constexpr,用于连接两个或多个字符字符串

constexpr to concatenate two or more char strings

本文关键字:两个 字符 字符串 constexpr 用于 连接      更新时间:2023-10-16

我正试图制作一个constexpr函数,通过Xeo的以下答案来连接任意数量的char数组,Xeo连接了两个char数组。

https://stackoverflow.com/a/13294458/1128289

#include <array>
template<unsigned... Is> struct seq{};
template<unsigned N, unsigned... Is>
struct gen_seq : gen_seq<N-1, N-1, Is...>{};
template<unsigned... Is>
struct gen_seq<0, Is...> : seq<Is...>{};
template<unsigned N1, unsigned... I1, unsigned N2, unsigned... I2>
constexpr std::array<char const, N1+N2-1> concat(char const (&a1)[N1], char const (&a2)[N2], seq<I1...>, seq<I2...>){
  return {{ a1[I1]..., a2[I2]... }};
}
template<unsigned N1, unsigned N2>
constexpr std::array<char const, N1+N2-1> concat(char const (&a1)[N1], char const (&a2)[N2]){
  return concat(a1, a2, gen_seq<N1-1>{}, gen_seq<N2>{});
}

到目前为止我的尝试:

#include <iostream>
#include <array>
template<unsigned... Is> struct seq{};
template<unsigned N, unsigned... Is>
struct gen_seq : gen_seq<N-1, N-1, Is...>{};
template<unsigned... Is>
struct gen_seq<0, Is...> : seq<Is...>{};
template<unsigned N1, unsigned... I1, unsigned N2, unsigned... I2>
constexpr const std::array<char, N1+N2-1>
concat_impl(
    const char (&a1)[N1], const char (&a2)[N2], seq<I1...>, seq<I2...>)
{
    return {{ a1[I1]..., a2[I2]... }};
}
template<unsigned N1, unsigned N2>
constexpr const std::array<char, N1+N2-1>
concat(const char (&a1)[N1], const char (&a2)[N2])
{
    return concat_impl(a1, a2, gen_seq<N1-1>{}, gen_seq<N2>{});
}
template<unsigned N1, unsigned N2, class... Us>
constexpr auto
concat(const char(&a1)[N1], const char(&a2)[N2], const Us&... xs)
-> std::array<char, N1 + decltype(concat(a2, xs...))::size() - 1>
{
    return concat(a1, concat(a2, xs...));
}
int main()
{
    auto const s = concat("hi ", "there!");
    std::cout << s.data() << std::endl;
    // compile error:
    auto const t = concat("hi ", "there ", "how ", "are ", "you?");
    std::cout << t.data() << std::endl;
}

gcc 4.9和clang 3.5都给出了错误,表明在decltype表达式中找不到与concat匹配的函数。

叮当声:

error: no matching function for call to 'concat'
    auto const t = concat("hi ", "there ", "how ", "are ", "you?");
                   ^~~~~~

                                          ^
1 error generated.

gcc和clang的错误都表明第二个concat函数模板不是decltype表达式中concat的候选者。只考虑第一个模板。为什么会这样?我该如何解决?

编辑:decltype不能递归使用的相关问题

使用decltype和可变模板函数的尾随返回类型

template<size_t S>
using size=std::integral_constant<size_t, S>;
template<class T, size_t N>
constexpr size<N> length( T const(&)[N] ) { return {}; }
template<class T, size_t N>
constexpr size<N> length( std::array<T, N> const& ) { return {}; }
template<class T>
using length_t = decltype(length(std::declval<T>()));
constexpr size_t sum_string_sizes() { return 0; }
template<class...Ts>
constexpr size_t sum_string_sizes( size_t i, Ts... ts ) {
  return (i?i-1:0) + sum_sizes(ts...);
}

然后

template
template<unsigned N1, unsigned N2, class... Us>
constexpr auto
concat(const char(&a1)[N1], const char(&a2)[N2], const Us&... xs)
-> std::array<char, sum_string_sizes( N1, N2, length_t<Us>::value... )+1 >
{
  return concat(a1, concat(a2, xs...));
}

消除了-CCD_ 7中的递归。


以下是使用上述方法的完整示例:

template<size_t S>
using size=std::integral_constant<size_t, S>;
template<class T, size_t N>
constexpr size<N> length( T const(&)[N] ) { return {}; }
template<class T, size_t N>
constexpr size<N> length( std::array<T, N> const& ) { return {}; }
template<class T>
using length_t = decltype(length(std::declval<T>()));
constexpr size_t string_size() { return 0; }
template<class...Ts>
constexpr size_t string_size( size_t i, Ts... ts ) {
  return (i?i-1:0) + string_size(ts...);
}
template<class...Ts>
using string_length=size< string_size( length_t<Ts>{}... )>;
template<class...Ts>
using combined_string = std::array<char, string_length<Ts...>{}+1>;
template<class Lhs, class Rhs, unsigned...I1, unsigned...I2>
constexpr const combined_string<Lhs,Rhs>
concat_impl( Lhs const& lhs, Rhs const& rhs, seq<I1...>, seq<I2...>)
{
  // the '' adds to symmetry:
  return {{ lhs[I1]..., rhs[I2]..., '' }};
}
template<class Lhs, class Rhs>
constexpr const combined_string<Lhs,Rhs>
concat(Lhs const& lhs, Rhs const& rhs)
{
  return concat_impl(
    lhs, rhs,
    gen_seq<string_length<Lhs>{}>{},
    gen_seq<string_length<Rhs>{}>{}
 );
}
template<class T0, class T1, class... Ts>
constexpr const combined_string<T0, T1, Ts...>
concat(T0 const&t0, T1 const&t1, Ts const&...ts)
{
  return concat(t0, concat(t1, ts...));
}
template<class T>
constexpr const combined_string<T>
concat(T const&t) {
  return concat(t, "");
}
constexpr const combined_string<>
concat() {
  return concat("");
}

使用C++17,解决方案变得非常简单(这是实时版本):

#include <initializer_list>
// we cannot return a char array from a function, therefore we need a wrapper
template <unsigned N>
struct String {
  char c[N];
};
template<unsigned ...Len>
constexpr auto cat(const char (&...strings)[Len]) {
  constexpr unsigned N = (... + Len) - sizeof...(Len);
  String<N + 1> result = {};
  result.c[N] = '';
  char* dst = result.c;
  for (const char* src : {strings...}) {
    for (; *src != ''; src++, dst++) {
      *dst = *src;
    }
  }
  return result;
}
// can be used to build other constexpr functions
template<unsigned L>
constexpr auto makeCopyright(const char (&author)[L]) {
  return cat("xC2xA9 ", author);
}
constexpr char one[] = "The desert was the apotheosis of all deserts";
constexpr char two[] = "huge, standing to the sky";
constexpr auto three = cat(
  cat(one, ", ", two).c, // can concatenate recursively
  " ",
  "for what looked like eternity in all directions."); // can use in-place literals
constexpr auto phrase = cat(
  three.c, // can reuse existing cats
  "n",
  makeCopyright("Stephen King").c);
#include <cstdio>
int main() {
  puts(phrase.c);
  return 0;
}

由于C++20 std::copy函数族是constexpr,因此您可以进一步简化@spiderface answer:

template<unsigned ...Len>
constexpr auto cat(const char (&...strings)[Len]) {
  constexpr unsigned N = (... + Len) - sizeof...(Len);
  std::array<char, N + 1> result = {};
  result[N] = '';
  auto it = result.begin();
  (void)((it = std::copy_n(strings, Len-1, it), 0), ...);
  return result;
}

解决旧的"部分"C++11编译器兼容性问题的另一种方法是完全取消使用decltype。我对此进行了实验,并找到了一种利用类型系统的方法,类似于编译时图灵机的工作方式。该方法也不使用std::array,并允许将结果分配给完全工作的constexpr const char*变量。

  1. 介绍C++11:中的一些C++14特性

     // Parameter pack helpers (similar to C++14)
     template<std::size_t ...> struct _index_sequence { using type = _index_sequence; };
     template<std::size_t N, std::size_t ... S> struct gen_pack_sequence: gen_pack_sequence<N - 1, N - 1, S...> {};
     template<std::size_t ... S> struct gen_pack_sequence<0, S...> : _index_sequence<S...> {};
     template<std::size_t N> using _make_index_sequence = typename gen_pack_sequence<N>::type;
    
  2. 图灵机的几个TypeList模板,具有两个附加功能:

     template<typename List> struct PopFront;
     template<typename OldItem, typename ... Items> struct PopFront<TypeList<OldItem, Items...>> { typedef TypeList<Items...> type; };
     template<typename ... T> struct ConcatStringList;
     template<typename S, typename ... First, typename ... Second, typename ... Tail> struct ConcatStringList<TypeList<First...>, TypeList<S, Second...>, Tail...> {
         typedef typename ReplaceItem<TypeList<First...>, GetSize<TypeList<First...>>::value - 1, S>::type first;
         typedef typename PopFront<TypeList<S, Second...>>::type second;
         typedef typename ConcatList<first, second>::type concat;
         typedef typename ConcatStringList<concat, Tail...>::type type;
     };
     template<typename T> struct ConcatStringList<T> { typedef T type; };
    
  3. 包含数据的模板化结构:

     template<char ... Chars> struct to_list { typedef typelist::TypeList<typelist::Char<Chars>...> type; };
     template<char ... Chars> struct char_sequence {
         static constexpr char value[] = { Chars... };
         typedef typename to_list<Chars...>::type list;
         template<template<char...> class Template> using param_pack = Template<Chars...>;
     };
     template<char ... Chars> constexpr char char_sequence<Chars...>::value[];
     template<char ... Chars> struct char_string: char_sequence<Chars..., ''> {};
    
  4. 从TypeList转换:

     template<typename CharList, typename = _make_index_sequence<typelist::GetSize<CharList>::value>> struct list_to_string;
     template<typename CharList, std::size_t ... Indices> struct list_to_string<CharList, _index_sequence<Indices...>> {
         static_assert(sizeof...(Indices) > 0 && typelist::GetItem<CharList, sizeof...(Indices) - 1>::type::value == 0, "missing null-termination");
         typedef char_sequence<typelist::GetItem<CharList, Indices>::type::value...> type;
     };
    
  5. 定义constexpr文字的帮助程序:

     constexpr std::size_t _strlen(char const* s, std::size_t count = 0) {
         return (*s == '') ? count : _strlen(s + 1, count + 1);
     }
     template<typename S, typename T> struct _struct_to_string;
     template<typename S, std::size_t ... Indices> struct _struct_to_string<S, _index_sequence<Indices...>> { typedef char_string<S::get()[Indices] ...> type; };
     template<typename S> struct struct_to_string { typedef _make_index_sequence<_strlen(S::get())> indices; typedef typename _struct_to_string<S, indices>::type type; };
     #define CONSTEXPR_STRING(name, s) 
         struct name ## __struct { constexpr static const char* get() { return s; } }; 
         typedef struct_to_string<name ## __struct>::type name
    
  6. 最后,字符串连接的结构:

     template<typename ... Strings> struct concatenate {
         template<typename String> using list = typename String::list;
         typedef typename list_to_string<typename typelist::ConcatStringList<list<Strings>...>::type>::type type;
     };
    

可用性:

// ['year', 'month' and 'day' are not literals but somehow obtained earlier]
CONSTEXPR_STRING(dot, ".");
typedef concatenate<year, dot, month, dot, day>::type date;
constexpr const char* c_date = date::value;

它按照GCC 4.9.4进行编译。(我也可以确认它适用于GCC 4.8.5。)
