如何避免容器的序列化程序和序列化程序之间的循环模板依赖关系？

Question

我正在为stl容器的反/序列化编写模板类。

假设我想序列化一个set<int>。我有一个基类serialisation和下面的模板：

template<typename T>class serialiser;

template<>class serialiser<int>:public serialisation<int>{
public:
  void serialise ( int t );
};

要序列化set，我有：

template<typename T>class Container_serialiser:public serialisation<T>{
public:
  void serialise ( T t );
private:
  /* Notice that I must declare a serialiser.
   */
  serialiser<typename T :: value_type>value_serialiser;
};

template<typename T>void Container_serialiser<T>::serialise ( T t ){
  for(typename T :: const_iterator t_iterator = t . begin ( );t_iterator != t . end ( );++ t_iterator){
    value_serialiser . serialise ( * t_iterator );
  }
}

--这只适用于具有不包含容器的元素的容器。

问题

如果我想序列化一个map<int,set<int> >怎么办？

由于每个元素的类型都是pair<int,set<int> >，所以我需要以下类：

template<>class serialiser<pair<int,set<int> > >:public serialisation<pair<int,set<int> > >{
public:
  void serialise ( const pair<int,set<int> >t );
private:
  serialiser<int>t_first_serialiser;

  /* Notice that I must declare a Container_serialiser.
   */
  Container_serialiser<set<int> >t_second_serialiser;
};

然而，Container_serialiser要求serialiser<T>是一个完整的类型。因此，在上述类之后才能定义它。同样，上面的类要求Container_serialiser<T>是一个完整的类型，不能在它之前定义。

编译器会产生以下错误：

prog.cpp: In instantiation of 'class Container_serialiser<std::map<int, std::set<int> > >':
prog.cpp:73:44:   required from here
prog.cpp:40:39: error: 'Container_serialiser<T>::value_serialiser' has incomplete type
   serialiser<typename T :: value_type>value_serialiser;
                                       ^
prog.cpp:25:27: note: declaration of 'class serialiser<std::pair<const int, std::set<int> > >'
 template<typename T>class serialiser;

我可以通过编写四个模板来完成这项工作：

1. serialiser0<T>适用于所有非容器且不包含容器的T
2. Container_serialiser0<T>适用于所有T，其value_type是serialiser0<T>的参数
3. 对于所有不是容器但包含不包含容器的元素的容器的所有T的serialiser1<T>
4. Container_serialiser1<T>适用于所有T，其value_type是serialiser1<T>的参数

这种设计是重复的、令人困惑的，必须对每一个新级别的容器进行手动扩展。有更好的模式吗？

不幸的是，由于我正在从事的项目，我必须避免外部依赖(如boost.serialization )，即使代价是为C++98标准编写性能。

Answer 1

(我必须承认，我忘记了这个问题。)

由于@michael-gopshtein的评论，我最终偶然发现了部分模板专业化，它很好地解决了这个问题。注意，我必须同时使用template <typename SerialisedType> class Serialiser和template <typename SerialisedType> inline void serialise(const SerialisedType &x)。函数本身不能是部分专用的，但是Serialiser::serialise的大多数专门化取决于对::serialise的一般调用。

要序列化std::map<int, std::set<int>>，我需要编写以下内容：

#include <map>
#include <set>
#include <utility>

// For the sake of having a MWE, I'll just write int-s to stdout.
#include <iostream>

template <typename SerialisedType> class Serialiser;

template <typename SerialisedType>
inline void serialise(const SerialisedType &x) {
  Serialiser<SerialisedType>::serialise(x);
}

template <> class Serialiser<int> {
public:
  inline static void serialise(const int &x);
};

template <typename Key> class Serialiser<std::set<Key>> {
public:
  inline static void serialise(const std::set<Key> &x);
};

template <typename T1, typename T2> class Serialiser<std::pair<T1, T2>> {
public:
  inline static void serialise(const std::pair<T1, T2> &x);
};

template <typename Key, typename T>
class Serialiser<std::map<Key, T>> {
public:
  inline static void serialise(const std::map<Key, T> &x);
};

void Serialiser<int>::serialise(const int &x) {
  std::cout << x << "\n";
}

template <typename Key>
void Serialiser<std::set<Key>>::serialise(const std::set<Key> &x) {
  {
    const typename std::set<Key>::const_iterator x_cend = x.cend();

    for (typename std::set<Key>::const_iterator x_iterator = x.cbegin();
         x_iterator != x_cend; ++x_iterator)
      ::serialise(*x_iterator);
  }
}

template <typename T1, typename T2>
void Serialiser<std::pair<T1, T2>>::serialise(const std::pair<T1, T2> &x) {
  ::serialise(x.first);
  ::serialise(x.second);
}

template <typename Key, typename T>
void Serialiser<std::map<Key, T>>::serialise(const std::map<Key, T> &x) {
  {
    const typename std::map<Key, T>::const_iterator x_cend = x.cend();

    for (typename std::map<Key, T>::const_iterator x_iterator = x.cbegin();
         x_iterator != x_cend; ++x_iterator)
      ::serialise(*x_iterator);
  }
}

int main() {
  std::map<int, std::set<int>> u {
    {5, {2, 3}},
    {7, {2, 3}}
  };
  serialise(u);
}

输出：

5
2
3
7
2
3
