模板类里面的模板函数的C++特化

Question

什么是专门用于模板类中的模板函数的C++语法？例如,考虑我有以下两个类及其用法.我希望能够为不同类型提供方法X :: getAThing()的专门实现.例如:int,std :: string,任意指针或类等.

template <class c1> class X {
public:
   template<typename returnT> returnT getAThing(std::string param);
   static std::string getName();
private:
   c1 theData;
};

// This works ok...
template <class c1> std::string X<c1>::getName() {
   return c1::getName();
}

// This blows up with the error:
// error: prototype for 'int X<c1>::getAThing(std::string)' does not match any in class 'X<c1>'
template <class c1> template <typename returnT> int X<c1>::getAThing(std::string param) {
   return getIntThing(param); // Some function that crunches on param and returns an int.
}

// More specialized definitions of getAThing() for other types/classes go here...

class Y {
public:
   static std::string getName() { return "Y"; }
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   X<Y> tester;
   int anIntThing = tester.getAThing<int>(std::string("param"));
   cout << "Name: " <<  tester.getName() << endl;
   cout << "An int thing: " << anIntThing << endl;
}

我一直试图猜测专业化的正确语法至少一个小时,并且无法解决任何可编译的问题.任何帮助将不胜感激!

Answer 1

AFAIK(以及标准专家可以纠正我),你不能专门化类模板的模板化功能而不专门化类本身......

即以下我认为将起作用:

template <> template <> int X<Y>::getAThing<int>(std::string param) {
   return getIntThing(param); // Some function that crunches on param and returns an int.
}

Answer 2

C++没有对函数模板进行部分特化的概念.但是,您可以通过函数重载获得与完全特化相同的效果.

我假设你有这样的东西,这实际上是唯一的方法之一.

template<class TYPE>
class MyInterface {
public:
    template<class RETURN>
    RETURN myFunction(RETURN& ref, ....);
};

在这种情况下,您通过声明具有所需类型的普通成员函数来专门化"myFunction()".C++的函数重载规则应该给你你想要的东西,例如

template<class TYPE>
class MyInterface {
public:
    template<class RETURN>
    RETURN myFunction(RETURN& ref, ....);

    // String specialization
    std::string myFunction(std::string& ref, ...);
};

编译器将在适当的地方使用"std :: string"函数,并且可能永远不会使用内部模板.

所以,我采取了不同的方法来回答你的问题.我将从你想要的东西开始,并且有效.然后,也许我们可以弄清楚如何将它置于更接近你真正想要的东西:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int getIntThing(const ::std::string &param);

template <typename returnT>
returnT getThingFree(const ::std::string &param);

template <>
int getThingFree<int>(const ::std::string &param)
{
   return getIntThing(param);
}

// More specialized definitions of getAThing() for other types/classes
// go here...

template <class c1> class X {
public:
   template<typename returnT> returnT getAThing(std::string param);
   static std::string getName();
private:
   c1 theData;
};

// This works ok...
template <class c1> std::string X<c1>::getName() {
   return c1::getName();
}

// This also works, but it would be nice if I could explicitly specialize
// this instead of having to explicitly specialize getThingFree.
template <class c1>
template <class RT>
RT X<c1>::getAThing(std::string param) {
   // Some function that crunches on param and returns an RT.
   // Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if I didn't have to redirect through
   // this free function?
   return getThingFree<RT>(param);
}

class Y {
public:
   static std::string getName() { return "Y"; }
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   using ::std::cout;
   X<Y> tester;
   int anIntThing = tester.getAThing<int>(std::string("param"));
   cout << "Name: " <<  tester.getName() << '\n';
   cout << "An int thing: " << anIntThing << '\n';
}

这是另一种有用的想法,并不是你想要的,但更接近.我想你自己已经想过了.它使用类型演绎的方式也相当丑陋.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

template <class c1> class X;

int getIntThing(const ::std::string &param)
{
   return param.size();
}

// You can partially specialize this, but only for the class, or the
// class and return type. You cannot partially specialize this for
// just the return type. OTOH, specializations will be able to access
// private or protected members of X<c1> as this class is declared a
// friend.
template <class c1>
class friendlyGetThing {
 public:
   template <typename return_t>
   static return_t getThing(X<c1> &xthis, const ::std::string &param,
                            return_t *);
};

// This can be partially specialized on either class, return type, or
// both, but it cannot be declared a friend, so will have no access to
// private or protected members of X<c1>.
template <class c1, typename return_t>
class getThingFunctor {
 public:
   typedef return_t r_t;

   return_t operator()(X<c1> &xthis, const ::std::string &param) {
      return_t *fred = 0;
      return friendlyGetThing<c1>::getThing(xthis, param, fred);
   }
};

template <class c1> class X {
public:
   friend class friendlyGetThing<c1>;

   template<typename returnT> returnT getAThing(std::string param) {
      return getThingFunctor<c1, returnT>()(*this, param);
   }
   static std::string getName();
private:
   c1 theData;
};

// This works ok...
template <class c1> std::string X<c1>::getName() {
   return c1::getName();
}

class Y {
public:
   static std::string getName() { return "Y"; }
};

template <class c1>
class getThingFunctor<c1, int> {
 public:
   int operator()(X<c1> &xthis, const ::std::string &param) {
      return getIntThing(param);
   }
};

// More specialized definitions of getAThingFunctor for other types/classes
// go here...

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   using ::std::cout;
   X<Y> tester;
   int anIntThing = tester.getAThing<int>(std::string("param"));
   cout << "Name: " <<  tester.getName() << '\n';
   cout << "An int thing: " << anIntThing << '\n';
}

我会建议宣布getThingFunctor和friendlyGetThing在半私营公用事业的命名空间.
