Type depends on condition in template

Can I make a template function with arguments, which types are depends on template argument? (Code below is just to explain, what I want)



#include <complex>

template <bool two>
void foo( (if (two) ? double* : std::complex<double>* >) input, size_t n)
{
for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++n)
input[i] *= two ? 2.0 : 1.0;
}

void foo_double(double *input, size_t n){
foo<true>(input,n);

}

void foo_complex (std::complex<double> *input, size_t n){
foo<false>(input,n);
}


I thought std::conditional would help, but I guess, I don't know how to use it correctly here (code below can't be compiled)



#include <type_traits>
#include <complex>

template <bool two>
void foo(std::conditional<two, double*, std::complex<double>* > input, size_t n)
{
for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++n)
input[i] *= two ? 2.0 : 1.0;
}

void foo_double(double *input, size_t n){
foo<true>(input,n);

}

void foo_complex (std::complex<double> *input, size_t n){
foo<false>(input,n);
}


It would be very nice, if someone find solution without higher than c++11, so I will be able to compile it both in vs2012 and with gcc-6+. But some examples with c++14 or higher will be good experience too.



Thanks =)

    Why do you need to even do this? Why not template<typename T> void foo(T input, size_t n) { ...} ?

  • std::conditional is the right choice. Did you look in the docs to see how to use it? If you don't have access to C++11, you should be able to implement it yourself (it's documented if you need help).

  • use std::conditional like this: std::conditional<some_bool, type_true, type_false>::type

You only have to add a ::type and a typename



template <bool two>
// ......*typename*.....................................................*::type*
void foo (typename std::conditional<two, double*, std::complex<double>* >::type input, size_t n)
{
for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++n)
input[i] *= two ? 2.0 : 1.0;
}
