I want to determine the type of this variable inside a class method.
For example, take the following example -
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <map>
class Base{
};
using getPrintString = std::map<Base, std::string>;
class A : public Base{
public:
void print(getPrintString& stringMap){
std::string toPrint = stringMap[std::remove_reference<decltype(*this)>::type];
std::cout<<toPrint<<std::endl;
}
};
class B: public Base{
public:
void print(getPrintString& stringMap){
std::string toPrint = stringMap.at(std::remove_reference<decltype(*this)>::type);
std::cout<<toPrint<<std::endl;
}
};
getPrintString stringMap{
{std::declval<A>(), "A String"},
{std::declval<B>(), "B String"}
};
int main()
{
A a;
B b;
a.print(stringMap);
b.print(stringMap);
}
In the above code, I want to decide what to print, depending on which class is calling the print method. I thought the class type of the method can be ascertained using decltype(*this). as for any Class type X, this will be a pointer of type X*, followed by std::remove_reference, as I am using decltype on a variable.
However, upon compilation, I run into the following error -
test.cpp: In member function ‘void A::print(getPrintString&)’:
test.cpp:15:85: error: expected primary-expression before ‘]’ token
15 | std::string toPrint = stringMap[std::remove_reference<decltype(*this)>::type];

23 | std::string toPrint = stringMap.at(std::remove_reference<decltype(*this)>::type);

Filtering out, there are two main error - first
test.cpp: In member function ‘void A::print(getPrintString&)’:
test.cpp:15:85: error: expected primary-expression before ‘]’ token
15 | std::string toPrint = stringMap[std::remove_reference<decltype(*this)>::type];
| ^
test.cpp: In member function ‘void B::print(getPrintString&)’:
test.cpp:23:88: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token
23 | std::string toPrint = stringMap.at(std::remove_reference<decltype(*this)>::type);
|
Which comes from the use of decltype. How to use decltype correctly in this context. Second, there is an another internal error using declval, what am I doing wrong and how to fix it ?
TIA
