有谁知道为什么这不会编译？我已经尝试过 VS 2008 和 GCC 4.something 并且都吐出错误。我是否引用“ThisFunctionDoesNotCompile()”并不重要。

我可以通过将“InternalType”作为第二个模板参数传递给 Base 来解决这个问题，但我仍然很好奇为什么这会出现错误。

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class DataClass
{
public:
    int m_data;
};

template<typename DerivedType>
class Base
{
public:
    int ThisFunctionCompiles()
    {
        // No problems here.

        typename DerivedType::InternalType temp;
        temp.m_data = 5;
        return temp.m_data;
    }

    // error C2039: 'InternalType' : is not a member of 'Derived<InInternalType>'
    typename DerivedType::InternalType ThisFunctionDoesNotCompile()
    {
        return static_cast<DerivedType*>(this)->GetInternalData();
    }
};

template<typename InInternalType>
class Derived : public Base<Derived<InInternalType> >
{
public:
    typedef InInternalType InternalType;

    InternalType GetInternalData()
    {
        return m_internalData;
    }

private:
    InternalType m_internalData;


public:
    void SetInternalData( int newVal )
    {
        m_internalData.m_data = newVal;
    }
};

int main()
{

    Derived<DataClass> testDerived;
    testDerived.SetInternalData( 3 );

    cout << testDerived.GetInternalData().m_data << endl;
    cout << testDerived.ThisFunctionCompiles() << endl;

    // The compiler gives an error regardless of whether or not this is commented out.
    //cout << testDerived.ThisFunctionDoesNotCompile().m_data << endl;

    return 0;
}

这些是我在 VS 2008 中遇到的错误:

这些是 GCC 给我的:

main.cpp: In instantiation of 'Base<Derived<DataClass> >':
main.cpp:96:   instantiated from 'Derived<DataClass>'
main.cpp:119:   instantiated from here
main.cpp:88: error: no type named 'InternalType' in 'class Derived<DataClass>'

最佳答案

当模板类 Base 被实例化为类 Derived 的父类时，Derived 类不是一个完整的类型。

自 Base<Derived<DataClass> >是 Derived<DataClass> 的父类, 它必须在 Derived<DataClass> 之前被实例化可以实例化。所以当课Base<Derived<DataClass> >由模板构建，Derived<DataClass>表现得好像它是一个前向声明。您可能已经知道，您不能引用不完整类型的成员，您也不能前向声明嵌套类型，所以您在这里运气不好。

顺便说一句，这就是为什么很难使用模板实现适当协变的 clone() 方法。参见 here和 here (我的)。
