Is there a way to tell whether a function returns a const or a non-const value? decltype
works for references, but it won't work for non-reference types.
#include <type_traits>
template< typename >
struct print_type; //undefined
int main(){
auto lambda = []()->const int{ return 0; };
print_type< decltype(lambda()) > dt; //print_type< int >
print_type< typename std::result_of<decltype(lambda)()>::type > ro;
//print_type< int >
return 0;
}
I implemented a std::tuple
transform function, that will call a function object on each tuple element and store the result in a new tuple
composed of return types. This doesn't work for const return types, which is pretty surprising (but needed).
For non built-in types, you can use std::is_const
and decltype
to get what you want.
Example:
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
struct A {};
int main()
{
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
{
auto lambda = []()->A{ return A(); };
std::cout << std::is_const<decltype(lambda())>::value << std::endl;
}
{
auto lambda = []()->const A{ return A(); };
std::cout << std::is_const<decltype(lambda())>::value << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
Output:
false true
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
#include <utility>
template <typename T>
struct has_operator
{
template <typename U>
struct SFINAE {};
template <typename U>
static std::true_type test(SFINAE<decltype(&U::operator())>*);
template <typename U>
static std::false_type test(...);
static constexpr bool value = std::is_same<decltype(test<T>(nullptr)), std::true_type>::value;
};
template <bool value, typename T>
struct check_constness;
template <typename T>
struct check_constness<false, T>
{
template <typename R, typename... Args>
static std::true_type const_or_not(const R(*)(Args...));
static std::false_type const_or_not(...);
using type = decltype(const_or_not(std::declval<T*>()));
};
template <typename T>
struct check_constness<true, T>
{
template <typename R, typename C, typename... Args>
static std::true_type const_or_not(const R(C::*)(Args...));
template <typename R, typename C, typename... Args>
static std::true_type const_or_not(const R(C::*)(Args...) const);
template <typename R, typename C, typename... Args>
static std::true_type const_or_not(const R(C::*)(Args...) const volatile);
template <typename R, typename C, typename... Args>
static std::true_type const_or_not(const R(C::*)(Args...) volatile);
static std::false_type const_or_not(...);
using type = decltype(const_or_not(&T::operator()));
};
template <typename T>
using is_const_ret_type = typename check_constness<has_operator<T>::value, T>::type;
int glob() { return 0; }
const int cglob() { return 0; }
int main()
{
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
int x = 123;
auto lambda = []() -> int { return 0; };
auto clambda = []() -> const int { return 0; };
auto closure = [x]() -> int { return x; };
auto cclosure = [x]() -> const int { return x; };
std::cout << is_const_ret_type<decltype(lambda)>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << is_const_ret_type<decltype(clambda)>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << is_const_ret_type<decltype(glob)>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << is_const_ret_type<decltype(cglob)>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << is_const_ret_type<decltype(closure)>::value << std::endl;
std::cout << is_const_ret_type<decltype(cclosure)>::value << std::endl;
}
Output:
false
true
false
true
false
true
You can use std::result_of to get the return type of a callable object.
Remember that returning a const int is impossible, the compiler will ignore the qualification. GCC has a warning for this. Something in -Wall -Wextra -pedantic turns that on.
