无法使用 boost::apply_visitor 访问模板对象

Question

我正在学习 boost::variant 并使用 apply_visitor 访问其成员。所以，我写了下面的例子。 我有指向模板化对象的指针作为我的类成员。我想使用 apply_visitor 访问它们。

//Example program
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <boost/variant.hpp>
#include <boost/any.hpp>

class A {
    template<size_t dim>
    struct C : boost::static_visitor<C<dim> *>{
        int x;
        C() {
          x = dim;
        }
        template <size_t t>
        C<t> * operator()(C<t> *s) const {
          std::cout<<s->x<<std::endl;
          return s;
        }
    };
 public: 
    C<1>* Aasd;
    C<2>* Bbsd;
    std::map<std::string, boost::variant<C<2> *, C<1> * > > matrices;    

    A() {
        Aasd = new C<1>;
        Bbsd = new C<2>;
    matrices.insert(std::make_pair("Bb", Bbsd));

   boost::apply_visitor(C<2>(), matrices["Bb"]);
   //   boost::apply_visitor(C<1>(), matrices["Aa"]);
   }

    ~A() {
     delete Aasd;
     delete Bbsd;
    }        
};

int main()
{    
  A a;
  return 0;
}

我从上面编译得到的错误是

如果我从 boost::variant 声明中删除 C *，它可以编译并正常工作。

任何建议都将受到高度赞赏。

所有访问者函数必须遵循基类定义的方案：boost::static_visitor<C<dim> *>。

这意味着operator() 的返回值必须始终为C<dim> * 而不是C<t>* - 请参阅：

template<size_t dim>
struct C : boost::static_visitor<C<dim> *> {

   template <size_t t>
    C<dim> * operator()(C<t> *s) const {
  //  ^^^ - not t, must be as static_visitor parameter few lines above
      std::cout<<s->x<<std::endl;
      return s; // of course this part will have problems to compile
                // e.g. pointers to C<2> and C<1> are not convertible
    }

---

正如我在 return s 右侧放入 cmets - 这不会编译 - 因为编译器无法将 C<1> 转换为 C<2>。

您可能会做的是引入基类 - 如下所示：

struct CBase {
   int x;
};

template<size_t dim>
struct C : CBase, boost::static_visitor<CBase*> {

   C() : CBase{dim} {}

   template <size_t t>
    CBase* operator()(C<t> *s) const {
      std::cout<<s->x<<std::endl;
      return s; 
    }
