This sunday, we developed a really cool dynamic tracer for AspectC++.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; struct X { X (...) {} }; typedef char magically_sized_type[43564367]; magically_sized_type &operator << (ostream &os, X); template <typename T> struct detector { enum { RET = (sizeof (cout << T()) == sizeof (magically_sized_type)) }; }; template <typename T, int> struct Printer { static void print (ostream &out, const T &arg) { out << arg << endl; } }; template <typename T> struct Printer<T,1> { static void print (ostream &out, const T &arg) { out << "Unprintable type, addr: " << &arg << "size: " << sizeof (T) << endl; } }; template <typename T> void print (ostream &out, const T &arg) { Printer<T, detector<T>::RET>::print (out, arg); } int main() { print(std::cout, "Teststring"); print(std::cout, 4711); print(std::cout, 11.1); }
The interesting part about this pattern is, that it uses the operator«
for types which have such an operator, and an alternate implementation, which doesn't need it. I need it for implementing a generic tracer.
Please tell me if someone can construct a type or construction, which fails for this tracer.
