C++利用模板检测是否包含某个函数，并决定生成什么样的调用代码

// ======= ======= 使用上面的方法来做个实验 ======= =======

class A
{
public:
  A() = default;
  A(const A &other)
  {
    printf("call A::A, this is unsafe method, can not return error code to user\n");
    a_ = other.a_;
  }
  ~A() = default;
  // note: 这里必须加上 const，否则签名不匹配，会走到 A::A
  int assign(const A &other) {
    a_ = other.a_;
    printf("call A::assigned, this is safe method, can return error code to user\n");
    return 0;
  }
private:
  int a_;
};

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
  A a;
  A b;
  // 自动判断 A 是否有 assign 方法并决定如何将 a 拷贝到 b：
  // - 1. 调assign 
  // - 2. 使用A的拷贝构造函数
  construct_assign(b, a);
  return 0;
}

编译测试下：

[xiaochu.yh ~/tools] $g++ assign.cpp -std=c++0x -o assign
[xiaochu.yh ~/tools] $./assign
has ::assign method
call A::assigned, this is safe method, can return error code to user
