我发现 C++ 提供了默认的 operator<< enum 的函数类型:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

enum OpType {
    Select,
    Insert
};

int main() {
    OpType t = Select;
    cout << t;
    return 0;
}

运行结果为:

0

虽然不提供默认 operator>>功能:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

enum OpType {
    Select,
    Insert
};

int main() {
    OpType t = Select;
    cin >> t;
    return 0;
}

构建它会产生以下编译错误:

prog.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
prog.cpp:11:6: error: no match for ‘operator>>’ (operand types are ‘std::istream {aka std::basic_istream<char>}’ and ‘OpType’)

为什么C++不提供默认operator>>枚举类型的函数？

最佳答案

即使不考虑没有 << 的事实运算符 - 枚举首先隐式转换为整数 - 如何标准化它并不明显。

读取不存在的枚举值的结果是错误、未指定、实现定义还是未定义？

不同的应用程序需要不同的行为，甚至在同一个应用程序中也是如此。
这让每个人都回到原点，编写与我们现在相同的代码。

还有一个问题是，流运算符不是语言本身的一部分，流概念也不是，因此您无法真正让编译器为您生成它们。
