无效使用不完全型 [英] invalid use of incomplete type
问题描述
我试图在我的项目中使用一个子类的typedef,我在下面的例子中已经隔离了我的问题。
I'm trying to use a typedef from a subclass in my project, I've isolated my problem in the example below.
m错误?
template<typename Subclass>
class A {
public:
//Why doesn't it like this?
void action(typename Subclass::mytype var) {
(static_cast<Subclass*>(this))->do_action(var);
}
};
class B : public A<B> {
public:
typedef int mytype;
B() {}
void do_action(mytype var) {
// Do stuff
}
};
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
B myInstance;
return 0;
}
这是我得到的输出:
sean@SEAN-PC:~/Documents/LucadeStudios/experiments$ g++ -o test test.cpp
test.cpp: In instantiation of ‘A<B>’:
test.cpp:10: instantiated from here
test.cpp:5: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘class B’
test.cpp:10: error: forward declaration of ‘class B’
推荐答案
当实例化类模板时,它的成员函数的所有声明(而不是定义)也被实例化。当需要专门化的完整定义时,类模板将精确实例化。这是例子,当它被用作基类的情况下,例如,在你的情况。
The reason is that when instantiating a class template, all its declarations (not the definitions) of its member functions are instantiated too. The class template is instantiated precisely when the full definition of a specialization is required. That is the case when it is used as a base class for example, as in your case.
那么会发生什么, A< B>
实例化在
So what happens is that A<B>
is instantiated at
class B : public A<B>
此时 B
类型(它是类定义的结束大括号之后)。但是, A< B> :: action
的声明要求 B
完成,因为它正在抓取范围:
at which point B
is not a complete type yet (it is after the closing brace of the class definition). However, A<B>::action
's declaration requires B
to be complete, because it is crawling in the scope of it:
Subclass::mytype
你需要做的是将实例化延迟到 B
完成的某个点。这样做的一种方法是修改 action
的声明,使其成为成员模板。
What you need to do is delaying the instantiation to some point at which B
is complete. One way of doing this is to modify the declaration of action
to make it a member template.
template<typename T>
void action(T var) {
(static_cast<Subclass*>(this))->do_action(var);
}
它仍然是类型安全的,因为如果 var
不是正确的类型,将 var
传递给 do_action
将失败。
It is still type-safe because if var
is not of the right type, passing var
to do_action
will fail.
