需要帮助破译模板元编程宏

In need of assistance deciphering template-metaprogramming macro

本文关键字:编程 帮助      更新时间:2023-10-16

我非常想自己尝试这种技术,但是我在GCC和Clang上遇到了编译错误:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "foo::_theInfo", referenced from:
      foo::info() in reflect-eLsDqz.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

这是代码(直接来自博客上托管的zip),我希望Watte先生不介意。

/* A simple C++ reflection mark-up library. The strength 
   of this library is that it is entirely static (all the 
   reflection information is built without using dynamic 
   memory allocation), and it is exremely compact, allowing
   you to declare the members of a structure right where 
   that struct is declared, leading to minimal risk of 
   version mismatch.
   This code is placed in the public domain by Jon Watte.

struct TypeBase
{
  virtual void Marshal(void *, void const *) const = 0;
  virtual void Demarshal(void const *, void *) const = 0;
  virtual char const *name() const = 0;
  virtual size_t size() const = 0;
};
template<typename T> struct Type : TypeBase
{
  static Type<T> instance;
  // custom marshaling is handled by template specialization
  void Marshal(void *dst, void const *src) const { memcpy(dst, src, sizeof(T)); }
  void Demarshal(void const *src, void *dst) const { memcpy(dst, src, sizeof(T)); }
  char const *name() const { return typeid(T).name(); }
  size_t size() const { return sizeof(T); }
};
template <typename T> T& instance() {
  static T t;
  return t;
}
template<typename T, typename Q>
TypeBase *get_type(Q T::*mem) {
  return &instance<Type<Q> >();
}
struct member_t
{
  char const *name;

};
struct ReflectionBase
{
  void ReflectionConstruct();
  virtual size_t size() const = 0;
  virtual char const *name() const = 0;
  virtual size_t memberCount() const = 0;
  virtual member_t const *members() const = 0;
};
void ReflectionBase::ReflectionConstruct()
{
  //  todo: register myself in some table, etc
  members();
  memberCount();
  name();
  size();
}
#define MEMBER(x) 
   { #x, get_type(&T::x), (size_t)&((T*)0)->x },
#define RTTI(_type, _mems) 
  template<typename T> struct _info : ReflectionBase { 
    /* overrides used by ReflectionBase */ 
    inline size_t size() const { return sizeof(T); } 
    inline char const *name() const { return #_type; } 
    inline size_t memberCount() const { size_t cnt; get_members(cnt); return cnt; } 
    inline member_t const *members() const { size_t cnt; return get_members(cnt); } 
    _info() { ReflectionConstruct(); } 
    static inline member_t const *get_members(size_t &cnt) { 
      static member_t members[] = { _mems }; 
      cnt = sizeof(members) / sizeof(members[0]); 
      return members; 
    } 
    static inline _info<T> &info() { 
      return instance<_info<T> >(); 
    } 
  }; 
  inline static member_t const * members() { return _info<_type>::info().members(); } 
  static _info<_type> _theInfo; 
  inline static _info<_type> &info() { return _theInfo; }
struct foo {
  int x, y, z;
  RTTI(foo, MEMBER(x) MEMBER(y) MEMBER(z))
};
int main() {
  printf("type: %sn", foo::info().name());
  printf("size: %ldn", foo::info().size());
  for (size_t i = 0; i != foo::info().memberCount(); ++i) {
    printf("  %s: offset %ld  size %ld  type %sn",
      foo::info().members()[i].name, foo::info().members()[i].offset,
      foo::info().members()[i].type->size(), foo::info().members()[i].type->name());
  }
  return 0;
}

因此,static _info<_type> _theInfo在上面的行中声明,但某些内容不起作用。我想我有点接近理解这段代码是如何工作的(MEMBER是一个整洁的小宏,可以获取成员的偏移量,这很有趣),但我从来没有需要做一些像将模板化类定义放在宏中这样可怕的事情以前,所以我实际上不知道从哪里开始戳这个。

我找到了一个可以编译的不同版本。

Diffchecker是一个有用的工具。

inline static _info<_type> &info() 
{ 
    static _info<_type> _theInfo; 
    return _theInfo; 
}
