C++ 将模板参数包从一个可变参数模板传递到另一个模板会导致编译器错误

C++ passing template parameter pack from one variadic template to another causes compiler error

以下代码会导致编译器错误,但仅适用于 gcc(最高 5.2)和 clang(最高 3.7)。 VS2015 编译没有问题。 (对于 g++,您必须使用选项 -std=c++14)

//************************************************
template <int... items>
struct Sequence {
//************************************************
public:
  enum { size = sizeof...(items) };
  operator int() const { return data[rank - 1]; }
  Sequence& operator=(const Sequence& s) { rank = s.rank; return *this; }
  int get_rank() const { return rank; }
  bool first() { rank = 1; return true; }
  bool last() { rank = size; return true; }
  bool next() { return (rank < size) ? ++rank, true : false; }
  bool prev() { return (rank > 1) ? --rank, true : false; }
  bool is_first() { return rank == 1; }
  bool is_last() { return rank == size; }
protected:
  static const int data[sizeof... (items)];
  int rank = 1;
};

template <int... items> 
const int Sequence<items...>::data[sizeof...(items)] = { items... };


//************************************************
template <unsigned N, template <unsigned> class F, int... items> 
struct generate_sequence {
//************************************************
  typedef typename generate_sequence<N - 1, F, F<N>::value, items...>::result result;
};

//************************************************
template <template <unsigned> class F, int... items> 
struct generate_sequence<0, F, items...> {
//************************************************
  typedef Sequence<F<0>::value, items...> result;
};


//************************************************
template <int... coeffs>
struct polynomial {
//************************************************
  template <int var, int a0, int... ai> struct ipoly { enum { value = a0 + var * ipoly<var, ai...>::value }; };
  template <int var, int a0> struct ipoly<var, a0> { enum { value = a0 + 0 * var }; };

  template <unsigned index>
  class number_generator { public: enum { value = ipoly<index + 1, coeffs...>::value }; };
};


//************************************************
template <unsigned N>
class NaturalNumbers : public generate_sequence<N - 1, polynomial<0,1>::number_generator>::result {};
//************************************************

//************************************************
template <unsigned N, int... coeffs>
class PolynomialNumbers : public generate_sequence<N - 1, polynomial<coeffs...>::number_generator>::result {};
//************************************************

int main() {
  NaturalNumbers<10> nn;
  PolynomialNumbers<10,0,1> pn;
}

编译器输出如下:

bug.cpp:59:98: error: type/value mismatch at argument 2 in template parameter list for 'template<unsigned int N, template<unsigned int <anonymous> > class F, int ...items> struct generate_sequence'
 class PolynomialNumbers : public generate_sequence<N - 1, polynomial<coeffs...>::number_generator>::result {};
                                                                                                  ^
bug.cpp:59:98: note:   expected a class template, got 'polynomial<coeffs ...>::number_generator'
bug.cpp:59:101: error: expected '{' before 'result'

                                                                                                     ^

   PolynomialNumbers<10,0,1> pn;
                           ^

这是编译器错误还是代码有问题?对我来说,关键在于

expected a class template, got 'polynomial::number_generator'

的编译器输出。编译器显然没有意识到 'polynomial::number_generator' 实际上是一个模板。你是什​​么意思?

因为 number_generator 是一个 dependent 名字,你必须在它前面加上 template 关键词:

template <unsigned N, int... coeffs>
class PolynomialNumbers 
: public generate_sequence<
      N - 1, 
      polynomial<coeffs...>::template number_generator
                          // ^^^^^^^^
      >::result 
{};

作为旁注,最好避免在任何地方传递模板模板并尝试重写您的 number_generator 使其更像一个元函数 class:

class number_generator {
public: 
    template <unsigned index>
    using apply = ipoly<index + 1, coeffs...>;
};

这将使您的所有代码更容易,因为类型是第一个 class 公民,任何不是类型的东西(即模板模板或值)都很难处理。
