c++ - “运算符 bool() const”是什么意思

Question

例如：

operator bool() const 
{ 
    return col != 0; 
}

col是一个整数。如何operator bool() const工作？

Answer 1

表单的成员函数

operator TypeName()

是转换运算符。它们允许使用类类型的对象，就好像它们是类型的一样TypeName，当它们是类型时，它们被转换为TypeName使用转换函数。

在这种特殊情况下，operator bool()允许使用类类型的对象，就好像它是bool. 例如，如果您有一个名为 的类类型的对象，则obj可以将其用作

if (obj)

这将调用operator bool()，返回结果，并将结果用作 的条件if。

应该注意的是，这operator bool()是一个非常糟糕的主意，你真的不应该使用它。有关它为什么不好以及问题的解决方案的详细说明，请参阅“安全布尔成语”。

（C++0x 是即将到来的 C++ 标准修订版，增加了对显式转换运算符的支持。这将允许您编写一个explicit operator bool()正常工作的保险箱，而无需跳过实现 Safe Bool Idiom 的麻烦。）

Answer 2

operator bool() const 
{
    return col != 0;
}

定义类如何转换为布尔值，const后面的()用来表示这个方法不会发生变异（改变这个类的成员）。

您通常会使用如下运算符：

airplaysdk sdkInstance;
if (sdkInstance) {
    std::cout << "Instance is active" << std::endl;
} else {
    std::cout << "Instance is in-active error!" << std::endl;
}

Answer 3

我想提供更多代码以使其清楚。

struct A
{
    operator bool() const { return true; }
};

struct B
{
    explicit operator bool() const { return true; }
};

int main()
{
    A a1;
    if (a1) cout << "true" << endl; // OK: A::operator bool()
    bool na1 = a1; // OK: copy-initialization selects A::operator bool()
    bool na2 = static_cast<bool>(a1); // OK: static_cast performs direct-initialization

    B b1;     
    if (b1) cout << "true" << endl; // OK: B::operator bool()
    // bool nb1 = b1; // error: copy-initialization does not consider B::operator bool()
    bool nb2 = static_cast<bool>(b1); // OK: static_cast performs direct-initialization
}

Answer 4

它是用户定义的implicit转换函数，可将您的类转换为true或false。

//usage
bool value = yourclassinstance; //yourclassinstance is converted into bool!

Answer 5

这是一个隐式转换为bool. 即在任何允许隐式转换的地方，您的类都可以bool通过调用该方法来转换。

Answer 6

正如其他人所说，它用于类型转换，在这种情况下为bool. 例如：

class A {
    bool isItSafe;

public:
    operator bool() const
    {
        return isItSafe;
    }

    ...
};

现在我可以使用这个类的一个对象，就好像它是一个布尔值一样：

A a;
...
if (a) {
    ....
}

Answer 7

在编写自己的 unique_ptr 时，我发现了这种情况。给定std::unique_ptr的operator==：

template<class T1, class D1, class T2, class D2>
bool operator==(const unique_ptr<T1, D1>& x, const unique_ptr<T2, D2>& y);

template <class T, class D>
bool operator==(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t) noexcept;

template <class T, class D>
bool operator==(nullptr_t, const unique_ptr<T, D>& x) noexcept;

这个来自libstdcxx的测试用例：

  std::unique_ptr<int> ptr;
  if (ptr == 0)
    { }
  if (0 == ptr)
    { }
  if (ptr != 0)
    { }
  if (0 != ptr)
    { }

请注意，因为它ptr有一个explicit operator bool() const noexcept;，所以operator overload resolution在这里可以正常工作，例如，ptr == 0选择

 template <class T, class D>
 bool operator==(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t) noexcept;`.

如果这里没有explicit关键字，ptrinptr == 0将被转换为bool， thenbool将被转换为int，因为bool operator==(int, int)is 内置并且0is int。等待我们的是模棱两可的重载解析错误。

这是一个最小、完整和可验证的示例：

#include <cstddef>
struct A
{
    constexpr A(std::nullptr_t) {}
    operator bool() 
    {
        return true;
    }
};

constexpr bool operator ==(A, A) noexcept
{
    return true;
}

constexpr bool operator ==(A, std::nullptr_t) noexcept
{
    return true;
}

constexpr bool operator ==(std::nullptr_t, A) noexcept
{
    return true;
}

int main()
{
    A a1(nullptr);
    A a2(0);
    a1 == 0;
}

另一个常见用途是标准容器对自定义对象内的键值进行相等比较

class Foo
{
    public: int val;
};

class Comparer { public:
bool operator () (Foo& a, Foo&b) const {
return a.val == b.val; 
};

class Blah
{
std::set< Foo, Comparer > _mySet;
};
