“operator bool() const”是什么意思

Question

例如：

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

col 是一个整数。如何 operator bool() const 工作？

Answer 1

形式的成员函数

operator TypeName()

是转换算子。它们允许就好像它们是类型TypeName的要使用的类的对象，并且当它们是，它们被转换使用所述转换函数，以TypeName。

在该特定情况下，允许operator bool()就好像它是一个bool要使用的类类型的对象。例如，如果你有类类型命名obj的目的，可以使用它作为

if (obj)

这将调用operator bool()，返回结果，并且使用其结果作为if的状况。

应该指出的是，operator bool()是一个好主意，你真的应该永远使用它。有关详细说明，为什么它是坏的，为解决问题的方法，请参见“安全布尔成语。”

（C ++ 0x中，C ++标准的即将修订，增加了显式转换运营商的支持。这将使你写一个安全explicit operator bool()能够正确工作，而无需通过实施安全布尔成语的跳火圈。 ）

Answer 2

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

类定义了如何是可转化为布尔值，则const后()用于指示该方法不发生变异（改变这个类的成员）。

您通常会使用这样的运算符如下所示：

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

Answer 3

我想给多个代码，以清楚。

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
}

Answer 4

它的用户定义implicit转换函数到类转换成任一true或false。

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

Answer 5

这是一个隐式转换到bool。即无论隐式转换是允许的，你的类可以调用该方法转化成bool。

Answer 6

作为其他人说，它是类型转换，在这种情况下，以一个bool。例如：

class A {
    bool isItSafe;

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

    ...
};

现在我可以使用这个类的对象，就好像它是一个布尔值：

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

Answer 7

当我自己编写unique_ptr时，我发现了这种情况。给定 std::unique_ptr的 operator==:

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;

这个测试用例来自 库stdcxx:

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

请注意，因为 ptr 有一个 explicit operator bool() const noexcept;, ， 所以 operator overload resolution 在这里工作得很好，例如 ptr == 0 选择

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

如果没有 explicit 这里的关键字， ptr 在 ptr == 0 将被转换成 bool, ， 然后 bool 将被转换成 int, ， 因为 bool operator==(int, int) 是内置的并且 0 是 int. 。等待我们的是模棱两可的重载解析错误。

这里有一个 最小、完整且可验证的示例:

#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;
}

的另一个常见用途是用于STD的容器上做键值相等比较里面的自定义对象

class Foo
{
    public: int val;
};

class Comparer { public:
bool operator () (Foo& a, Foo&b) const {
return a.val == b.val; 
};

class Blah
{
std::set< Foo, Comparer > _mySet;
};
