在C11中,有_Generic宏可以允许很酷的泛型函数.但是,使用true和false会导致在正常情况下不正确的推论:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdbool.h> #define TypeName(x) \ _Generic((x),\ bool: "bool",\ int: "int",\ default: "unknown") #if defined (__STDC_VERSION__) && (__STDC_VERSION__ >= 201112L) && (__bool_true_false_are_defined) # undef true # define true ((bool)(1)) # undef false # define false ((bool)(0)) #endif int main(void) { printf("1: %s\n",TypeName(1)); printf("true: %s\n",TypeName(true)); printf("false: %s\n",TypeName(false)); }
这打印:
1: int true: bool false: bool
但是没有重新定义真假的中间位:
1: int true: int false: int
这意味着您无法执行_Generic功能,例如:
struct Variant * const int32 = variant_create(1); struct Variant * const boolean = variant_create(true);
所以我的问题是:

解决方法
这两种类型都是宏:
7.18 Boolean type and values
- The remaining three macros are suitable for use in #if preprocessing directives.
They are:
true which expands to the integer constant 1,
false which expands to the integer constant 0,
and
__bool_true_false_are_defined which expands to the integer constant 1.
最后一条规则说您可以重新定义宏:
Notwithstanding the provisions of 7.1.3,a program may undefine and perhaps then
redefine the macros bool,true,and false. 259)259) See ‘‘future library directions’’ (7.31.9)
尽管引用了规则:
7.1.3 Reserved identifiers
- If the program removes (with #undef) any macro definition of an identifier in the first
group listed above,the behavior is undefined.
规则7.31.9说重新定义可能不是一个好主意:
7.31.9 Boolean type and values
- The ability to undefine and perhaps then redefine the macros bool,and false is
an obsolescent feature.
所以我建议你创建自己的my_true和my_false宏,这些宏被转换为_Bool.
