SFINAE to check for inherited member functions_问答_开发者

Using SFINAE, i can detect wether a given class has a certain member function. But what if i want to test for inherited member functions?

The开发者_Python百科 following does not work in VC8 and GCC4 (i.e. detects that A has a member function foo(), but not that B inherits one):

#include <iostream>

template<typename T, typename Sig>                                 
struct has_foo {                     
    template <typename U, U> struct type_check;
    template <typename V> static char (& chk(type_check<Sig, &V::foo>*))[1];
    template <typename  > static char (& chk(...))[2]; 
    static bool const value = (sizeof(chk<T>(0)) == 1);
};

struct A {
    void foo();
};

struct B : A {};

int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    cout << boolalpha << has_foo<A, void (A::*)()>::value << endl; // true
    cout << boolalpha << has_foo<B, void (B::*)()>::value << endl; // false
}

So, is there a way to test for inherited member functions?

Take a look at this thread:

http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2009/01/44538.php

Derived from the code linked to in that discussion:

#include <iostream>

template <typename Type> 
class has_foo
{ 
   class yes { char m;}; 
   class no { yes m[2];}; 
   struct BaseMixin 
   { 
     void foo(){} 
   }; 
   struct Base : public Type, public BaseMixin {}; 
   template <typename T, T t>  class Helper{}; 
   template <typename U> 
   static no deduce(U*, Helper<void (BaseMixin::*)(), &U::foo>* = 0); 
   static yes deduce(...); 
public: 
   static const bool result = sizeof(yes) == sizeof(deduce((Base*)(0))); 
}; 

struct A {
    void foo();
};

struct B : A {};

struct C {};

int main()
{
    using namespace std;
    cout << boolalpha << has_foo<A>::result << endl;
    cout << boolalpha << has_foo<B>::result << endl;
    cout << boolalpha << has_foo<C>::result;
}

Result:

true
true
false

joshperry's answer is very clever and elegant, but (as it is stated below the post) it doesn't check the signature of foo() properly and doesn't work with fundamental types (like int): it causes a compiler error. I will propose a technique that handles inherited members correctly and also checks the signature of the member function. Instead of going into details I will give you two exampes and hope that the code will speak for itself.

Example1:

We are checking for a member with the following signature: T::const_iterator begin() const

template<class T> struct has_const_begin
{
    typedef char (&Yes)[1];
    typedef char (&No)[2];

    template<class U> 
    static Yes test(U const * data, 
                    typename std::enable_if<std::is_same<
                             typename U::const_iterator, 
                             decltype(data->begin())
                    >::value>::type * = 0);
    static No test(...);
    static const bool value = sizeof(Yes) == sizeof(has_const_begin::test((typename std::remove_reference<T>::type*)0));
};

Please notice that it even checks the constness of the method, and works with primitive types, as well. (I mean has_const_begin<int>::value is false and doesn't cause a compile-time error.)

Example 2

Now we are looking for the signature: void foo(MyClass&, unsigned)

template<class T> struct has_foo
{
    typedef char (&Yes)[1];
    typedef char (&No)[2];

    template<class U>
    static Yes test(U * data, MyClass* arg1 = 0,
                    typename std::enable_if<std::is_void<
                             decltype(data->foo(*arg1, 1u))
                    >::value>::type * = 0);
    static No test(...);
    static const bool value = sizeof(Yes) == sizeof(has_foo::test((typename std::remove_reference<T>::type*)0));
};

Please notice that MyClass doesn't has to be default constructible or to satisfy any special concept. The technique works with template members, as well.

I am eagerly waiting opinions regarding this.

Here are some usage snippets: *The guts for all this are farther down

Check for member x in a given class. Could be var, func, class, union, or enum:

CREATE_MEMBER_CHECK(x);
bool has_x = has_member_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

Check for member function void x():

//Func signature MUST have T as template variable here... simpler this way :\
CREATE_MEMBER_FUNC_SIG_CHECK(x, void (T::*)(), void__x);
bool has_func_sig_void__x = has_member_func_void__x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

Check for member variable x:

CREATE_MEMBER_VAR_CHECK(x);
bool has_var_x = has_member_var_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

Check for member class x:

CREATE_MEMBER_CLASS_CHECK(x);
bool has_class_x = has_member_class_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

Check for member union x:

CREATE_MEMBER_UNION_CHECK(x);
bool has_union_x = has_member_union_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

Check for member enum x:

CREATE_MEMBER_ENUM_CHECK(x);
bool has_enum_x = has_member_enum_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

Check for any member function x regardless of signature:

CREATE_MEMBER_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_VAR_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_CLASS_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_UNION_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_ENUM_CHECK(x);
CREATE_MEMBER_FUNC_CHECK(x);
bool has_any_func_x = has_member_func_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

CREATE_MEMBER_CHECKS(x);  //Just stamps out the same macro calls as above.
bool has_any_func_x = has_member_func_x<class_to_check_for_x>::value;

Details and core:

/*
    - Multiple inheritance forces ambiguity of member names.
    - SFINAE is used to make aliases to member names.
    - Expression SFINAE is used in just one generic has_member that can accept
      any alias we pass it.
*/

//Variadic to force ambiguity of class members.  C++11 and up.
template <typename... Args> struct ambiguate : public Args... {};

//Non-variadic version of the line above.
//template <typename A, typename B> struct ambiguate : public A, public B {};

template<typename A, typename = void>
struct got_type : std::false_type {};

template<typename A>
struct got_type<A> : std::true_type {
    typedef A type;
};

template<typename T, T>
struct sig_check : std::true_type {};

template<typename Alias, typename AmbiguitySeed>
struct has_member {
    template<typename C> static char ((&f(decltype(&C::value))))[1];
    template<typename C> static char ((&f(...)))[2];

    //Make sure the member name is consistently spelled the same.
    static_assert(
        (sizeof(f<AmbiguitySeed>(0)) == 1)
        , "Member name specified in AmbiguitySeed is different from member name specified in Alias, or wrong Alias/AmbiguitySeed has been specified."
    );

    static bool const value = sizeof(f<Alias>(0)) == 2;
};

As all of the answers look too complicated to me, I'd like to introduce my own solution using `std::declval` and `std::enable_if` (GCC 4.8.3)

#define MEMBER_FUNC_CHECKER(name, fn, ret, args) \
template<class C, typename=void> struct name : std::false_type {}; \
template<class C> struct name<C, typename std::enable_if< \
  std::is_convertible<decltype(std::declval<C>().fn args), ret \
  >::value>::type> : std::true_type {};

NOTE: It is not precise check for signature, but for callable function with convertible return type. (edit: changed from is_same to is_convertible)

Test

    int get() { return 0; }
    int add(int x, int y) { return x+y; }
};
