c++ - 无限模板递归，因为仅使用 gcc 没有 bool 表达式优化

Question

我正在研究一个词法施法者。请参阅下面代码中简化的、有问题的部分。该代码使用 clang 和 msvc 编译，但无法使用 gcc 编译。看起来，在 lexicalCast 的 std::enable_if 的第一个参数中gcc 尝试在评估之前评估 bool 表达式的所有操作数，而 clang 和 msvc 进行优化并忽略 LexicalCastable<>:: value 的评估如果std::is_same表达式失败。 我的问题是:

• 标准是否规定了哪些行为是正确的？
• 如何解决这个问题才能用 GCC 编译这段代码？

代码:

#include <type_traits>
#include <string>

template<typename From, typename To>
class LexicalCastable;

template<typename To, typename From> typename
    std::enable_if<
           !std::is_same<std::string, To>::value
        && !std::is_same<std::string, From>::value
        && LexicalCastable<From, std::string>::value
        && LexicalCastable<std::string, To>::value,
To>::type lexicalCast(const From &from) {
    return lexicalCast<To>(lexicalCast<std::string>(from));
}

template<typename From, typename To>
class LexicalCastable
{
    template<typename TT>
    static auto test(int)
        -> decltype(lexicalCast<TT>(std::declval<From>()), std::true_type{});

    template<typename>
    static auto test(...)->std::false_type;

public:
    static const bool value = decltype(test<To>(0))::value;
};

static_assert(!LexicalCastable<std::string, std::string>::value, "");

gcc 错误:

Answer 1

how can I solve this problem to be able to compile this code with GCC

您可以使用保证短路的std::conjunction (C++17)

template <typename To, typename From>
typename std::enable_if<
    std::conjunction<
           std::negation<std::is_same<std::string, To>>,
           std::negation<std::is_same<std::string, From>>,
           LexicalCastable<From, std::string>
           LexicalCastable<std::string, To>>::value,
    To>::type
lexicalCast(const From &from)
{
    return lexicalCast<To>(lexicalCast<std::string>(from));
}
