C++标准库(七)之traits技术
traits技术
原理:利用template的参数推导机制获取传入的参数型别。
template<typename T> struct Iter { typedef T value_type; .... } template<typename T> typename T::value_type func(T* ite) {return *ite;}
这种程度,依旧会遇到一个问题:如果不是一个class type(比如指针,引用),就无法进行正确的参数推导。可以使用模板偏特化来处理这种情形:
template<typename T> struct Iter<T*> { typename T value_type; };
我们需要处理的核心问题:通过traits技术如何获得iterator描述的型别?
template<typename T> struct iterator_traits { typedef typename T::iterator_category iterator_category; typedef typename T::value_type value_type; typedef typename T::difference_type difference_type; typedef typename T::pointer pointer; typedef typename T::reference reference; };
同时,iterator_traits必须对传入的型别为pointer和pointer-to-const者设计特化版本。
template<typename T> struct iterator_traits<T*> { ... typedef random_access_iterator_tag iterator_category; } template<typename T> struct iterator_traits<const T*> { ... typedef random_access_iretator_tag iterator_category; }
型别:
- value type:描述iterator指向对象的型别。
- difference type:描述两个iterator之间的距离,默认情况下使用C++内建的ptrdiff_t类型
- reference type:描述iterator所指向对象的引用
- pointer type:描述iterator所指向对象的指针
- iterator_category:描述迭代器的相应性别
- Input Iterator:只读迭代器
- Output Iterator:只写迭代器
- Forward Iterator:读写迭代器
- Bidirectional Iterator:双向移动迭代器,可读写
- Random Access Iterator:随机移动迭代器,可读写
利用重载机制,通过在编译期就为不同版本的迭代器选择不同版本的函数:
template<typename category,typename T,typename dis=ptrdiff_t,typename poin=T*,typename ref=T&> struct iterator { typedef category iterator_category; typedef T value_type; typedef dis difference_type; typedef poin pointer; typedef ref reference; }; struct input_iterator_tag {}; struct output_iterator_tag {}; struct forward_iterator_tag : public input_iterator_tag {}; struct bidirectional_iterator_tag : public forward_iterator_tag {}; struct random_access_iterator_tag : public bidirectional_iterator_tag {}; template <typename InputIterator,typename Distance> inline void __advance(InputIterator& iter,Distance n,input_iterator_tag) { while(n--) ++iter; } template <typename ForwardIterator,typename Distance> inline void __advance(ForwardIterator& iter,Distance n,forward_iterator_tag) { __advance(i,n,input_iterator_tag()); } template <typename BidirectionalIterator,typename Distance> inline void __advance(BidirectionalIterator& iter,Distance n,bidirectional_iterator_tag) { if(n > 0) while(n--) ++iter; if(n < 0) while(n--) --iter; } template <typename RandomAccessIterator,typename Distance> inline void __advance(RandomAccessIterator& iter,Distance n,random_access_iterator_tag) { iter += n; }
根据traits机制,需要使用以下 的包装器:
template <typename InputIterator,typename Distance> inline void __advance(InputIterator& iter,Distance n) { __advance(i,n,iteratir_traits<InputIterator>::iterator_category()); }
获取型别的函数:
template<typename Iterator> inline typename iterator_traits<Iterator>::iterator_category iteratir_category(const Iterator&) { typedef typename iterator_traits<Iterator>::iterator_category category; return category(); } template<typename Iterator> inline typename iterator_traits<Iterator>::distance_type* distance_type(const Iterator&) { return static_cast<typename iterator_traits<Iterator>::distance_type*>(0); } template<typename T> inline typename iterator_traits<Iterator>::value_type* value_type(const Iterator&) { return static_cast<typename iterator_traits<Iterator>::value_type*>(0); }
总结
设计适当的型别,是迭代器的责任。
设计适当的迭代器,是容器的责任。
__type_traits
traits技术弥补了C++语言本身的不足,但是traits技术不仅存在于Iterator之中,也存在于STL之中。iterator_traits负责萃取迭代器特性,__type_traits则负责萃取型别参数。此处的型别参数是指:这个型别是否具有non-trivial default ctor?是否具有non-trivial copy ctor?是否具有non-travial assignment operator?是否具有non-trravial dctor?如果没有的话,我们可以使用memcpy(),memmove()采取最有效的操作。否则的话,需要根据ctor,copy,dctor等进行复杂的操作。
可以使用如下类似与iterator_traits的方式:
__type_traits<T>::has_trivial_default_constructor __type_traits<T>::has_trivial_copy_constructor __type_traits<T>::has_trivial_assignment_operator __type_traits<T>::has_trivial_destructor __type_traits<T>::is_POD_type struct __true_type {}; struct __false_type {}; template<typename T> struct __type_traits { typedef __false_type has_trivial_default_constructor; typedef __false_type has_trivial_copy_constructor; typedef __false_type has_trivial_assignment_operator typedef __false_type has_trivial_destructor; typedef __false_type is_POD_type; }
STL为所有的内嵌性别定义最保守的值,然后再为体统提供类型(char,long,int,double)等设计适当的特化版本。
