Hi All,
Given the following code that just defines a dummy class "my_class"
and a dummy wrapper "my_wrapper " with a main program :
#include <iostream>
template< typename _Tag >
class my_wrapper
{
public:
my_wrapper( _Tag const &tag )
: _M_tag(tag)
{
}
private:
_Tag const &_M_tag;
};
class my_class
{
public:
operator my_wrapper<my_c lass( )
{
return my_wrapper<my_c lass>(*this);
}
};
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
my_class instance;
my_function(ins tance);
return 0;
}
Now during compilation, and only given the above code, of course, the
compiler is going to complain that there is no match for the
"my_functio n" call with the "my_class" argument. If I provide the
following function implementation :
void function( my_wrapper<my_c lassconst &arg )
{
std::cout << "in specialized function\n";
}
Everything works fine as an implicit call to the "my_class::oper ator
my_wrapper<my_c lass>( )" will be performed to match the necessary
argument type of "my_functio n". But on the other hand, If I provide
the following implementation for "my_functio n" :
template< typename _Tag >
void my_function( wrapper<_Tagcon st &arg )
{
std::cout << "in my_function\n";
}
The compiler will complain again that there is no match for the call
to "my_functio n" with the "my_class" instance as the argument. Why is
that ? I would have though the compiler could have resolved the call
using the similar mechanism it used to resolve the call with the
previous definition of "my_functio n", but apparently not.
Is this limitation due to the fact that compilers don't do that kind
of lookup, or is it a language limitation directly ? And if it is a
language limitation, why does such a limitation exist ?
If function call resolution were to take into consideration casting
operators and template arguments, that would allow for a generic
implementation of my function with any kind of user defined type given
that the type declares a simple casting operator which would be
usefull for serveral things.
Is there any other way to obtain the same behaviour for the code
without defining all possible variations of the "my_functio n" function
or by explicitly creating a "my_wrapper " object ?
Thanks for your help and comments :)

Did you define 'wrapper<>' (or is that a typo)?

That's a typo, sorry :) the code for "my_functio n" should read :
template< typename _Tag >
void my_function( my_wrapper<_Tag const &arg )
{
std::cout << "in my_function\n";
}
Thanks,
Olivier.

Try this:
int main(){
my_class instance;
my_function( my_wrapper<my_c lass>( instance ) );
return 0;
}
Also, please do not quote signatures ( parts after "--" ). Some newsreaders
strip anything after that line, so, some people never see your reply.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, and comment noted regarding quoting
signatures :)
Yes that works, but i want to be able to do without the explicit call
to the my_wrapper<my_c lassobject constructor. And if that is not
possible, i'd like to understand why there is such a restriction on
function call resolution.

Hi,
I have a need for "dynamic type casting": in other words, in a "MyConvert"
method I get passed an Object "value" and a Type "type" and the method
should attempt to convert value into type.
Of course it first tries to obtain the appropriate TypeConverter. However,
for some types there are no applicable type converters.
Consider a custom class "Dummy" from a linked assembly (in my scenario,
