Q_DECLARE_METATYPE a boost::multi_array

Question

我试图传递一个多维数组表示为boost::multi_array使用Qt的信号和插槽机制。我试图使用以下代码来声明元类型：

Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(boost::multi_array<double, 2>)

但是，我得到了以下编译错误(在MSVC 2015上)：

path\to\project\metatypes.h(7): error C2976: 'boost::multi_array': too few template arguments
..\..\ml_project\boost-libs\include\boost/multi_array.hpp(111): note: see declaration of 'boost::multi_array'

Answer 1

double, 2之间的逗号被解析为宏定义的一部分。解决办法如下：

备选案文1

typedef boost::multi_array<double, 2> my_name;

Q_DECLARE_METATYPE( my_name );

备选案文2

#include <boost/utility/identity_type.hpp>

Q_DECLARE_METATYPE( BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE( (boost::multi_array<double, 2>) ) );

备选案文3

手写BOOST_IDENTITY_TYPE

template <typename T> struct identity_type;
template <typename T> struct identity_type<void(T)> { typedef T type; };

#define IDENTITY_TYPE(T) typename identity_type<void T>::type

Q_DECLARE_METATYPE( IDENTITY_TYPE( (boost::multi_array<double, 2>) ) );

备选案文4

用预处理宏替换逗号：

#define COMMA ,
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE( boost::multi_array<double COMMA 2> );
#undef COMMA
