c++ - 在不更改基类的情况下将一个派生类转换为另一个派生类

Question

我有几个子类都有相同的父类。每个子类都可以使用父对象中包含的一些数据来构造。我想使用基础对象中包含的信息(不修改基础对象)将一个 child 变成另一个 child 。

目前它的实现如下例所示:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Data {};
class base
{
public:
    base()  {}
    base(Data input) : data(input)  {}
    virtual ~base() {   cout << "Deleting :" << this->name() << endl;   }
    template<class T> static base* CastToDerrived(base* object)
    {
        T* output = new T(object->data);
        delete object;
        return output;
    }
    virtual const char* name()  {return "base";}
    Data data;
};

class derrived1 : public base
{
public:
    derrived1() {}

    derrived1(Data input): base(input){}
    ~derrived1(){cout << "Deleting :" << this->name() << endl;}
    const char* name(){return "derrived1";}
};

class derrived2 : public base
{
public:
    derrived2(){}
    derrived2(Data input): base(input){}
    ~derrived2(){cout << "Deleting :\t" << this->name() << endl;}
    const char* name(){return "derrived2";}
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    base* object = new derrived1();
    cout << "Created :\t"<<object->name()<<endl;
    object = base::CastToDerrived<derrived2>(object);
    cout << "Casted to :\t"<<object->name()<<endl;
}

哪些输出:

Created :   derrived1
Deleting :derrived1
Deleting :base
Casted to : derrived2

但是，这需要销毁并再次创建基类，我想避免这种情况 - 我想销毁 derrived1，使用 base 构造 derrived2，但保持基类完好无损。最好的方法是什么？

(有几个派生类，基类提供了所有的公共(public)接口(interface)，一些派生类以后会添加而不修改基类)。

您不能销毁派生类并保留基类，因为它们是同一个实例。 我们可以使用以下代码来证明这一点

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Data {};
class base
{
public:
    base()
    {
        printf("base pointer = %08X\n", this);
    }
};

class derrived1 : public base
{
public:
    derrived1()
    {
        printf("derrived1 pointer = %08X\n", this);
    }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    base* object = new derrived1();
    delete object;
    return 0;
}

输出将显示 base 和 derived1 是同一个指针 另一方面，您使用一些棘手的代码来实现您想要的。 这个想法是使用指向数据类的指针而不是变量。 你的代码将变成如下

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Data {};
class base
{
public:
    base(){data = new Data}
    base(Data* input) : data(input)  {}
    virtual ~base() {   cout << "Deleting :" << this->name() << endl;   }
    template<class T> static base* CastToDerrived(base* object)
    {
        T* output = new T(object->data);
        delete object; 
        return output;
    }
    virtual const char* name()  {return "base";}
    Data* data;
};

class derrived1 : public base
{
public:
    derrived1() {}

    derrived1(Data* input): base(input){}
    ~derrived1(){cout << "Deleting :" << this->name() << endl;}
    const char* name(){return "derrived1";}
};

class derrived2 : public base
{
public:
    derrived2(){}
    derrived2(Data* input): base(input){}
    ~derrived2(){cout << "Deleting :\t" << this->name() << endl;}
    const char* name(){return "derrived2";}
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    base* object = new derrived1();
    cout << "Created :\t"<<object->name()<<endl;
    object = base::CastToDerrived<derrived2>(object);
    cout << "Casted to :\t"<<object->name()<<endl;
}

我希望这会有所帮助。
