#ifndef COMMON_FUNCTION_VIEW_H
#define COMMON_FUNCTION_VIEW_H
/* function_view is a polymorphic type-erasing wrapper class that
encapsulates a non-owning reference to arbitrary callable objects.
A way to put it is that function_view is to std::function like
std::string_view is to std::string. While std::function stores a
type-erased callable object internally, function_view holds a
type-erased reference to an external callable object.
This is meant to be used as callback type of a function that:
#1 - Takes a callback as parameter.
#2 - Wants to support arbitrary callable objects as callback type
(e.g., stateful function objects, lambda closures, free
functions).
#3 - Does not store the callback anywhere; instead the function
just calls the callback directly or forwards it to some
other function that calls it.
#4 - Can't be, or we don't want it to be, a template function
with the callable type as template parameter. For example,
when the callback is a parameter of a virtual member
function, or when putting the function template in a header
would expose too much implementation detail.
Note that the C-style "function pointer" + "void *data" callback
parameter idiom fails requirement #2 above. Please don't add new
uses of that idiom. I.e., something like this wouldn't work;
typedef bool (iterate_over_foos_cb) (foo *f, void *user_data),
void iterate_over_foos (iterate_over_foos_cb *callback, void *user_data);
foo *find_foo_by_type (int type)
{
foo *found = nullptr;
iterate_over_foos ([&] (foo *f, void *data)
{
if (foo->type == type)
{
found = foo;
return true; // stop iterating
}
return false; // continue iterating
}, NULL);
return found;
}
The above wouldn't compile, because lambdas with captures can't be
implicitly converted to a function pointer (because a capture means
some context data must be passed to the lambda somehow).
C++11 gave us std::function as type-erased wrapper around arbitrary
callables, however, std::function is not an ideal fit for transient
callbacks such as the use case above. For this use case, which is
quite pervasive, a function_view is a better choice, because while
function_view is light and does not require any heap allocation,
std::function is a heavy-weight object with value semantics that
generally requires a heap allocation on construction/assignment of
the target callable. In addition, while it is possible to use
std::function in such a way that avoids most of the overhead by
making sure to only construct it with callables of types that fit
std::function's small object optimization, such as function
pointers and std::reference_wrapper callables, that is quite
inconvenient in practice, because restricting to free-function
callables would imply no state/capture/closure, which we need in
most cases, and std::reference_wrapper implies remembering to use
std::ref/std::cref where the callable is constructed, with the
added inconvenience that std::ref/std::cref have deleted rvalue-ref
overloads, meaning you can't use unnamed/temporary lambdas with
them.
Note that because function_view is a non-owning view of a callable,
care must be taken to ensure that the callable outlives the
function_view that calls it. This is not really a problem for the
use case function_view is intended for, such as passing a temporary
function object / lambda to a function that accepts a callback,
because in those cases, the temporary is guaranteed to be live
until the called function returns.
Calling a function_view with no associated target is undefined,
unlike with std::function, which throws std::bad_function_call.
This is by design, to avoid the otherwise necessary NULL check in
function_view::operator().
Since function_view objects are small (a pair of pointers), they
should generally be passed around by value.
Usage:
Given this function that accepts a callback:
void
iterate_over_foos (gdb::function_view<void (foo *)> callback)
{
for (auto &foo : foos)
callback (&foo);
}
you can call it like this, passing a lambda as callback:
iterate_over_foos ([&] (foo *f)
{
process_one_foo (f);
});
or like this, passing a function object as callback:
struct function_object
{
void operator() (foo *f)
{
if (s->check ())
process_one_foo (f);
}
// some state
state *s;
};
state mystate;
function_object matcher {&mystate};
iterate_over_foos (matcher);
or like this, passing a function pointer as callback:
iterate_over_foos (process_one_foo);
You can find unit tests covering the whole API in
unittests/function-view-selftests.c. */
