Ý nghĩa của “operator bool () const” là gì

Ví dụ:

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

collà một int. Làm thế nào để operator bool() consthoạt động?

Các hàm thành viên của biểu mẫu

operator TypeName()

là các toán tử chuyển đổi. Chúng cho phép các đối tượng của kiểu lớp được sử dụng như thể chúng thuộc kiểu TypeNamevà khi có, chúng được chuyển đổi sang TypeNamesử dụng hàm chuyển đổi.

Trong trường hợp cụ thể này, operator bool()cho phép một đối tượng của loại lớp được sử dụng như thể nó là một bool. Ví dụ: nếu bạn có một đối tượng thuộc loại lớp được đặt tên obj, bạn có thể sử dụng nó làm

if (obj)

Điều này sẽ gọi operator bool(), trả về kết quả và sử dụng kết quả làm điều kiện của if.

Cần lưu ý rằng đó operator bool()là một Ý tưởng Rất Xấu và bạn thực sự không nên sử dụng nó. Để được giải thích chi tiết về lý do tại sao nó có hại và giải pháp cho vấn đề, hãy xem "The Safe Bool Idiom."

(C ++ 0x, bản sửa đổi sắp tới của Tiêu chuẩn C ++, bổ sung hỗ trợ cho các toán tử chuyển đổi rõ ràng. Các toán tử này sẽ cho phép bạn viết một két explicit operator bool()hoạt động chính xác mà không phải thực hiện các bước triển khai Safe Bool Idiom.)

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

Xác định cách lớp có thể chuyển đổi thành giá trị boolean, constsau giá trị ()được sử dụng để chỉ ra phương thức này không thay đổi (thay đổi các thành viên của lớp này).

Bạn thường sử dụng các toán tử như sau:

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

Tôi muốn cung cấp thêm mã để làm rõ ràng hơn.

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
}

Đó là implicitchức năng chuyển đổi do người dùng xác định để chuyển đổi lớp của bạn thành truehoặc false.

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

Đó là một chuyển đổi ngầm thành bool. Tức là bất cứ nơi nào cho phép chuyển đổi ngầm định, lớp của bạn có thể được chuyển đổi thành boolbằng cách gọi phương thức đó.

Như những người khác đã nói, đó là chuyển đổi kiểu, trong trường hợp này là a bool. Ví dụ:

class A {
    bool isItSafe;

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

    ...
};

Bây giờ tôi có thể sử dụng một đối tượng của lớp này như thể nó là một boolean:

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

Khi viết unique_ptr của riêng tôi, tôi đã tìm thấy trường hợp này. Do std::unique_ptrlàoperator== :

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;

Và trường hợp thử nghiệm này từ libstdcxx :

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

Lưu ý vì điều đó ptrcó một explicit operator bool() const noexcept;, vì vậy operator overload resolutionhoạt động tốt ở đây, ví dụ: các ptr == 0lựa chọn

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

Nếu nó không có explicittừ khóa ở đây, ptrin ptr == 0sẽ được chuyển thành bool, sau đó boolsẽ được chuyển thành int, bởi vì bool operator==(int, int)được tích hợp sẵn và 0là int. Những gì đang chờ đợi chúng tôi là lỗi giải quyết quá tải không rõ ràng.

Dưới đây là một ví dụ Tối thiểu, Hoàn chỉnh và Có thể xác minh :

#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;
}
