21 /* function_view is a polymorphic type-erasing wrapper class that
22 encapsulates a non-owning reference to arbitrary callable objects.
24 A way to put it is that function_view is to std::function like
25 std::string_view is to std::string. While std::function stores a
26 type-erased callable object internally, function_view holds a
27 type-erased reference to an external callable object.
29 This is meant to be used as callback type of a function that:
31 #1 - Takes a callback as parameter.
33 #2 - Wants to support arbitrary callable objects as callback type
34 (e.g., stateful function objects, lambda closures, free
35 functions).
37 #3 - Does not store the callback anywhere; instead the function
38 just calls the callback directly or forwards it to some
39 other function that calls it.
41 #4 - Can't be, or we don't want it to be, a template function
42 with the callable type as template parameter. For example,
43 when the callback is a parameter of a virtual member
44 function, or when putting the function template in a header
45 would expose too much implementation detail.
47 Note that the C-style "function pointer" + "void *data" callback
48 parameter idiom fails requirement #2 above. Please don't add new
49 uses of that idiom. I.e., something like this wouldn't work;
51 typedef bool (iterate_over_foos_cb) (foo *f, void *user_data),
52 void iterate_over_foos (iterate_over_foos_cb *callback, void *user_data);
54 foo *find_foo_by_type (int type)
56 foo *found = nullptr;
58 iterate_over_foos ([&] (foo *f, void *data)
60 if (foo->type == type)
62 found = foo;
63 return true; // stop iterating
65 return false; // continue iterating
66 }, NULL);
68 return found;
71 The above wouldn't compile, because lambdas with captures can't be
72 implicitly converted to a function pointer (because a capture means
73 some context data must be passed to the lambda somehow).
75 C++11 gave us std::function as type-erased wrapper around arbitrary
76 callables, however, std::function is not an ideal fit for transient
77 callbacks such as the use case above. For this use case, which is
78 quite pervasive, a function_view is a better choice, because while
79 function_view is light and does not require any heap allocation,
80 std::function is a heavy-weight object with value semantics that
81 generally requires a heap allocation on construction/assignment of
82 the target callable. In addition, while it is possible to use
83 std::function in such a way that avoids most of the overhead by
84 making sure to only construct it with callables of types that fit
85 std::function's small object optimization, such as function
86 pointers and std::reference_wrapper callables, that is quite
87 inconvenient in practice, because restricting to free-function
88 callables would imply no state/capture/closure, which we need in
89 most cases, and std::reference_wrapper implies remembering to use
90 std::ref/std::cref where the callable is constructed, with the
91 added inconvenience that std::ref/std::cref have deleted rvalue-ref
92 overloads, meaning you can't use unnamed/temporary lambdas with
93 them.
95 Note that because function_view is a non-owning view of a callable,
96 care must be taken to ensure that the callable outlives the
97 function_view that calls it. This is not really a problem for the
98 use case function_view is intended for, such as passing a temporary
99 function object / lambda to a function that accepts a callback,
100 because in those cases, the temporary is guaranteed to be live
101 until the called function returns.
103 Calling a function_view with no associated target is undefined,
104 unlike with std::function, which throws std::bad_function_call.
105 This is by design, to avoid the otherwise necessary NULL check in
106 function_view::operator().
108 Since function_view objects are small (a pair of pointers), they
109 should generally be passed around by value.
111 Usage:
113 Given this function that accepts a callback:
115 void
116 iterate_over_foos (gdb::function_view<void (foo *)> callback)
118 for (auto &foo : foos)
119 callback (&foo);
122 you can call it like this, passing a lambda as callback:
124 iterate_over_foos ([&] (foo *f)
126 process_one_foo (f);
129 or like this, passing a function object as callback:
131 struct function_object
133 void operator() (foo *f)
135 if (s->check ())
136 process_one_foo (f);
139 // some state
140 state *s;
143 state mystate;
144 function_object matcher {&mystate};
145 iterate_over_foos (matcher);
147 or like this, passing a function pointer as callback:
149 iterate_over_foos (process_one_foo);
151 There's also a gdb::make_function_view function that you can use to
152 automatically create a function_view from a callable without having
153 to specify the function_view's template parameter. E.g.:
155 auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
156 auto fv = gdb::make_function_view (lambda);
158 This can be useful for example when calling a template function
159 whose function_view parameter type depends on the function's
160 template parameters. In such case, you can't rely on implicit
161 callable->function_view conversion for the function_view argument.
162 You must pass a function_view argument already of the right type to
163 the template function. E.g., with this:
165 template<typename T>
166 void my_function (T v, gdb::function_view<void(T)> callback = nullptr);
168 this wouldn't compile:
170 auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
171 my_function (1, lambda);
173 Note that this immediately dangles the temporary lambda object:
175 gdb::function_view<void(int)> fv = [&] (int) { ... }; // dangles
176 my_function (fv);
178 To avoid the dangling you'd have to use a named temporary for the
179 lambda:
181 auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
182 gdb::function_view<void(int)> fv = lambda;
183 my_function (fv);
185 Using gdb::make_function_view instead automatically deduces the
186 function_view's full type, and, avoids worrying about dangling. For
187 the example above, we could write instead:
189 auto lambda = [&] (int) { ... };
190 my_function (1, gdb::make_function_view (lambda));
192 You can find unit tests covering the whole API in
193 unittests/function-view-selftests.c. */
