C++ 模板参数更改对指针的引用

Question

也许我不知道如何搜索，但我找不到任何人谈论这个是事实。

我的结构有一个非类型参数，它依赖于一个类型参数。

template<
    typename SpecType,
    SpecType NonType >
struct Struct
//...

当 SpecType 是对指针的引用时(例如 const char *&)，NonType 的行为就好像它是实际的专门论点，而不是引用。更令人惊讶的是，如果我将 NonType 显式转换为 SpecType，一切都会按预期进行!

IBM说了一些关于转换为数组和函数指针的内容，但我不理解它与我的疑问有关。

当我创建没有嵌入模板类型(S1 和 S2)的结构时，不会发生同样的事情。

当然我可以改成:

template<
    typename SpecType,
    SpecType &NonType >

但它无法解释我所看到的。任何人都可以给出一个深刻的(或愚蠢的，如果是我的愚蠢)解释吗？

下面的例子有点冗长，但看​​看它的输出我想我的问题会更清楚:

#include    <iostream>
#include    <typeinfo>

using namespace std;


void    f1( const char **p )
{
    cout << "---------------------------------------------" << endl;
    cout << "f1( const char **p ): p = \"" << p << "\"" << endl;
}

void    f1( const char *p )
{
    cout << "---------------------------------------------" << endl;
    cout << "f1( const char *p ): p = \"" << p << "\"" << endl;
}

void    f1( const int **p )
{
    cout << "---------------------------------------------" << endl;
    cout << "f1( const int **p ): p = \"" << p << "\"" << endl;
}

void    f1( const int *p )
{
    cout << "---------------------------------------------" << endl;
    cout << "f1( const int *p ): p = \"" << p << "\"" << endl;
}

template<
    typename SpecType,
    SpecType NonType >
struct Struct
{
    void    f( )
    {
        cout << "---------------------------------------------" << endl;
        cout << "SpecType is " << typeid( SpecType ).name( ) << endl;
        cout << "NonType is " << typeid( NonType ).name( ) << endl;
        cout << "NonType = \"" << NonType << "\"" << endl;
        cout << "( SpecType )NonType = \"" << ( SpecType )NonType << "\"" << endl;
        cout << "*NonType = \"" << *NonType << "\"" << endl;
        cout << "*NonType[ 0 ] = \"" << **NonType << "\"" << endl;

        f1( NonType );
    }
};

template< const char *&P >
struct  S1
{
    void    f( )
    {
        cout << "---------------------------------------------" << endl;
        cout << "&P = \"" << &P << "\"" << endl;
        cout << "P = \"" << P << "\"" << endl;
        cout << "*P = \"" << *P << "\"" << endl;

        f1( P );
    }
};

template< const char **P >
struct  S2
{
    void    f( )
    {
        cout << "---------------------------------------------" << endl;
        cout << "P = \"" << P << "\"" << endl;
        cout << "*P = \"" << *P << "\"" << endl;
        cout << "*P[ 0 ] = \"" << **P << "\"" << endl;

        f1( P );
    }
};

const char * const_pname    = "name";

const int   pint[]  = { 42, 51 };
const int   *const_pint = pint;

int main( )
{
    cout << "=============================================" << endl;
    cout << "const_pname = " << const_pname << endl;
    cout << "@const_pname = 0x" << hex << ( unsigned long )const_pname << dec << endl;
    cout << "&const_pname = 0x" << hex << ( unsigned long )&const_pname << dec << endl;

    cout << "=============================================" << endl;
    cout << "Struct< const char *&, const_pname >   constpTtname" << endl;
    Struct< const char *&, const_pname >    constpTtname;
    constpTtname.f( );

    cout << "=============================================" << endl;
    cout << "Struct< const int *&, const_pint > constpTtint" << endl;
    Struct< const int *&, const_pint >  constpTtint;
    constpTtint.f( );

    cout << "=============================================" << endl;
    cout << "S1< const_pname >  s1" << endl;
    S1< const_pname >   s1;
    s1.f( );

    cout << "=============================================" << endl;
    cout << "S2< &const_pname > s2" << endl;
    S2< &const_pname >  s2;
    s2.f( );

    return  0;
}

输出是:

我尝试使用三个编译器编译您的代码，其中两个具有非常相似的行为，给出以下消息(大约):

test.cpp:44:41: error: indirection requires pointer operand ('int' invalid)
        cout << "*NonType[ 0 ] = \"" << **NonType << "\"" << endl;
                                        ^~~~~~~~~
test.cpp:93:18: note: in instantiation of member function 'Struct<const char *&, const_pname>::f' requested here
    constpTtname.f( );
                 ^
test.cpp:44:41: error: indirection requires pointer operand ('int' invalid)
        cout << "*NonType[ 0 ] = \"" << **NonType << "\"" << endl;
                                        ^~~~~~~~~
test.cpp:98:17: note: in instantiation of member function 'Struct<const int *&, const_pint>::f' requested here
    constpTtint.f( );
                ^

错误消息对我来说似乎是正确且不言而喻的。这是使用 clang 的结果。 Comeau 的基于 EDG 的编译器是另一个给出与此非常相似的消息的编译器。

g++ 编译了它(我认为是错误的)并给出了类似于您报告的输出。
