我编写了很多 C++ 代码，并且需要为我正在开发的一些游戏组件创建一个 Observer。我需要一些东西来将“帧开始”、“用户输入”等作为游戏中的事件分发给感兴趣的各方。
我还希望可以处理的事件有更多的粒度。我有很多小事情发生了......我不需要让有兴趣为下一帧重置的部分担心用户输入的变化。
我还希望它是纯 C++，不依赖于平台或特定技术（如 boost、Qt 等），因为我经常在不同的项目中构建和重用组件（以及它们背后的想法）。
这是我提出的解决方案的粗略草图：
- Observer 是一个带有键（枚举值，而不是字符串；这是一个速度折衷，因为键没有经过散列搜索，但这意味着没有简单的“字符串”名称，您必须提前定义它们）以便主题注册兴趣。因为是单例，所以一直存在。
- 每个主题都派生自一个公共基类。基类有一个抽象虚函数 Notify(...) 必须在派生类中实现，以及一个析构函数，当它被删除时，它会从 Observer 中删除（它总是可以到达）。
- 在观察者本身内部，如果在 Notify(...) 正在进行时调用 Detach(...)，则任何分离的 Subjects 最终都会出现在列表中。
- 当在 Observer 上调用 Notify(...) 时，它会创建主题列表的临时副本。当它迭代它时，它将它与最近分离的进行比较。如果目标不在其上，则在目标上调用 Notify(...)。否则，将被跳过。
- Observer 中的 Notify(...) 还跟踪处理级联调用的深度（A 通知 B、C、D，并且 D.Notify(...) 触发对 E 的 Notify(...) 调用， ETC。）
这是界面最终的样子：
/*
The Notifier is a singleton implementation of the Subject/Observer design
pattern. Any class/instance which wishes to participate as an observer
of an event can derive from the Notified base class and register itself
with the Notiifer for enumerated events.
Notifier derived classes MUST implement the notify function, which has
a prototype of:
void Notify(const NOTIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_T& event)
This is a data object passed from the Notifier class. The structure
passed has a void* in it. There is no illusion of type safety here
and it is the responsibility of the user to ensure it is cast properly.
In most cases, it will be "NULL".
Classes derived from Notified do not need to deregister (though it may
be a good idea to do so) as the base class destructor will attempt to
remove itself from the Notifier system automatically.
The event type is an enumeration and not a string as it is in many
"generic" notification systems. In practical use, this is for a closed
application where the messages will be known at compile time. This allows
us to increase the speed of the delivery by NOT having a
dictionary keyed lookup mechanism. Some loss of generality is implied
by this.
This class/system is NOT thread safe, but could be made so with some
mutex wrappers. It is safe to call Attach/Detach as a consequence
of calling Notify(...).

注意：Notified 类有一个函数，Notify(...) 这里。因为 void* 不是类型安全的，所以我创建了其他版本，其中 notify 如下所示：
virtual void Notify(Notifier::NOTIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_T eventType, int value);
virtual void Notify(Notifier::NOTIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_T eventType, const string& str);
相应的 Notify(...) 方法已添加到通知程序本身。所有这些都使用一个函数来获取“目标列表”，然后在目标上调用适当的函数。这很好用，并且使接收器不必进行难看的演员表。
这似乎运作良好。该解决方案与源代码一起发布在网络上。这是一个相对较新的设计，因此非常感谢任何反馈。
