Question

我很难理解为什么以下代码不允许进行隐式转换。

#include <string>
using namespace std;

struct HasConversionToString {
  HasConversionToString(const string& s_) : s{s_} {}
  string s;
  operator const string&() const { return s; }
};

int main() {
  string s{"a"};
  HasConversionToString obj{"b"};
  return s < obj;
}

clang和gcc都无法找到一种有效的方法来比较两个对象的错误：

clang++ -std=c++14 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic conversion.cpp -o test
conversion.cpp:13:12: error: invalid operands to binary expression ('string' (aka 'basic_string<char>') and 'HasConversionToString')
  return s < obj;

而下面的代码工作正常，当我明确地将对象强制转换为字符串时。

#include <string>
using namespace std;

struct HasConversionToString {
  HasConversionToString(const string& s_) : s{s_} {}
  string s;
  operator const string&() const { return s; }
};

int main() {
  string s{"a"};
  HasConversionToString obj{"b"};
  return s < static_cast<string>(obj);
}

基于列出on cppreference的隐式演员表的规则和示例，我认为没有理由不这样做。我认为clang和gcc都没有搞砸同样的事情，所以我想我已经有了一个概念上的误解。

Answer 1

您要调用的是功能模板：

template<class charT, class Traits, class Alloc>
bool operator<(std::basic_string<charT, Traits, Alloc> const& lhs,
               std::basic_string<charT, Traits, Alloc> const& rhs);

第二个参数的扣除失败，因为HasConversionToString不是std::basic_string - 模板参数推断不会查看隐式转换。因此，该功能模板将从重载决策中删除。

std::experimental::basic_string_view有一个类似的问题，这是通过“足够的额外重载”规则解决的（库必须添加足够的重载，以便basic_string_view和可转换为一个的东西之间的比较有效。 / p>

你真的不想为basic_string做这样的事情 - 让<可能默默地导致去堆，这不是一个好主意。

类型推导不考虑隐式转换（除了类型上面列出的调整）：这是重载解决的工作，这发生在以后。

在比较中使用具有隐式转换的用户定义转换
