“Manual” signature overload resolution

2019-01-22 23:38发布

问题:

I want to make a std::function like object that can handle storing more than one overload.

Syntax sort of like this: my_function< int(double, int), double(double, double), char(int, int) >.

Or, more explicitly:

template<typename... Ts>
struct type_list {};

template<typename... Signatures >
struct my_function {
  std::tuple< std::function<Signatures>... > m_functions;
  typedef type_list< Signatures... > sig_list;
  template<typename... Args>
  typename pick_overload_signature< sig_list, type_list<Args...> >::return_value
    operator()( Args&&... args )
  {
    return get<pick_overload_signature< sig_list, type_list<Args...> >::index>(m_functions)(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
};

My question: how should I write pick_overload_signatures?

Here is the work I've done on it:

My inclination would be to write a partial order on function signatures with respect to a given set of arguments, then sort the type list of function signatures, then grab the best (with possibly a compile-time assert that the best one is unique). To pull that off, I'd have to have a solid partial order (with respect to a set of arguments passed in) on function signatures...

13.3.3.1 tells me how to determine if there is a valid conversion. I can cheat for this by using the compiler to do a conversion for me, and use SFINAE to detect if it occurred for a given argument passed in and the signature of one of the "overloads".

13.3.3.2 tells me how to order these conversions. Here I have to detect if a conversion sequence is user defined or a standard sequence. I am not sure how to distinguish between the two.

Maybe I can use traits class to detect the existence of user-defined conversions sequences. Check for the existence of &S::operator D() and &D::D(S const&) and &D::D(S) and &D::D(S&&) or something like that.

has_user_defined_conversion<S,D>::value, has_standard_conversion<S,D>::value, etc?

Will this approach work, has someone already done it, or has someone already done parts of this?

Isn't done, but is usable.

Thanks all!

i'm sure it is doable your way, but may be you will be satisfied with this one https://gist.github.com/dabrahams/3779345

template<class...Fs> struct overloaded;

template<class F1, class...Fs>
struct overloaded<F1, Fs...> : F1, overloaded<Fs...>::type
{
typedef overloaded type;

overloaded(F1 head, Fs...tail)
: F1(head),
overloaded<Fs...>::type(tail...)
{}
using F1::operator();
using overloaded<Fs...>::type::operator();
};

template<class F>
struct overloaded<F> : F
{
typedef F type;
using F::operator();
};

template<class...Fs>
typename overloaded<Fs...>::type overload(Fs...x)
{ return overloaded<Fs...>(x...); }

auto f = overload(
[](int x) { return x+1; },
[](char const* y) { return y + 1; },
[](int* y) { return y; });

I think you can use something like these traits... But if you want make overloading resolution fully as in standard - you need more code http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/implicit_cast

#include <type_traits>

template<typename T, typename D>
struct is_constructible
{
   template<typename C, typename F>
   static auto test(C*) -> decltype(C(std::declval<F>()), std::true_type());
   template<typename, typename>
   static std::false_type test(...);
   static const bool value = std::is_class<T>::value && 
      std::is_same<std::true_type, decltype(test<T, D>(0))>::value;
};

template<typename T, typename D>
struct has_conversion_operator
{
   static std::true_type test(D d);
   template<typename C, typename F>
   static auto test(C* c) -> decltype(test(*c));
   template<typename, typename>
   static std::false_type test(...);

   static const bool value = std::is_class<T>::value && 
      !is_constructible<T, D>::value && 
      std::is_same<std::true_type, decltype(test<T, D>(0))>::value;
};

template<typename T, typename D>
struct is_standard_convertible : 
   std::integral_constant<bool, !has_conversion_operator<T, D>::value && 
   !is_constructible<T, D>::value &&
   std::is_convertible<T, D>::value>
{
};

template<typename T, typename D>
struct is_user_convertible :
   std::integral_constant<bool, has_conversion_operator<T, D>::value || 
   is_constructible<T, D>::value>
{
};

and implement what you want like: first check, that signatures are standard_convertible if not check that signature are user_convertible.
