I am trying to create a map of functions with different parameters and return types. So, in order to do that, I have searched a lot through stackoverflow, and I think I got what I need, but not exactly...
Background:
From this post, the answer from pmr is the most accurate solution that I need. So, I have expanded the function call to a variadic template (I hope). So, here is my version of just that call (the rest of the AnyCaller class is exactly the same):
template<typename Ret, typename ...Args>
Ret call(const std::string& s, Args&&... arg) {
// we have to assume that our users know what we are actually returning here
const boost::any& a = calls[s];
return boost::any_cast< std::function<Ret(Args...)> >(a)(std::forward<Args>(arg)...);
}
And it compiles ok. Now, these are the three functions that I have used to test the class:
int foo() { MessageBoxW(nullptr, L"Helolo VOID", L"Info", NULL); return 1; }
double foo2(std::wstring str) { MessageBoxW(nullptr, str.data(), L"Info", NULL); return double(4.5); }
UINT foo3(std::wstring str1, std::wstring str2)
{
std::wstring strBuffer;
strBuffer = str1;
strBuffer += L"==>";
strBuffer += str2;
MessageBoxW(nullptr, strBuffer.data(), L"Info", NULL);
return 4;
}
So, the first one has a signature of int(void), the second double(std::wstring) and the third double(std::wstring, std::wstring).
Now, this is the testing code:
AnyCaller c;
c.add("foo1", std::function<int(void)>(foo));
c.add("foo2", std::function<double(std::wstring)>(foo2));
c.add("foo3", std::function<UINT(std::wstring, std::wstring)>(foo3));
c.call<int>("foo1");
c.call<double, std::wstring>("foo2", std::wstring(L"foo2!!!").data());
c.call<UINT, std::wstring, std::wstring>("foo3", std::wstring(L"foo3!!!").data(), std::wstring(L"---foo3!!!").data());
And all is running smoothly :)
So, yet this is working ok, what I really need is to add support for function members. Basically, what I have done is to create a class A with that exact same three functions and a few more for test purpose:
class A
{
public:
int foo() { MessageBoxW(nullptr, L"Helolo VOID", L"Info", NULL); return 1; }
double foo2(std::wstring str) { MessageBoxW(nullptr, str.data(), L"Info", NULL); return double(4.5); }
UINT foo3(std::wstring str1, std::wstring str2)
{
std::wstring strBuffer;
strBuffer = str1;
strBuffer += L"==>";
strBuffer += str2;
MessageBoxW(nullptr, strBuffer.data(), L"Info", NULL);
return 4;
}
std::wstring foo4(VOID) { return std::wstring(L"foo4"); }
std::wstring foo5(std::wstring strData) { return (strData + L"--foo5"); }
VOID foo6(VOID) { ; }
};
But I am unable to get this working. My first problem is to add the pointer to the member function:
A a;
c.add("foo1", std::function<int(void)>(&A::foo)); // => Not valid
c.add("foo1", std::function<int(void)>(&a.foo)); // => Not valid
c.add("foo1", &a.foo); // => Not valid
c.add("foo1", a.foo); // => Not valid
c.add("foo1", ?????); //What in heaven goes here?
Obviously must be some kind of conversion from a, but I cannot imagine what...
Of course, after that, I need to do the actual call:
int nRet = c.call<int>("foo1");
Thanks to anyone that can help :_)
PS: I cannot do static members, if that is a solution...
PS2: I am using VS2013...
SOLUTION:
Thanks to the comments of @Kiroxas, @Praetorian and this post, I have come out with a solution that does not involve variadic templates.
These are my test classes A and B:
class A
{
public:
int foo1() { MessageBoxW(nullptr, L"Helolo VOID", L"Info", NULL); return 1; }
int foo2(std::wstring str) { MessageBoxW(nullptr, str.data(), L"Info", NULL); return 5; }
int foo3(std::wstring str1, std::wstring str2)
{
std::wstring strBuffer;
strBuffer = str1;
strBuffer += L"==>";
strBuffer += str2;
MessageBoxW(nullptr, strBuffer.data(), L"Info", NULL);
return 4;
}
};
class B
{
public:
std::wstring foo4(VOID) { return std::wstring(L"foo4"); }
std::wstring foo5(std::wstring strData) { return (strData + L"--foo5"); }
VOID foo6(VOID) { ; }
double foo7(std::wstring str1, int nNum)
{
std::wstring strBuffer;
strBuffer = str1;
strBuffer += L"==>";
strBuffer += std::to_wstring(nNum);
MessageBoxW(nullptr, strBuffer.data(), L"Info", NULL);
return double(3.1415);
}
};
And this is the code to insert them into an array and call them :) My ideal solution would be to insert them into a map, so, as soon as I have all working, I will update ¡again! the post.
typedef struct
{
UINT ID;
std::wstring NAME;
boost::any Func;
} funcs;
funcs CallBackItems[] =
{
//From class A
{ 0, L"foo1", std::function<int(void)>(std::bind(&A::foo1, a)) },
{ 1, L"foo2", std::function<int(std::wstring)>(std::bind(&A::foo2, a, std::placeholders::_1)) },
{ 2, L"foo3", std::function<int(std::wstring, std::wstring)>(std::bind(&A::foo3, a, std::placeholders::_1, std::placeholders::_2)) },
//From class B
{ 3, L"foo4", std::function<std::wstring(void)>(std::bind(&B::foo4, b)) },
{ 4, L"foo5", std::function<std::wstring(std::wstring)>(std::bind(&B::foo5, b, std::placeholders::_1)) },
{ 5, L"foo6", std::function<void(void)>(std::bind(&B::foo6, b)) },
{ 6, L"foo7", std::function<double(std::wstring, int)>(std::bind(&B::foo7, b, std::placeholders::_1, std::placeholders::_2)) }
};
int nResult = -1;
std::wstring wstrResult = L"";
double dResult = 0.0;
//class A
nResult = boost::any_cast<std::function<int(void)>>(CallBackItems[0].Func)();
nResult = boost::any_cast<std::function<int(std::wstring)>>(CallBackItems[1].Func)(L"foo2");
nResult = boost::any_cast<std::function<int(std::wstring, std::wstring)>>(CallBackItems[2].Func)(L"foo", L"3");
//class B
wstrResult = boost::any_cast<std::function<std::wstring(void)>>(CallBackItems[3].Func)();
wstrResult = boost::any_cast<std::function<std::wstring(std::wstring)>>(CallBackItems[4].Func)(L"foo5");
boost::any_cast<std::function<void(void)>>(CallBackItems[5].Func)();
dResult = boost::any_cast<std::function<double(std::wstring, int)>>(CallBackItems[6].Func)(L"foo", 7);
