I have used SFINAE expressions to test for if a type supports operator<<
namespace details
{
template<typename T>
struct sfinae_true : std::true_type
{
};
template<typename T>
sfinae_true<decltype (std::declval<std::ostream &> () << std::declval<T const &> ())> test_for_ostream (int);
template<typename T>
std::false_type test_for_ostream (long);
}
template<typename T>
struct supports_ostream : decltype (details::test_for_ostream<T> (0))
{
};
What I would like to test is if this a type T
can be iterated over like this
for (auto && v : vs) {} // vs is T const &
The dilemma is that this is a statement and not an expression which makes it incompatible to use with decltype
I was thinking to use lambdas to convert a statement to an expression like this
auto x = [] () { for (auto && v : vs) {}; return 0; } (); // vs is T const &
However decltype of expressions containing lambdas seems to be explicitly forbidden:
// Won't compile in clang, gcc nor VC++
using x_t = decltype ([] () { for (auto && v : vs) {}; return 0; } ()); // vs is T const &
So that disqualifies it for use in a test function like this:
namespace details
{
template<typename T>
sfinae_true<decltype (
[] () { for (auto && v : std::declval<T const &> ()) ; } ()
)> test_for_container (int);
// Won't work because lambdas aren't allowed in unevaluated contexts
template<typename T>
std::false_type test_for_container (long);
}
template<typename T>
struct is_container : decltype (details::test_for_container<T> (0))
{
};
So I have run out of ideas, so I thought perhaps someone @Stackoverflow can come up with something interesting.
PS.
I can somewhat understand why decltype ([] () {})
isn't allowed but decltype ([] () {} ())
should always be well-defined ie void
.
