所谓重载,是指允许存在多个同名函数,而这些函数的参数表不同,即函数名相同但函数的签名不同。重载并不是面向对象编程的特有属性,这是因为重载是在编译阶段实现的,编译器根据函数不同的参数表,对同名函数的名称做修饰,然后这些同名函数就成了不同的函数(这一点稍后有例子)。了
Const 参数重载解析:
关于const 重载几乎在所有c++的书中者提到过但大部分只是一句话,例如在《C++ primer》一书中这样描述:“可基于函数的引用形参是指向 const 对象还是指向非 const 对象,实现函数重载。将引用形参定义为 const 来重载函数是合法的,因为编译器可以根据实参是否为 const 确定调用哪一个函数。”
但是这一段描述并没有给出引用、指针和值传递前加const的实质区别是什么。在用非const的指针,引用和值均可转化为const的。这一点没有太多可说明的东东。
对于函数值传递的情况,因为参数传递是通过复制实参创建一个临时变量传递进函数的,函数内只能改变临时变量,但无法改变实参。则这个时候无论加不加const对实参不会产生任何影响。但是在引用或指针传递函数调用中,因为传进去的是一个引用或指针,这样函数内部可以改变引用或指针所指向的变量,这时const 才是实实在在地保护了实参所指向的变量。因为在编译阶段编译器对调用函数的选择是根据实参进行的,所以,只有引用传递和指针传递可以用是否加const来重载。
下面给出一个例子可能就更明白了:
- C++ 代码
- #include<iostream>
- class A{
- public:
- A();
- int foo(int *test);
- int foo(const int *test);
- };
- A::A(){
- }
- int A::foo(int *test){
- std::cout << *test << " A::foo(int *test)" <<std::endl;
- return 1;
- }
- int A::foo(const int *test){
- std::cout << *test << " A::foo(const int *test)" <<std::endl;
- return 1;
- }
- int main()
- {
- const int b =5;
- int c = 3;
- A a;
- a.foo(&b);
- a.foo(&c);
- return 1;
- }
输出:
- A::foo(const int *test)
- A::foo(int *test)
那么编译器又是怎样工作的,通过g++ -S选项将汇编代码生成出来,通过AT&T汇编代码可以看出一些端倪来(之所以用AT&T汇编是因为VS生成的中间代码实在是让人头晕):

如上面的代码函数:
int foo(int *test);和int foo(const int *test);分别被编译器生成名为:_ZN1A3fooEPKi和_ZN1A3fooEPi(这两个名字会因为编译器的不同而不同,名字只是一个区分的符号而已不用深究,只用知道重载的函数经过编译器的处理函数名字已经发生了变化。所以对于后面的汇编和链接工作就不存在重载的问题了。)这里也同时说明对重载来说在编译阶段已经完成。
对于a.foo(&b);因为变量b有const修饰所以就调用了int foo(const int *test);对于a.foo(&c);调用int foo(int *test);因为这个是精确匹配的。但是如果没有定义int foo(const int *test);则在代码24行会出现编译错误。反过来如果没有定义函数:int foo(int *test);如下:
- 代码
- #include<iostream>
- class A{
- public:
- A();
- // int foo(int *test);
- int foo(const int *test);
- };
- A::A(){
- }
- /*int A::foo(int *test){
- std::cout << *test << " A::foo(int *test)" <<std::endl;
- return 1;
- }
- */
- int A::foo(const int *test){
- std::cout << *test << " A::foo(const int *test)" <<std::endl;
- return 1;
- }
- int main()
- {
- const int b =5;
- int c = 3;
- A a;
- a.foo(&b);
- a.foo(&c);
- return 1;
- }
则输出结果为:
- 5 A::foo(const int *test)
- 3 A::foo(const int *test)
原因c++ primer上讲的很清楚:“We can use a nonconst object to initializer either a const or nonconst reference. However, initializing a constreference to a nonconst object requires a conversion, whereas initializing a nonconst parameter is an exact match.”
const 成员函数重载的解析:
const 成员函数重载的解析和const参数重载解析的原理可以说是一样的。之所以这样说是因为const成员函数的解析可被看做是对函数this参数用const来修饰的过程。例如下面代码:
- 代码
- #include<iostream>
- class A{
- public:
- A();
- int foo(int *test); //可看做:int foo(A *this,int *test);
- int foo(int *test) const;//可看做:int foo(const A *this,int *test);
- };
- A::A(){
- }
- int A::foo(int *test){
- std::cout << *test << "foo" <<std::endl;
- return 1;
- }
- int A::foo(int *test) const {
- std::cout << *test << "foo const" <<std::endl;
- return 1;
- }
- int main()
- {
- int b = 5;
- const A a;
- a.foo(&b);
- return 1;
- }
上面可以看到编译阶段的调用也是通过对重载函数的别名来实现的。
总结:
1.const重载主要是通过能否对传入的参数进行修改为判断的。
2.const参数重载和const函数重载机制都是一样的,因为对于const 函数重载可看做是对隐含的指针this的参数重载。
3.重载是在编译阶段已经完成,对于汇编和链接来说透明的。
