Чем короче, тем лучше:
template <typename Base, typename Derived>
struct is_base {
constexpr static bool check(Base*) { return true; }
constexpr static bool check(...) { return false; }
enum { value = check(static_cast<Derived*>(0)) };
};
Пример 1:
struct A {};
struct B : A { };
int main(void) {
static_assert(is_base<A,B>::value, "If Error: A is not base of B");
}
Пример 2:
template <bool, typename T=void>
struct Use {
static std::string info() { return "Implementation that consider that A is not base of B"; }
};
template <typename T>
struct Use<true,T> {
static std::string info() { return "Implementation that consider that A is the base of B"; }
};
int main(void) {
std::cout << Use<is_base<A,B>::value>::info(); //Implementation that consider that A is the base of B
}
