The following Java code calls the static method printText(text)
on the generics parameter T
which represents a derived class of Printer
. Is it possible to achieve exactly the same behaviour in C++? If yes, how?
public class Printer {
public static void printText(String text) {
System.out.println(text);
}
public static <T extends Printer>void print(String text) {
T.printText(text);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Printer.print("Hello World!");
}
}
Yes, it is possible:
template <typename T>
void print(const std::string& text)
{
T::printText(text);
}
To make sure that Printer
is a base of T
, you can add this compile-time check to the function:
static_assert(std::is_base_of<Printer, T>::value, "T must inherit from Printer");
You can do this
struct A
{
static void printMe()
{
std::cout << "A print \n";
}
};
struct B
{
static void printMe()
{
std::cout << "B print \n";
}
};
template<typename T> void printer()
{
T::printMe();
}
int main() {
printer<A>();
printer<B>();
return 0;
}
