编写自己的 STL 容器

Question

是否有关于如何编写与任何STL 容器一样的新容器的指南？

Answer 1

这是我从第 23.2.1\4 节拼凑而成的序列伪容器。注意iterator_category 应该是std::input_iterator_tag、std::output_iterator_tag、std::forward_iterator_tag、std::bidirectional_iterator_tag、std::random_access_iterator_tag 之一。另请注意，以下技术上比要求的更严格，但这就是想法。请注意，由于迭代器的强大功能，绝大多数“标准”函数在技术上都是可选的。

template <class T, class A = std::allocator<T> >
class X {
public:
    typedef A allocator_type;
    typedef typename A::value_type value_type; 
    typedef typename A::reference reference;
    typedef typename A::const_reference const_reference;
    typedef typename A::difference_type difference_type;
    typedef typename A::size_type size_type;

    class iterator { 
    public:
        typedef typename A::difference_type difference_type;
        typedef typename A::value_type value_type;
        typedef typename A::reference reference;
        typedef typename A::pointer pointer;
        typedef std::random_access_iterator_tag iterator_category; //or another tag

        iterator();
        iterator(const iterator&);
        ~iterator();

        iterator& operator=(const iterator&);
        bool operator==(const iterator&) const;
        bool operator!=(const iterator&) const;
        bool operator<(const iterator&) const; //optional
        bool operator>(const iterator&) const; //optional
        bool operator<=(const iterator&) const; //optional
        bool operator>=(const iterator&) const; //optional

        friend iterator operator+(size_type, const iterator&); //optional
        iterator& operator-=(size_type); //optional            
        iterator operator-(size_type) const; //optional
        difference_type operator-(iterator) const; //optional

        reference operator*() const;
        pointer operator->() const;
        reference operator[](size_type) const; //optional
    };
    class const_iterator {
    public:
        typedef typename A::difference_type difference_type;
        typedef typename A::value_type value_type;
        typedef typename const A::reference reference;
        typedef typename const A::pointer pointer;
        typedef std::random_access_iterator_tag iterator_category; //or another tag

        const_iterator ();
        const_iterator (const const_iterator&);
        const_iterator (const iterator&);
        ~const_iterator();

        const_iterator& operator=(const const_iterator&);
        bool operator==(const const_iterator&) const;
        bool operator!=(const const_iterator&) const;
        bool operator<(const const_iterator&) const; //optional
        bool operator>(const const_iterator&) const; //optional
        bool operator<=(const const_iterator&) const; //optional

        const_iterator operator-(size_type) const; //optional
        difference_type operator-(const_iterator) const; //optional

        reference operator*() const;
        pointer operator->() const;
        reference operator[](size_type) const; //optional
    };

    typedef std::reverse_iterator<iterator> reverse_iterator; //optional
    typedef std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator> const_reverse_iterator; //optional

    X();
    X(const X&);
    ~X();

    iterator insert(const_iterator, std::initializer_list<T>); //optional
    iterator erase(const_iterator); //optional
    iterator erase(const_iterator, const_iterator); //optional

    bool empty() const;

    A get_allocator() const; //optional
};
template <class T, class A = std::allocator<T> >
void swap(X<T,A>&, X<T,A>&); //optional

另外，每当我制作一个容器时，我都会用一个或多或少这样的类进行测试：

#include <cassert>
struct verify;
class tester {
    friend verify;
    static int livecount;
    const tester* self;
public:
    tester() :self(this) {++livecount;}
    tester(const tester&) :self(this) {++livecount;}
    ~tester() {assert(self==this);--livecount;}
    tester& operator=(const tester& b) {
        assert(self==this && b.self == &b);
        return *this;
    }
    void cfunction() const {assert(self==this);}
    void mfunction() {assert(self==this);}
};
int tester::livecount=0;
struct verify {
    ~verify() {assert(tester::livecount==0);}
}verifier;

制作tester 对象的容器，并在测试容器时调用每个对象的function()。不要创建任何全局 tester 对象。如果你的容器在任何地方作弊，这个 tester 类将 assert 并且你会知道你不小心在某个地方作弊。

Answer 2

这是一个非常简单的伪向量实现，它基本上是std::vector 的包装器，并且有自己的（但真实的）迭代器，它模仿了 STL 迭代器。同样，迭代器非常简单，跳过了许多概念，如const_iterator、有效性检查等。

代码开箱即用。

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

template<typename T>
struct It
{
    std::vector<T>& vec_;
    int pointer_;

    It(std::vector<T>& vec) : vec_{vec}, pointer_{0} {}

    It(std::vector<T>& vec, int size) : vec_{vec}, pointer_{size} {}

    bool operator!=(const It<T>& other) const
    {
        return !(*this == other);
    }

    bool operator==(const It<T>& other) const
    {
        return pointer_ == other.pointer_;
    }

    It& operator++()
    {
        ++pointer_;            
        return *this;
    }

    T& operator*() const
    {
        return vec_.at(pointer_);   
    }
};

template<typename T>
struct Vector
{
    std::vector<T> vec_;

    void push_back(T item)
    {
        vec_.push_back(item);
    };

    It<T> begin()
    {
        return It<T>(vec_);
    }

    It<T> end()
    {
        return It<T>(vec_, vec_.size());
    }
};

int main()
{
  Vector<int> vec;
  vec.push_back(1);
  vec.push_back(2);
  vec.push_back(3);

  bool first = true;
  for (It<int> it = vec.begin(); it != vec.end(); ++it)
  {
      if (first) //modify container once while iterating
      {
          vec.push_back(4);
          first = false;
      }

      std::cout << *it << '\n'; //print it 
      (*it)++;                  //change it
  }

  for (It<int> it = vec.begin(); it != vec.end(); ++it)
  {
      std::cout << *it << '\n'; //should see changed value
  }
}

您需要阅读有关容器的 C++ 标准部分以及 C++ 标准对容器实现的要求。

C++03标准相关章节为：

第 23.1 节容器要求

C++11标准相关章节为：

第 23.2 节容器要求

C++11 标准的接近终稿可免费获得 here。

您不妨阅读一些优秀的书籍，这些书籍将帮助您从容器用户的角度了解需求。两本很容易打动我的好书是：
