在同时处理基类的多个指针时如何处理多态?

我理解c ++类的多态性的方式,它允许以相同的方式处理类及其子类。因此,如果我有一个类及其子类的多个对象,并将它们存储在基类的(智能)指针向量中,我可以调用它们上的任何虚拟方法,它将正常工作。

class Dancer {
public:
    virtual void f() const { std::cout << "I am a basic dancer" << std::endl; }
};

class SkilledDancer : public Dancer {
public:
    void f() const { std::cout << "I am a skilled dancer" << std::endl; }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::vector< std::shared_ptr<Dancer> > dancers;
    dancers.push_back(std::make_shared<Dancer>(Dancer()));
    dancers.push_back(std::dynamic_pointer_cast<Dancer>(std::make_shared<SkilledDancer>(SkilledDancer())));

    for(auto & dancer : dancers ){
        dancer->f(); //works fine
    }
}

但是现在当我想要这种行为时,我有一个问题,当使用处理两个对象的运算符或方法时。如果函数接受基类的输入两个参数,我如何考虑它们实际上可能是派生类的对象?

class Dancer {
public:
    virtual void g( const Dancer & d ) const {  std::cout << "Let's do a basic dance" << std::endl;  }
};

class SkilledDancer : public Dancer {
public:

    //what should I do here ?

    void g( const Dancer & d ) const {  std::cout << "Let's do an advanced dance" << std::endl;  }
    //would overload Dancer::g but wrong because d is only a Dancer

    void g( const SkilledDancer & d ) {  std::cout << "Let's do an advanced dance" << std::endl;  }
    //doest not overload Dancer::g because different signature
    //so would never be called if dealing with two smart pointers of the base class
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    auto basic = std::make_shared<Dancer>(Dancer());
    auto advanced = std::dynamic_pointer_cast<Dancer>(std::make_shared<SkilledDancer>(SkilledDancer()));
    basic->g(*advanced);    //OK
    advanced->g(*advanced); //seems good ...
    advanced->g(*basic);    //... but wrong
}

我已经设法找到一个解决方法(下面的代码),但它需要一个额外的成员用于派生类,另外两个函数调用,并且该函数不再是const。所以我想知道是否有更好的方法来解决这个问题。

如果我遇到XY问题,我的实际问题是关于矩阵。我想有一个矩阵运算符乘以矩阵,但在处理两个特定的矩阵(如三角形或对称矩阵,它们是基矩阵类的子类)时,我想调用另一个运算符。请注意,所有类型的矩阵都存储为矩阵基类的指针。

class Dancer {
public:
    virtual void g( const std::shared_ptr<Dancer> & d ) {  std::cout << "Let's do a basic dance" << std::endl;  }
};

class SkilledDancer : public Dancer {
public:
    SkilledDancer() : dummy_g(false) {}
    bool dummy_g;

    void g( const std::shared_ptr<Dancer> & d) {
        if( !dummy_g ){
            dummy_g = true;
            d->g(std::dynamic_pointer_cast<Dancer>(std::make_shared<SkilledDancer>(*this)));
        } else {
            dummy_g = false;
            ((SkilledDancer*)d.get())->dummy_g = false;
            std::cout << "Let's do an advanced dance" << std::endl;
        }       
    }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    //all cases work fine
    basic->g(basic);
    advanced->g(advanced);
    basic->g(advanced); 
    advanced->g(basic);
}

这就是你刚试过的“舞者”的例子吗?

class Dancer
{
public:
    virtual void danceWith( Dancer * dancer ) {
        std::cout << "Let's do a basic dance" << std::endl;
    }
};

class SkilledDancer : public Dancer
{
public:
    void danceWith( Dancer * dancer ) override
    {
        if(auto skilledDancer = dynamic_cast< SkilledDancer*>(dancer)) {
            danceWith(skilledDancer);
        } else {
            Dancer::danceWith(dancer);
        }
    }

    void danceWith( SkilledDancer * dancer ) {
        std::cout << "Let's do an advanced dance" << std::endl;
    }
};

随后:

Dancer* basic = new Dancer;
SkilledDancer* advanced = new SkilledDancer;
Dancer* pretending = advanced;

basic   ->danceWith(basic);         // -> Let's do a basic dance
advanced->danceWith(advanced);      // -> Let's do an advanced dance
basic   ->danceWith(advanced);      // -> Let's do a basic dance
advanced->danceWith(basic);         // -> Let's do a basic dance
advanced->danceWith(pretending);    // -> Let's do an advanced dance

基本上,我们只使用编译器总是选择函数重载最符合参数的事实。在SkilledDancer类中:对于所有SkilledDancer*类型的参数,将调用danceWith()的第二个重载(并且它在编译时决定 - 没有多态转换开销)。同时,所有Dancer*类型的参数都需要运行时检查,并且会调用被覆盖的danceWith()。执行检查,然后选择要调用的danceWith()的适当版本。如果舞者是基本的 - 舞蹈基本,如果他只是假装 - 跳舞。
