使用循环值实现枚举的最佳方法是什么,以及从值转换到另一个值的适当函数是什么?
例如:
enum class Direction {
NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST
};
constexpr Direction left(Direction d) {
return (Direction)((std::underlying_type<Directions>::type(d) - 1) % 4);
}
但是,我觉得这很容易出错并且通常不可读。有没有更合适的方法来处理这种类型的枚举?
答案 0 :(得分:9)
你总是可以这样做:
enum class Direction {
NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST, NUMBER_OF_DIRECTIONS
};
constexpr Direction left(Direction d) {
using ut = std::underlying_type<Direction>::type;
return (Direction)((ut(d) + ut(Direction::NUMBER_OF_DIRECTIONS)-1)
% ut(Direction::NUMBER_OF_DIRECTIONS));
}
用法示例/小测试:
#include <iostream>
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, Direction d)
{
switch(d)
{
case Direction::NORTH: return os << "NORTH";
case Direction::EAST : return os << "EAST";
case Direction::SOUTH: return os << "SOUTH";
case Direction::WEST : return os << "WEST";
default : return os << "invalid";
}
}
int main()
{
Direction d = Direction::NORTH;
for(int i = 0; i < 2*(int)Direction::NUMBER_OF_DIRECTIONS; ++i)
{
std::cout << d << "\n";
d = left(d);
}
}
输出:
NORTH WEST SOUTH EAST NORTH WEST SOUTH EAST
