“使用未定义类型”和 unique_ptr 转发声明的类和默认的移动构造函数/赋值

Question

In the following code, is the only way to avoid a compile error and to include Bh implementing the move constructor / assignment manually in A.cpp?

// A.h
#include <memory>
class B; // implementation somewhere in B.h/B.cpp
class A
{
public:
    A() = default;
    ~A() = default;
    A(const A&) = delete;
    A& operator=(const A&) = delete;
    A(A&&) = default;
    A& operator=(A&&) = default;

private:
    std::unique_ptr<B> m_b;
};

Visual Studio 2015 gives "error C2027: use of undefined type", since the move constructor/assignment operator of std::unique_ptr calls the deleter on m_b (trying to invoke B's destructor), which is obviously not known at this point.

Answer 1

Yes, you need to have access to the full definition of B from wherever you instantiate std::unique_ptr<B>::~unique_ptr , because it needs to call B 's destructor.

In your case, that means that A::~A 's definition must be moved to a separate A.cpp file, which includes Bh .
