我已经尝试了几个小时来编写一个派生自boost::variant. 但我不明白是什么问题（我不明白编译错误是什么意思）。

实现干净的boost::variant派生类的规则是什么？

#include <boost/variant.hpp>

class MyVariant : public boost::variant<char,bool>
{
public:    
       MyVariant ()          : boost::variant<char,bool>( ) {}

       template <typename T>
       MyVariant(      T& v) : boost::variant<char,bool>(v) {}

       template <typename T>
       MyVariant(const T& v) : boost::variant<char,bool>(v) {}
};

int main ()
{
      MyVariant a;
      MyVariant b = a;        //compilation error
  //  MyVariant c = MyVariant();
  //  MyVariant d (true);
  //  MyVariant e ('E');
}

为什么我要使用继承？（编辑以向@zaufi 提供更多详细信息）

  • 我想要一个空状态
  • 我想const char*接受string
  • 我想int接受long
  • 我想给出enum类型

例如，在伪 C++ 代码中，我希望：

class MyVariant : public boost::variant<char,bool,long,std::string>
{
  typedef boost::variant<char,bool,long,std::string> super;

public:    

  // I know here I should specialize templeted constructors
  // but I is more clear like that, isn't it?    
  MyVariant()              : super('e')             {} //empty -> char
  MyVariant(char        c) : super(std::string(1,c)){} //char  -> string
  MyVariant(const char* s) : super(std::string(s) ) {} //char* -> string
  MyVariant(int         v) : super(long       (v) ) {} //TODO boundaries    
  /* other constructors ... */

  enum Type
  {
    NONE,  //my empty state = char type
    BOOL,
    LONG,
    STRING
  };

  Type type() const { return (Type) which(); }    
};

基本代码段（在问题之上）已在不同平台上进行了测试

  • 提升 v1.33 + GCC 4.1 (Linux)
  • 提升 v1.52 + GCC 4.7 (MinGW)
  • 提升 v1.52 + Visual C++ 2010 (v10)

在我对 GCC 的两个版本的错误下方（如果它打扰某人，我可以删除两者中的一个......）

接受的答案和其他答案不回答问题。有充分的理由从 boost::variant 中获得。

  • 您想将方法添加到变体中，使其表现得更具多态性
  • 你想继续使用boost::apply_visitor(visitor(), variant)而不跳槽

这是一个MyVariant继承自boost::variant. 该代码需要 C++11 来继承boost::variant.

编辑：在派生类中实现的诸如相等比较之类的运算符boost::variant不会自动起作用。这是如何boost::variant实现的（意外）结果，它明确防止使用模板与“外来”类型进行比较。可以通过显式重载启用运算符，如示例中所示。

#include<iostream>
#include<boost/variant.hpp>

struct type_size_visitor : public boost::static_visitor<unsigned> {
  template <typename T>
  unsigned operator()(const T&) const { return sizeof(T); }
};

template <typename... Types>
class MyVariant : public boost::variant<Types...>
{
  using base_type = boost::variant<Types...>;
public:
  // inherit constructors
  using base_type::base_type;

  // add a new method
  unsigned type_size() { return boost::apply_visitor(type_size_visitor(), *this); }

  /* Inheriting operators from boost::variant does not
     work as it normally would. We have to add explicit
     overloads for the operators we want to use.
  */
  bool operator==(const MyVariant& rhs) const {
    // cast rhs to base and delegate to operator in base
    return base_type::operator==(static_cast<const base_type&>(rhs));
  }
};

int main() {
  MyVariant<std::string, char> v;
  v = 1;
  std::cout << v.type_size() << " " << sizeof(char) << std::endl;
  v = std::string("foo");
  std::cout << v.type_size() << " " << sizeof(std::string) << std::endl;

  // comparison operators need workaround shown above
  MyVariant<std::string, char> a, b;
  a = 1; b = 1;
  assert(a == b);
}

我想要一个空状态

boost::variant<boost::blank, bool, long, std::string>

那里。那要容易得多。不需要凌乱的继承。

我想给出枚举类型

enum Type
{
  NONE,
  BOOL,
  LONG,
  STRING
};

struct GetType : public boost::static_visitor<Type>
{
  Type operator()(boost::blank) {return NONE;}
  Type operator()(bool) {return BOOL;}
  Type operator()(long) {return LONG;}
  Type operator()(const std::string&) {return STRING;}
};

//Get the type
Type t = boost::apply_visitor(GetType(), theData);

那也很容易。另外，如果您向变体添加新类型，如果您不更新GetType以匹配，您的代码将会中断。

其他两个条件要求您使用类，但您不需要继承。你需要遏制。

typedef boost::variant<boost::blank, std::string, long> VarType;

class MyVariant
{
public:
    //Default construction will initialize with boost::blank.
    MyVariant(char c) : m_var(std::string(1,c)) {}
    MyVariant(const char* s) : m_var(std::string(s)) {}
    MyVariant(int v) : m_var(long(v)) {}
    MyVariant(long v) : m_var(long(v)) {}

    VarType &operator *() {return m_var;}
    const VarType &operator *() const {return m_var;}

private:
    VarType m_var;
};

...

Type t = boost::apply_visitor(GetType(), *theData);
