Runtime polymorphism in C++ - runtime

I have an interface, and I was trying an example on dynamic polymorphism as follows:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class foo{
public:
virtual void set();
virtual void printValue();
};
class fooInt : public foo{
private:
int i;
public:
int get(){
return i;
}
void set(int val){ //override the set
i = val;
}
void printValue(){
cout << i << endl;
}
};
int main(){
foo *dt; //Create a base class pointer
dt = new fooInt; //Assign a sub class reference
dt->set(9);
}
However when I compile this, I get no matching function for call to ‘foo::set(int)’. Where am I going wrong? I tried to read this article, and I still couldn't figure out the mistake.

class foo has no method set(int). It has a method set(), but no method set(int).
If you intend to override an inherited method, the superclass method and your method must have the same signature:
class foo {
...
// If you really want an abstract class, the `= 0`
// ensures no instances can be created (makes it "pure virtual")
virtual void set(int) = 0;
...
}

This is because your definition of
virtual void set();
Should be
virtual void set(int val);

The corrected program is given here
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class foo {
public:
virtual void set(int val)=0;////////here you have void set() function with no argument but you tried to override void set(int val) which take one argument.
virtual void printValue()=0;
};
class fooInt : public foo{
private:
int i;
public:
fooInt()
{
cout<<"constructor called\n";
}
int get(){
return i;
}
void set(int val){ //override the set
i = val;
}
void printValue(){
cout << i << endl;
}
};
int main(){
foo *dt; //Create a base class pointer
dt=new fooInt;
dt->set(9);
dt->printValue();
}
Fault of the previous program were
1.You tried to override set() {no argument} with set(int val){one argument}.
2.When a class contain a pure virtual function,it must be implemented by its derived classes.
3. No object can be created of a class which contain a pure virtual function.But ref can be created.
Thanks

static assert on std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<class name> is not working

class Base
{
public:
Base(Base&&) = default;
};
class Derived: public Base
{
public:
Derived(Derived&&) = default;
};
int main()
{
static_assert(std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<Derived>, "Error noexcept");
}
In this code even if neither Derived nor Base declared move constructor noexcept but still this passes static assert on std::is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<Derived>.
Why?

Gmock - strict mock and unique ptr - how to pass mock to impl

Here is an example code:
class Interface
{
public:
virtual ~Interface(){}
virtual void Start() = 0;
};
class MockInterface: public Interface
{
public:
MOCK_METHOD0(Start, void());
};
class T
{
public:
T(std::unique_ptr<Interface>& impl): impl_(impl){}
private:
std::unique_ptr<Interface>& impl_;
};
I would like to create a strict mock but I'm not sure how to construct it as unique ptr and then pass to T constructor.
#include <gmock/gmock.h>
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
class Interface
{
public:
virtual ~Interface(){};
virtual void Start() = 0;
};
class MockInterface : public Interface
{
public:
MOCK_METHOD0( Start, void() );
};
class T
{
public:
explicit T( std::unique_ptr< Interface > impl ) :
impl_( std::move( impl ) ) {}
void Start()
{
impl_->Start();
}
private:
std::unique_ptr< Interface > impl_;
};
TEST( Interface_test, Interface )
{
auto mock{ std::make_unique< MockInterface >() };
EXPECT_CALL( *mock, Start() );
auto t{ T{ std::move( mock ) } };
t.Start();
}
Posting a complete answer with an example of usage and an update to the class T. It is recommended to move the unique_ptr instead of taking a reference.

Accessing private class data type

class factory final {
private:
class object final {
public:
int x;
};
public:
inline static std::shared_ptr<object> createObject() { return std::make_shared<object>(); }
};
int main() {
auto item1 = factory::createObject();
std::shared_ptr<factory::object> item2 = factory::createObject();
return std::getchar();
}
Hello. The code above fails to compile with VS2015 because I cannot access private member (class object) of class factory. So far so good and it makes alot of sense. I am curious why does the auto line works. It does resolve to correct type and works as intended.

Passing member function that accepts Base type to class that owns Derived type

Example
In example above I've tried to store pointer-to-member_function of the overloaded function in the template-based class.
The problem is that overloaded function uses Base class as parameter and current class is template class from Derived class.
Handlers
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
class HandlerA
{
public:
void foo(const std::string& m)
{
std::cout << "HandlerA: " << m << '\n';
}
};
class IBaseHandlerB
{
public:
virtual void bar(const std::string& m) = 0;
};
class HandlerB : public IBaseHandlerB
{
public:
virtual void bar(const std::string& m) override
{
std::cout << "HandlerB: " << m << '\n';
}
};
Events
class Event
{
public:
virtual void write(HandlerA&) const = 0;
virtual void write(IBaseHandlerB&) const = 0;
};
class FancyEvent : public Event
{
public:
virtual void write(HandlerA& h) const override
{
h.foo("FancyEvent");
}
virtual void write(IBaseHandlerB& h) const override
{
h.bar("FancyEvent");
}
};
Wrapper and usage example
template <typename T, typename Event>
class HandlerWrapper
{
public:
HandlerWrapper(T&& handler, void(Event::*func)(T&) const)
: m_handlerImpl(std::forward<T>(handler))
, m_eventFn(func) {}
void call(const Event& event)
{
(event.*m_eventFn)(m_handlerImpl);
}
private:
T m_handlerImpl;
void(Event::*m_eventFn)(T&) const;
};
// ------- Usage -------
int main(void)
{
FancyEvent event;
// OK
HandlerWrapper<HandlerA, Event> h(HandlerA(), &Event::write);
h.call(event);
// Error: Candidate constructor not viable: no overload of
// 'writeWithHandler' matching
// 'void (LogEvent::*)(CEFEventHandler &) const' for 2nd argument
HandlerWrapper<HandlerB, Event> h2(HandlerB(), &Event::write);
h2.call(event);
return 0;
}
Question
How to specify correct template type to accept function-to-Base if class template argument is derived from that Base?
My goal is to pass just pointer-to-member_function to another class whenever that class is the same with type that function accepts or derived from it.

Calling a managed class function from an unmanaged class object

This is a class library clr/c++ project.
Class A is unmanaged c++, class B managed c++.
I would like to create an object of B from a C# application and call the "void Sign" with that object and catch the StatusEvent in C#.
How to call B::Showsts from A::call_A in order to achieve this? Please keep in mind that call_A is called from a delegate of the B class object.
Thank you in advance!
public class A{
public:
int call_A();
};
public ref class B{
private:
A* a1;
public:
void Sign(String^ ufile);
void Showsts(string sts);
delegate void GetResult(String^);
event GetResult^ StatusEvent;
SpyrusLib(void){
a1=new A();
}
protected: ~SpyrusLib(){
delete a1;
}
private:
String^ str;
delegate int MySignDelegate(String^);
int MySign(String^ file);
void Callbacksign(IAsyncResult ^ar);
};
void B::Sign(String^ ufile){
MySignDelegate^ signDel = gcnew MySignDelegate( this, &B::MySign );
AsyncCallback^ cb = gcnew AsyncCallback( this, &B::Callbacksign);
signDel->BeginInvoke( ufile , cb, signDel );
}
int B::MySign(String^ file){
stdstr=msclr::interop::marshal_as<std::string>(file);
a1->call_A(stdstr);
}
void B::Showsts(string sts){
str = gcnew String(sts.c_str());
StatusEvent(str);
}
int A::call_A(string stat){
?-Showsts(stat);
}
I'm not sure it's the best solution but I solved it adding the following things to the classes:
typedef void (__stdcall * Unmanagedstatus)(string sts);
using namespace std;
public class A{
private:
Unmanagedstatus sendmsg;
public:
int call_A();
spyrus(Unmanagedstatus unm)
{
sendmsg=unm;
}
};
public ref class B
{
private:
delegate void Managedstatus(string);
Managedstatus^ managed;
IntPtr unmanaged;
A* a1;
public:
SpyrusLib(void)
{
managed = gcnew Managedstatus(this, &B::Showsts);
unmanaged = Marshal::GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(managed);
a1=new A((Unmanagedstatus)(void*)unmanaged);
}
}
int A::call_A(string stat){
sendmsg(stat); // this will call B::Showsts and the events raised
//from Showsts are also working in the C# app
}
