I'm trying to make a function that converts a std::any
object to string, given that the list of possible types is hard-coded. However, there's a problem when user parse raw string like AnyPrint("555")
. I use the method from Checking std::any's type without RTTI
I got the following output when I run the program:
140722480985696, i int(1)
140722480985696, f float(2.000000)
140722480985696, d double(3.000000)
140722480985696, NSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE string("4")
140722480985696, PKc string("4")
140722480985696, Pc 555
How can I handle a std::any
of raw string? I don't want to write AnyPrint("555"s)
unless it's the only way.
Edit: I use this to run the example https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_c++_compiler
Type of "555"
is const char[4]
which might decays to const char*
. You handle char*
, but not const char*
.
Handling const char*
fixes your issue:
std::string AnyPrint(const std::any &value)
{
std::cout << size_t(&value) << ", " << value.type().name() << " ";
if (auto x = std::any_cast<int>(&value)) {
return "int(" + std::to_string(*x) + ")";
}
if (auto x = std::any_cast<float>(&value)) {
return "float(" + std::to_string(*x) + ")";
}
if (auto x = std::any_cast<double>(&value)) {
return "double(" + std::to_string(*x) + ")";
}
if (auto x = std::any_cast<std::string>(&value)) {
return "string(\"" + (*x) + "\")";
}
if (auto x = std::any_cast<const char*>(&value)) {
return *x;
}
return "other";
}
