    Dependent type - boost::apply_visitor

    Consider,

    Code:
    
    # include <iostream>
    # include <map>
    # include <boost/variant.hpp>
    # include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp>

    // Generic visitor that does magical dispatching of

    // those types specified in a type list.

      }
    
      inline void operator () (int v) const {

    //    using Foo<T>::visitor ;

    template < typename T>
    Bar<T> Bar<T>::mBar;
    
    int main() {
    
      try {

      }
      std::cout << "[done]" << std::endl;
      std::cin.get()  ;
    
    }
    I get compilation error at boost::apply_visitor. The question: How do I pass a dependent type to boost::apply_visitor?

    Which error do you get?
    'visitor' is a member variable of Foo, it is not a type name. So, just use
    Code:
    boost::apply_visitor(Foo<T>::visitor, intField);
    Why did you make the visitor a member variable anyway? You can just create a temporary.
    Code:
    boost::apply_visitor(T(), intField);

    'visitor' is a member variable of Foo<T> in your code. Why? The class type is passed by the user as template argument. You don't need a member variable for that.

    Re: Dependent type - boost::apply_visitor

    I've _already_ posted the _full_ code. Here's doWork with Foo<T>::visitor as the first argument.

    Code:
    # include <iostream>
    # include <map>
    # include <boost/variant.hpp>
    # include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp>
    # include <boost/mpl/contains.hpp>

    // Generic visitor that does magical dispatching of
    // types and delegates passes down to your visitor only
    // those types specified in a type list.

    Re: Dependent type - boost::apply_visitor

    Here's the code with your suggestion. Note I commented out "T visitor" in Foo and I've changed the first argument in doWork to "boost::apply_visitor ( T(), intField ) ;

    Code:

    The boost library is at version 1.53. According to your compiler listing, you are using 1.49.

    You are 4 versions behind from the latest build. I would suggest you try the latest build of Boost first, as numerous fixes go into boost on each revision, including fixes that affect compiler compilation issues.

    No need for the attitude. The compiler error you posted now is different from the one you posted before. That one didn't make sense for the line of code you posted; it was about a using declaration.

    Anyway, try including the correct header: <boost/variant/apply_visitor.hpp>.

    Re: Dependent type - boost::apply_visitor

    Greetings Paul, I upgraded to boost 1.53 and the end result is the same. i.e.

    main.cpp(108): error C2780: 'boost::apply_visitor_delayed_t<Visitor> boost::apply_visitor(Visitor &)' : expects 1 arguments - 2 provided.

    I'm not sure if I understand why the call to apply_visitor is invoking 'applied_visitor_delayed_t'.

    Well the error means what it says. Why are you calling "apply_visitor" with two arguments? I just looked at the boost headers, and indeed, boost::apply_visitor takes one argument.
    Code:
    template <typename Visitor>
    inline apply_visitor_delayed_t<Visitor> apply_visitor(Visitor& visitor)
    {
        return apply_visitor_delayed_t<Visitor>(visitor);
    }
    The other "apply_visitor" functions are members of the apply_visitor_delayed_t class. You're calling the global (or boost namespace, non-class version), and that takes only 1 argument.
    Code:
            boost::apply_visitor (  T(), intField  );
    This is calling the non-class version, and from what I can see, this is not overloaded to take two or more arguments.

    Re: Dependent type - boost::apply_visitor

    I think I'm back to my original (sort of) question then. Consider:

    Code:
    class Foo {
    
    // Generic visitor that does magical dispatching of
    // types and delegates passes down to your visitor only
    // those types specified in a type list.
    template <typename Visitor, typename TypeList>
    struct lets_see :
      public boost::static_visitor<void>,
      public Visitor
    {
        template <typename T>
        inline void operator () 
            ( T v, typename boost::enable_if< 
              typename boost::mpl::contains< TypeList, T >::type >::type *dummy = NULL ) const
        {
            Visitor::operator () (v);
        }
    
        template <typename T>
        inline void operator () 
            ( T v, 
              typename boost::disable_if < 
                 typename boost::mpl::contains< TypeList, T >::type >::type *dummy = NULL ) const
        {}
    };
    
    
    struct nil { int x ; };
    struct example_visitor
    {
      typedef lets_see
          < example_visitor, 
            boost::mpl::vector<nil, char, int > > value_type;
    
      inline void operator () (char v) const {
        std::cout << "character detected" << std::endl;
      }
    
      inline void operator () (int v) const {
        std::cout << "integer detected=" << v << std::endl;
      }
    
      inline void operator () (nil v) const {
        std::cout << "nil detected=" << v.x << std::endl;
      }
    };
    
    
    protected :
    
      typedef boost::variant <  
           nil, char, int, double 
       > sql_field;
    
      example_visitor::value_type visitor  ;
      typedef std::map< unsigned int , Foo* > FooMap;
      static FooMap mFooMap;
    
    
    public :
       static Foo* createInstance( unsigned int const );
       void Register( unsigned int const, Foo* );
       virtual void doWork () ;
    };
    Foo::FooMap Foo::mFooMap; 
    
    Foo* Foo::createInstance( unsigned int const in ) {
      FooMap::iterator it = mFooMap.find( in ); 
      if ( it != mFooMap.end() ) {
        return ( it->second );
      } else {
        return 0 ;
      }
    }
    void Foo::Register( unsigned int const in, Foo* factory ) {
      mFooMap.insert( FooMap::value_type( in, factory ) );
    }
    void Foo::doWork() {}
    
    class Bar : public Foo {
    // Bar( const bar& );
    public :
      Bar( unsigned int a )  {
        Register ( a, this ) ;
      }
      static Bar mBar;
      void doWork () {  
        sql_field intField ( 1 );
        boost::apply_visitor (  visitor, intField  );
        std::cout << "Work done" << std::endl; 
      }
    };
    Bar Bar::mBar = 0;
    
    int main() {
    
      try {
        Bar  b ( 5 );
        Foo * ptr = Foo::createInstance ( 5 ) ;
        if ( ptr )  {
          ptr->doWork();
        }
      } catch ( const std::exception& e ) {
        std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
      }
      std::cout << "[done]" << std::endl;
      std::cin.get()  ;
    
    }
    This is the non-templated version of the code that I experimented with which produces the desired result. Trouble is within the Foo class the user defined type ("example_visitor::value_type visitor" ) is hard coded. i.e

    Code:
      example_visitor::value_type visitor  ;
    My desire is to accept whatever user defined type is presented as opposed to the hard coded (example_visitor::value_type) version, hence why I went the template route. The question then becomes, how can I my objective?

    Thanks in advance.
