My purpose is getting any value from the data array without specifying the type every time when I'm getting the value. I created special tables that describes the field information (field name and type) and also wrote a function that helps me to interpret data properly.
The code is presented below:
#include <iostream>
#include <variant>
#include <assert.h>
#include <string_view>
#include <unordered_map>
enum class ValueType : uint8_t
{
Undefined = 0x00,
Uint32,
AsciiString,
};
typedef uint64_t FieldId;
struct FieldInfo
{
std::string _name;
ValueType _type;
};
typedef std::unordered_map<FieldId, FieldInfo> FieldContainer;
static FieldContainer requestFields =
{
{ 0, { "user-id", ValueType::Uint32, } },
{ 1, { "group-id", ValueType::Uint32, } },
};
std::variant<uint8_t, uint32_t, std::string_view> getValue(ValueType type,
const uint8_t* data,
size_t length)
{
if (type == ValueType::Uint32)
{
assert(length == sizeof(uint32_t));
return *reinterpret_cast<const uint32_t*>(data);
}
else if (type == ValueType::AsciiString)
{
return std::string_view(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(data), length);
}
return static_cast<uint8_t>(0);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
const uint8_t arr[] = {0x00, 0x11, 0x22, 0x33};
size_t length = sizeof(arr);
const auto value = getValue(ValueType::Uint32, arr, length);
std::visit([](auto&& arg)
{
if ( arg == 0x33221100 )
{
std::cout << "Value has been found" << std::endl;
}
}, value);
return 0;
}
I expect that the compiler would deduce the return value properly and let me do the numbers comparing. However, I received the following compiler messages:
error: no match for ‘operator==’ (operand types are ‘const std::basic_string_view<char>’ and ‘int’)
57 | if ( arg == 0x33221100 )
| ~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~
error: invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘const char*’ [-fpermissive]
57 | if ( arg == 0x33221100 )
| ^~~~~~~~~~
| |
| int
I know that I can get value via calling std::get
:
if ( std::get<uint32_t>(value) == 0x33221100 )
{
std::cout << "Value has been found" << std::endl;;
}
But it is not what I want to achieve.
The question is - can I use the presented approach to get a value without specifying the type in each place of code where I need that?
