“ operator bool（）const”是什么意思

表单的成员函数 

operator TypeName()

是转换运算符。它们允许使用类类型的对象，就像它们属于类型一样，TypeName并且当它们存在时，可以TypeName使用转换函数将其转换为。

在这种特殊情况下，operator bool()允许将类类型的对象当作a来使用bool。例如，如果您有一个名为的类类型的对象，则obj可以将其用作

if (obj)

这将调用operator bool()，返回结果，并将结果用作的条件if。

应该指出的是，这operator bool()是一个非常糟糕的主意，您绝对不要使用它。有关它为什么不好的详细说明以及问题的解决方案，请参阅“安全布尔成语”。

（C ++ 0x，即将发布的C ++标准修订版，增加了对显式转换运算符的支持。这将使您能够编写explicit operator bool()能够正确运行的保险箱，而不必跳过实现Safe Bool成语的烦恼。）

“好像是布尔值一样使用”错误地暗示您可以为它分配一个布尔值。相反，在发布者的代码中，它将生成布尔类型的临时变量，该变量与col的瞬时值有关，但此后与创建它的对象无关。此外，提到Safe Bool成语非常棒，但是只是为了注册存在相反的观点：恕我直言，“从不真正使用它”建议是最重要的-它以更加模糊的API为代价，提供了更严格的编译器检查以防止愚蠢的滥用可能导致意外误用。

@Tony：好吧，它可以像是布尔一样使用。由于转换的结果是右值（bool），因此不能将其赋值给右值（）。如果它是可修改的左值（例如bool&），则可以分配给它。至于正确性，我认为anoperator bool()总是不正确的，因为它允许在您永远不希望使用的情况下使用类类型的对象。安全布尔（Safe Bool）是更好的选择。

因此，根据今天的最后一段，完全可以使用explicit operator bool()。我理解正确吗？

C ++委员会似乎在运算符bool（）上与您不同意。至少对于该标准的最新版本（例如，en.cppreference.com / w / cpp / utility / optional）。也许您是说只应允许STL代码使用它？

@JoeSteele-请参阅stackoverflow.com/a/16615725/2492801。显式转换运算符很安全！

operator bool() const 
{
    return col != 0;
}

定义如何将类转换为布尔值，const之后的()用来表示此方法不会发生突变（更改此类的成员）。

通常，您将使用以下运算符：

airplaysdk sdkInstance;
if (sdkInstance) {
    std::cout << "Instance is active" << std::endl;
} else {
    std::cout << "Instance is in-active error!" << std::endl;
}

我想提供更多代码以使其清楚。

struct A
{
    operator bool() const { return true; }
};

struct B
{
    explicit operator bool() const { return true; }
};

int main()
{
    A a1;
    if (a1) cout << "true" << endl; // OK: A::operator bool()
    bool na1 = a1; // OK: copy-initialization selects A::operator bool()
    bool na2 = static_cast<bool>(a1); // OK: static_cast performs direct-initialization

    B b1;     
    if (b1) cout << "true" << endl; // OK: B::operator bool()
    // bool nb1 = b1; // error: copy-initialization does not consider B::operator bool()
    bool nb2 = static_cast<bool>(b1); // OK: static_cast performs direct-initialization

这是用户定义的implicit转换函数，可将您的类转换为true或false。

//usage
bool value = yourclassinstance; //yourclassinstance is converted into bool!

这是的隐式转换bool。即在任何允许隐式转换的地方，都可以bool通过调用该方法将类转换为。

正如其他人所说的，它用于类型转换，在这种情况下为bool。例如：

class A {
    bool isItSafe;

public:
    operator bool() const
    {
        return isItSafe;
    }

    ...
};

现在，我可以像使用布尔值一样使用此类的对象：

A a;
...
if (a) {
    ....
}

在编写自己的unique_ptr时，我发现了这种情况。考虑std::unique_ptr的operator==：

template<class T1, class D1, class T2, class D2>
bool operator==(const unique_ptr<T1, D1>& x, const unique_ptr<T2, D2>& y);

template <class T, class D>
bool operator==(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t) noexcept;

template <class T, class D>
bool operator==(nullptr_t, const unique_ptr<T, D>& x) noexcept;

这个来自libstdcxx的测试用例：

  std::unique_ptr<int> ptr;
  if (ptr == 0)
    { }
  if (0 == ptr)
    { }
  if (ptr != 0)
    { }
  if (0 != ptr)
    { }

请注意，因为其中ptr有一个explicit operator bool() const noexcept;，所以operator overload resolution在这里工作正常，例如ptr == 0选择

 template <class T, class D>
 bool operator==(const unique_ptr<T, D>& x, nullptr_t) noexcept;`.

如果explicit此处没有关键字，则ptrinptr == 0将被转换为bool，然后bool将被转换为int，因为它bool operator==(int, int)是内置的并且0是int。等待我们的是模棱两可的重载解析错误。

这是一个最小，完整和可验证的示例：

#include <cstddef>
struct A
{
    constexpr A(std::nullptr_t) {}
    operator bool() 
    {
        return true;
    }
};

constexpr bool operator ==(A, A) noexcept
{
    return true;
}

constexpr bool operator ==(A, std::nullptr_t) noexcept
{
    return true;
}

constexpr bool operator ==(std::nullptr_t, A) noexcept
{
    return true;
}

int main()
{
    A a1(nullptr);
    A a2(0);
    a1 == 0;
}

gcc：

prog.cc: In function 'int main()':

此示例使用operator ()not operator bool。他们是完全不同的。operator ()是调用运算符，因此aComparer可以作为函数调用。那operator ()恰好会返回bool，但这并不能与之相同operator bool，只是允许隐式转换为bool。
