我通过实现一个八叉树类来学习一些 C++ 特性。我希望此类上的下标运算符返回与index 对应的八分圆。我应该如何在类上定义下标运算符，以便我可以（i）分配给结果和（ii）检查结果是否为空？

目标 (i) 习惯上通过使下标运算符返回一个引用来实现。但是引用不能引用任何内容，如果八分圆为空，这是一个合法的返回值。

目标 (ii) 可以通过使下标运算符返回一个可选项来实现。但是，修改指向八分圆的指针变得不简单——用std::optional<T>,T不能是引用。

这是损坏的示例（除了在实际代码中的所有实例optional都带有前缀，experimental因为我的 GCC 仅对 C++17 具有实验性支持）。

#include <optional>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Octree {
    Octree* branch[8];
public:
    Octree();
    ~Octree();
    optional<Octree&> operator[](int index);
};

Octree::Octree() : branch{}
{
}

Octree::~Octree()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
        if (branch[i])
            delete branch[i];
    }
}

optional<Octree&> Octree::operator[](int index)
{
    if (branch[index] == NULL)
        return nullopt;
    else
        return &branch[index];
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    Octree o;
    if (o[0])
        cout << "Octant o[0] is not empty.\n";
    else
        cout << "Octant o[0] is empty.\n";
    o[0] = new Octree(); // The intent is to modify o
    return 0;
}

正如预期的那样，编译器以丰富多彩的方式拒绝可选引用。

我确信有一种方法可以重载赋值，这样我就可以返回一个可选的，然后像main上面那样分配给它。感谢您的任何指点！;-)

可以通过返回一个重载=运算符的辅助类来实现目标（i）。目标（ii）可以通过返回一个重载bool操作符的辅助类来实现。

考虑当您operator[]返回一个如下所示的类时会发生什么：

class Octree {

    // Other declarations...

public:

    // Other declarations...

    struct value_at {

        Octree *ptr;

        operator bool() const { return ptr != nullptr; }

        Octree &operator=(const Octree &v)
        {
            return *ptr=v;
        }
    };

    value_at operator[](int index);
};

构建value_at将是您的家庭作业；但是很明显，返回的对象为nullptr表示不存在的值，否则它指向正在返回的值。

现在，您的[]运算符返回可以在布尔上下文中使用，它评估是否返回值的指示，并且将某些内容分配给返回的值最终分配给[]应该返回的值。

=运算符重载还可以检查是否为空ptr，并抛出异常，作为调试辅助。

辅助类也可以声明一个operator Octree() const重载，这样返回的对象就显得更加透明了。

说了以上所有内容：您还可以返回std::optional<std::reference_wrapper<Octree>>实际上与您的问题中描述的对象更接近的 a 。然而，在实践中使用它可能需要一些繁琐的语法（分配给这样std::optional的可能不一定有你正在寻找的效果）。像这样的简单助手类通常会导致更自然、更透明的用法。
