Historically, I've been using trait classes to hold information and apply that into a "generic" function that runs the same "algorithm." Only differed by the trait class. For example: https://onlinegdb.com/ryUo7WRmN
enum selector { SELECTOR1, SELECTOR2, SELECTOR3, };
// declaration
template < selector T> struct example_trait;
template<> struct example_trait<SELECTOR1> {
static constexpr size_t member_var = 3;
static size_t do_something() { return 0; }
};
template<> struct example_trait<SELECTOR2> {
static constexpr size_t member_var = 5;
static size_t do_something() { return 0; }
};
// pretend this is doing something useful but common
template < selector T, typename TT = example_trait<T> >
void function() {
std::cout << TT::member_var << std::endl;
std::cout << TT::do_something() << std::endl;
}
int main()
{
function<SELECTOR1>();
function<SELECTOR2>();
return 0;
}
I'm not sure how to create "generic" algorithms this when dealing with polymorphic classes.
For example: https://onlinegdb.com/S1hFLGC7V
Below I have created an inherited class hierarchy. In this example I have a base catch-all example that defaults all the parameters to something (0 in this case). And then each derived class sets overrides specific methods.
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <type_traits>
#include <assert.h>
using namespace std;
struct Base {
virtual int get_thing_one() {
return 0;
}
virtual int get_thing_two() {
return 0;
}
virtual int get_thing_three() {
return 0;
}
virtual int get_thing_four() {
return 0;
}
};
struct A : public Base {
virtual int get_thing_one() override {
return 1;
}
virtual int get_thing_three() override {
return 3;
}
};
struct B : public Base {
virtual int get_thing_one() override {
return 2;
}
virtual int get_thing_four() override{
return 4;
}
};
Here I created a simple factory, not elegant but for illustrative purposes
// example simple factory
std::shared_ptr<Base> get_class(const int input) {
switch(input)
{
case 0:
return std::shared_ptr<Base>(std::make_shared<A>());
break;
case 1:
return std::shared_ptr<Base>(std::make_shared<B>());
break;
default:
assert(false);
break;
}
}
So this is the class of interest. It is a class does "something" with the data from the classes above. The methods below are a simple addition example but imagine a more complicated algorithm that is very similar for every method.
// class that uses the shared_ptr
class setter {
private:
std::shared_ptr<Base> l_ptr;
public:
setter(const std::shared_ptr<Base>& input):l_ptr(input)
{}
int get_thing_a()
{
return l_ptr->get_thing_one() + l_ptr->get_thing_two();
}
int get_thing_b()
{
return l_ptr->get_thing_three() + l_ptr->get_thing_four();
}
};
int main()
{
constexpr int select = 0;
std::shared_ptr<Base> example = get_class(select);
setter l_setter(example);
std::cout << l_setter.get_thing_a() << std::endl;
std::cout << l_setter.get_thing_b() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
How can I make the "boilerplate" inside the setter class more generic? I can't use traits as I did in the example above because I can't tie static functions with an object. So is there a way to make the boilerplate example more common?
