C.4: Make a function a member only if it needs direct access to the representation of a class
C.4:只有直接访问表达的函数,才应该成为成员。
Reason(原因)
Less coupling than with member functions, fewer functions that can cause trouble by modifying object state, reduces the number of functions that needs to be modified after a change in representation.
和使用成员函数相比普通函数耦合性略低,一方面可以通过修改对象状态带来麻烦的函数会变少,另一方面可以减少改变类表达时需要修改的函数的数量。
Example(示例)
The "helper functions" have no need for direct access to the representation of a Date
.
“帮助函数”没有需求要直接访问Data的表达。
Note(注意)
This rule becomes even better if C++ gets "uniform function call".
如果C++可以导入“统一函数调用”这条准则甚至会变得更完美。
译者注:“uniform funcation call”是C++之父本人提出的C++语法建议。核心是对于一个形如f(x,y)的函数调用,如果不存在函数f(x,y),可以转而调用x.f(y)。有了这个语法,编写非成员帮助函数的灵活性将会进一步加大。
Exception(例外)
The language requires virtual
functions to be members, and not all virtual
functions directly access data. In particular, members of an abstract class rarely do.
(C++)语言要求虚函数必须是成员,而且不是所有的虚函数都会直接访问数据。通常抽象类的成员很少直接访问数据。
Note multi-methods.

Exception(类外)
The language requires operators =
, ()
, []
, and ->
to be members.
语言要求=,(),[]和->运算符作为成员存在。
Exception(列外)
An overload set may have some members that do not directly access private
data:
一组重载函数中也许会有某个成员不会直接访问私有数据。
Exception(例外)
Similarly, a set of functions may be designed to be used in a chain:
类似地,一组函数可能被设计用来串联使用。
Typically, some but not all of such functions directly access private
data.
通常,有些但不是所有这样的函数都会直接访问私有数据
Enforcement(实施建议)
- Look for non-
virtual
member functions that do not touch data members directly. The snag is that many member functions that do not need to touch data members directly do.
寻找没有直接接触数据成员的非虚成员函数。讽刺的是存在许多不需要直 接访问数据成员的成员函数。 - Ignore
virtual
functions.
忽略虚函数。 - Ignore functions that are part of an overload set out of which at least one function accesses
private
members.
如果一组重载函数中至少有一个函数访问了私有成员,那么忽略其他函数。
- Ignore functions returning
this
.
忽略返回this指针的函数。
