我有一些代码(我没有写,但是正在尝试编译)-iostream_combo.cc-,这样做会给我以下错误:

我正在使用Ubuntu 16.04 x64,Boost 1.68和gcc 8.2。因此,重现此问题的步骤如下:

  1. 在Ubuntu 16.04上
  2. 安装gcc-8
  3. 使用它从源代码构建升压1.68
  4. Git克隆moses repository沙子遵循那里的指示:基本上1)git clone并构建cogutil; 2)尝试使mosescd buildcmake ..make

(我认为)我对C ++足够了解,我可以看到对std::distance的调用已超载。我看不到消除歧义的方法,尽管我想它必须包括对found_it的重写或对auto的显式强制转换。

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

电话就像:

    arity_t idx = distance(labels.begin(), found_it) + 1;

这意味着distance是通过ADL找到的,因此将考虑所有关联的名称空间。如果例如这可能证明是有问题的。有两个命名空间为distance提供了同样适用的重载:

Live On Coliru

#include <iterator>
#include <vector>

namespace OyVeh {
    struct X { };

    template <typename It>
    size_t distance(It, It) { return 42; } // just to throw in a wrench
}

int main() {
    std::vector<OyVeh::X> v{3};

    auto f = v.begin();
    auto l = v.end();

    // now f and l have both `::std` and `::OyVeh` as associated namespaces. The following is ambiguous:

    return distance(f, l);
}

大约有两种解决方法:

  • 从关联的命名空间中删除模棱两可的distance声明(例如,如果竞争对象是std::distanceboost::distance,则可能无法实现)
  • 编辑呼叫以消除对ADL的依赖(例如,使它们像std::distance(...)一样,或用括号(distance)(...)括起来)

显示解决方法:

Live On Coliru

{
    using OyVeh::distance;
    return (distance)(f, l); // parentheses suppress ADL
}

return std::distance(f, l); // also works, obviously
return OyVeh::distance(f, l); // but beware the meaning might change
