在专注于构建/破坏/复制(以及最终优化)的动态之前,您似乎没有意识到一个考虑因素:值不是多态的。
如果B
源自A
,
B b;
A a(b);
不会a
复制b
. 它只会复制到a
的b
子A
组件中。
与值不同,指针和引用是多态的:
B b;
B* pb = &b;
A* pa = pb;
B* pb2 = const_cast<B*>(pa);
实际上会导致 pa 指向 b 的 A 子组件,但pb
andpb2
指向同一个b
.
也就是说, avector<A>
包含 A values
,因此,
vecotr<A> v;
v.push_back(B());
将导致:
- 创建一个空的
v
;
- 创建一个临时 B();
- 使 v 足够大以包含 A
- 在 v.end() 处创建一个从临时 B 的 A 子组件复制的 A。
- 销毁临时B
并且 - 在函数结束时,
现在内存是干净的。
如果使用指针:
vector<A*> v;
v.push_back(new B());
将导致:
- 创建一个空
v
- 在堆上创建一个 B
- 放大 v 以包含 A*
- 将 B 的地址转换为其 A 的子组件地址(对于单一继承,它们很可能是相同的)
- 在 v.end() 处创建从 B 的转换地址复制的 A*(注意您正在转换指针,而不是对象)。
- 摧毁 v
- 销毁其中的 A*。
- 堆上的 B 还在(内存泄漏,因为没有其他方法可以访问它来删除它)
为避免泄漏,您应该:
- 在堆栈上创建 B,并获取其地址或...
- 使用 a
std::unique_ptr<A>
而不是A*
在向量中(这样,在向量销毁时,unique_ptr 被销毁,并且其析构函数销毁指向的 A 子对象,即具有虚拟析构函数将导致 B 的销毁。
下面的代码可以对上述问题进行更有效的演示:
