模板和继承类中的ostream重载中的重新定义错误

我正在尝试重载模板和继承类中的ostream运算符,我一直在关注一些提示herehere,但是我得到了重新定义错误。这是我的代码的再现:

#include <iostream>

enum type
{
        A,
        B
};

template <type T>
class base
{
protected:
        virtual std::ostream& print(std::ostream& out) const =0;
};

template <type T>
class derived: public base<T>
{
protected:
        virtual std::ostream& print(std::ostream& out) const
        {
                out<<"Hello World.\n";
                return out;
        }
public:
        template <type S>
        friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const derived<S>& D)
        {
                return (D.print(out));
        }
};

int main ()
{
#ifdef __NOT_WORKING__
        derived<A> a;
        std::cout<<a;
        derived<B> b;
        std::cout<<b;
#else
        derived<A> a;
        std::cout<<a;
#endif
        return 0;
}

如果我只定义派生的A类,一切正常,但如果我定义派生的A和派生的B类,我会从编译器中得到这个错误:

test.cpp: In instantiation of 'class derived<(type)1u>':
test.cpp:38:20:   required from here
test.cpp:27:30: error: redefinition of 'template<type S> std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, const derived<S>&)'
         friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const derived<S>& D)
                              ^
test.cpp:27:30: note: 'template<type S> std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, const derived<S>&)' previously defined here

test.cpp:20:31: error: 'std::ostream& derived<T>::print(std::ostream&) const [with type T = (type)1u; std::ostream = std::basic_ostream<char>]' is protected

                               ^
test.cpp:29:37: error: within this context
                 return (D.print(out));
                                     ^

为什么要重新定义好友功能? 谢谢你的时间。

PS。我正在使用gcc49。

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

替换

template <type S>
friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const derived<S>& D)
{
    return (D.print(out));
}

friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const derived<T>& D)
{
    return (D.print(out));
}

错误将消失。

使用早期定义,您尝试定义具有相同签名的新模板函数。

答案 1 :(得分:0)

[temp.friend] / 4:

  

在类中的友元函数声明中定义函数时   模板,当函数使用odr时,该函数被实例化。   对多个声明和定义的相同限制   适用于非模板函数的声明和定义也适用   这些隐含的定义。

Clang汇编上述罚款 - 这可以被视为一个错误,但回想一下,违反ODR的行为是错误的,不需要诊断。


您有两种方法可以解决这个问题。提取模板的定义:

template <typename T>
class derived: public base<T>
{
//     [..]

       template <type S>
       friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const derived<S>& D);
};

template <type S>
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const derived<S>& D)
{
    return (D.print(out));
}

或者让操作员成为非模板:

template <type T>
class derived: public base<T>
{
//     [..]

       friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const derived<T>& D)
       {
               return (D.print(out));
       }
};
