问题描述
我原来的班级结构类似于:
//def.h
namespace A
{
struct X {};
}
并在需要时转发声明:
//file that needs forward declarations
namespace A { struct X; }
在进行一些重构之后,X
被移到了另一个名称空间,但是为了保持旧的代码正常工作",使用了using
指令:
//def.h
namespace B
{
struct X {};
}
namespace A
{
using ::B::X;
}
现在,我们可以访问使用旧语法A::X
的同一类,但是前向声明会导致错误.第二个问题是我收到的错误消息没有指向正向声明的位置,并且查找/替换正向声明非常耗时.
目前,我已经解决了这个问题(困难的方式).
应对这种情况的最佳方法是什么?
IMO,using
根本不应该存在,并且应该重构所有使用X
的代码以适应新的名称空间(这是一种解决方案),但是不幸的是,这不是一个选择. /p>
实际代码要复杂得多,这是一个简化的示例.
我意识到这更多的是关于新代码,而不是重构现有代码,但是我喜欢在这种情况下使用称为X_fwd.hpp
的特殊标头.
// X_def.hpp
namespace B
{
struct X {};
}
namespace A
{
// NOT: using namespace B; // does not participate in ADL!
typedef ::B::X X; // OR: using ::B::X;
}
// X_fwd.hpp
namespace A { struct X; }
// some file needing declaration of X
#include <X_fwd.hpp>
这使得查找前向声明以及在事后更改它们变得容易得多,因为更改仅被隔离在一个地方(DRY ...).
NOTE1 :AFAIK,使用Peter Wood的typedef
答案和您的using
声明之间没有技术上的区别.请注意,using
指令using namespace B;
可能会引起麻烦,因为这些指令会被 Argument-Dependent-Lookup 忽略.更糟糕的是,您的某些代码甚至可能静默地调用错误的函数重载,因为您不再使用新的命名空间B
!
注意2 :在对该问题的评论中,给出了一个 Ideone 示例.这很好地说明了有关命名空间中名称查找的微妙之处:引用标准,第 3.4.3.2节命名空间成员[namespace.qual] ,第2条
这解释了以下棘手的歧义
namespace A
{
struct X1{};
struct X2{};
}
namespace B
{
using A::X1; // OK: lookup-set is both namespace A and B, and a single unique name is found (at this point!)
struct X1; // OK: lookup-set is namespace B, and a single unique name is found
struct X2; // OK: lookup-set is namespace B, and a single unique name is found
using A::X2; // error: lookup-set is both namespace A and B, and no unique name is found (at this point!)
}
因此,在名称空间中同时具有直接声明和using-声明的有效性取决于顺序.因此,在fwd头文件中使用单个声明很方便.
My original class structure was similar to:
//def.h
namespace A
{
struct X {};
}
and forward declarations where needed:
//file that needs forward declarations
namespace A { struct X; }
After some refactoring, X
was moved to a different namespace, but to keep old code "working" using
directives were used:
//def.h
namespace B
{
struct X {};
}
namespace A
{
using ::B::X;
}
Now we can access the same class keeping the old syntax A::X
, but the forward declarations cause errors. The second problem is that the error message I'm getting doesn't point to where the forward declarations are, and finding/replacing the forward declarations is time-consuming.
For now I fixed the problem (the hard way).
What is the best approach to deal with this situation?
IMO, the using
shouldn't be there at all, and all code that uses X
should be refactored to accomodate the new namespace (this is one solution), but unfortunately this isn't an option.
The actual code is a lot more complicated, this is a simplified example.
I realize this is more about new code than about refactoring existing code, but I like using a special header called X_fwd.hpp
for such cases.
// X_def.hpp
namespace B
{
struct X {};
}
namespace A
{
// NOT: using namespace B; // does not participate in ADL!
typedef ::B::X X; // OR: using ::B::X;
}
// X_fwd.hpp
namespace A { struct X; }
// some file needing declaration of X
#include <X_fwd.hpp>
This makes it a lot easier to find forward declarations, and also to change them after the fact, because the change is isolated in one place only (DRY...).
NOTE1: AFAIK, there is no technical difference between using Peter Wood's answer of a typedef
and your using
declaration. Note that a using
directive using namespace B;
could cause trouble because these are ignored by Argument-Dependent-Lookup. Even worse, some of your code might then even silently call the wrong function overload because you are not pulling in the new namespace B
anymore!
NOTE2: In the comments to the question, an Ideone example was given. This nicely illustrates a subtlety about name lookup inside namespaces: to quote from the draft Standard, section 3.4.3.2 Namespace members [namespace.qual], clause 2
This explains the following tricky ambiguity
namespace A
{
struct X1{};
struct X2{};
}
namespace B
{
using A::X1; // OK: lookup-set is both namespace A and B, and a single unique name is found (at this point!)
struct X1; // OK: lookup-set is namespace B, and a single unique name is found
struct X2; // OK: lookup-set is namespace B, and a single unique name is found
using A::X2; // error: lookup-set is both namespace A and B, and no unique name is found (at this point!)
}
So the validity of having both a direct declaration and a using-declaration with the same name inside a namespace is order-dependent. Hence the convenience of a single declaration in a fwd header file.
