 clang 和 gcc 之间的区别

Question

我正在尝试在 C++ 中重载 lambda 的技巧。具体来说：

// For std::function
#include <functional>

// For std::string
#include <string>

// For std::cout
#include <iostream>

template <class... F>
struct overload : F... {
    overload(F... f) : F(f)... {}
};      

template <class... F>
auto make_overload(F... f) {
    return overload<F...>(f...);
}

int main() {

    std::function <int(int,int)> f = [](int x,int y) {
        return x+y;
    };
    std::function <double(double,double)> g = [](double x,double y) {
        return x+y;
    };
    std::function <std::string(std::string,std::string)> h = [](std::string x,std::string y) {
        return x+y;
    };

    auto fgh = make_overload(f,g,h);
    std::cout << fgh(1,2) << std::endl;
    std::cout << fgh(1.5,2.5) << std::endl;
    std::cout << fgh("bob","larry") << std::endl;
}

现在，上面的程序在 clang 中编译并运行良好：

$ clang++ -g -std=c++14 test01.cpp -o test01
$ ./test01

boblarry

它不能在 gcc 中编译:

$ g++ -g -std=c++14 test01.cpp -o test01
test01.cpp: In function 'int main()':

Makefile:2: recipe for target 'all' failed

为什么会有差异？作为记录，我使用的是 gcc 4.9.2 和 clang 3.5.0。

显然，这段代码在 VC 上也无法编译，并且已经在 reported 上编译。也就是说，Sean Middleditch 发布了重载代码的工作版本：

template<class F1, class... Fs>
struct overload : F1, overload<Fs...>
{
    using F1::operator();
    using overload<Fs...>::operator();
    overload(F1 f1, Fs... fs) : F1(f1), overload<Fs...>(fs...) {}
};

template<class F1>
struct overload<F1> : F1
{
    using F1::operator();
    overload(F1 f1) : F1(f1) {}
};


template <class... F>
auto make_overload(F... f) {
    return overload<F...>(f...);
}

我仍然有兴趣了解为什么这个版本的重载 lambda 代码可以工作，而原来的那个却不行。

Answer 1

原代码不应该编译，这里gcc是正确的。见 [class.member.lookup]:

Otherwise (i.e., C does not contain a declaration of f or the resulting declaration set is empty), S(f,C) is initially empty. If C has base classes, calculate the lookup set for f in each direct base class subobject Bi, and merge each such lookup set S(f,Bi) in turn into S(f,C).
— [..]
— Otherwise, if the declaration sets of S(f,Bi) and S(f,C) differ, the merge is ambiguous...

初始声明集为空（overload 没有方法）- 所以合并所有的基，它们都有不同的集。所以合并应该失败。该规则仅在 overload 的声明集为空时才适用，这就是显式添加 using F1::operator() 的原因。

Answer 2

在我看来像是一个 Clang 错误。

一般规则是不同基class中的同名成员函数不重载。例如：

struct Foo { void bar(); };
struct Baz { void bar(int); };
struct Quux : Foo, Baz { };

int main() { Quux().bar(); } // error on both GCC and Clang

无论出于何种原因，Clang 都无法诊断出 operator() 的歧义。

A using-declaration 将命名基 class 成员提升到派生 class 范围，允许它们重载。因此：

struct Quux_2 : Foo, Baz { using Foo::bar; using Baz::bar; };
Quux_2().bar(); // OK.

在代码的工作版本中，using 声明递归地将模板参数中的每个 operator() 声明带入最派生的 class 的范围内，允许它们重载.
