C++ enum优雅的实现

 

enum到string相互转换，是必须而经常的

enum_string.h

#pragma once

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

// This is the type that will hold all the strings.
// Each enumeration type will declare its own specialization.
// Any enum that does not have a specialization will generate a compiler error
// indicating that there is no definition of this variable (as there should be
// be no definition of a generic version).
template<typename T>
struct enumStrings
{
    static char const* data[];
};

// This is a utility type.
// Created automatically. Should not be used directly.
template<typename T>
struct enumRefHolder
{
    T& enumVal;
    enumRefHolder(T& enumVal) : enumVal(enumVal) {}
};
template<typename T>
struct enumConstRefHolder
{
    T const& enumVal;
    enumConstRefHolder(T const& enumVal) : enumVal(enumVal) {}
};

// The next two functions do the actual work of reading/writing an
// enum as a string.
template<typename T>
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& str, enumConstRefHolder<T> const& data)
{
    return str << enumStrings<T>::data[data.enumVal];
}

template<typename T>
std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& str, enumRefHolder<T> const& data)
{
    std::string value;
    str >> value;

    // These two can be made easier to read in C++11
    // using std::begin() and std::end()
    //  
    static auto begin = std::begin(enumStrings<T>::data);
    static auto end = std::end(enumStrings<T>::data);

    auto find = std::find(begin, end, value);
    if (find != end)
    {
        data.enumVal = static_cast<T>(std::distance(begin, find));
    }
    return str;
}


// This is the public interface:
// use the ability of function to deduce their template type without
// being explicitly told to create the correct type of enumRefHolder<T>

template<typename T>
enumConstRefHolder<T>  enumToString(T const& e) { return enumConstRefHolder<T>(e); }

template<typename T>
enumRefHolder<T>       enumFromString(T& e) { return enumRefHolder<T>(e); }

/*
// Define Enum Like this
enum X {Hi, Lo};
// Then you just need to define their string values.
template<> char const* enumStrings<X>::data[] = {"Hi", "Lo"};

X   a=Hi;

std::cout << enumToString(a) << "\n";

std::stringstream line("Lo");
line >> enumFromString(a);

std::cout << "A: " << a << " : " << enumToString(a) << "\n";

common.h

#include "enum_string.h"
enum ReturnCodes 
{
    OK = 0,
    ERROR,
    ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND,
    ERROR_FAILED_TO_CREATE_PATH,
};

{
    "OK",

            return_code = std::min(std::max(return_code, (int)ReturnCodes::OK), (int)ReturnCodes::ERROR_UNKNOWN);
            std::string str(enumStrings<ReturnCodes>::data[return_code]);
