从Java到C++——从union到VARIANT与CComVariant的深层剖析

      我第一次用VARIANT和CComVariant的时候完全不明白它是怎么回事，为它什么数据类型都可以存放，什么数据都可以被可以初始化？里面到底是怎么实现的？感觉又神奇又迷惑！我们在上一节中讲了union的用法之后你也许想到了大概是怎么回事了。没错，union可以帮我们实现这一个神奇的功能。而且VARIANT定义中确实使用了union。如果你还不明白，那我们就自己来模拟实现一个类似于CComVariant功能的类把，废话不多说，看代码：

CVariate.h:

#ifndef CVARIATE_H
#define CVARIATE_H

#include <string.h>

//======================================================
const unsigned int DEFAULT_STRLEN = 256;
//=======================================================

//自己定义一个类用于存放任意类型的数据，以模拟类型VARIANT的功能。
class CVariate
{
public:
    CVariate() : type(INT), nVal(0){}               //默认构造函数，初始化nVal，值为0
    virtual ~CVariate(){};                          //虚构函数，不做任何处理
    CVariate(const CVariate& val) : type(val.type)  //拷贝构造函数
    {
        CopyUnion(val);
    }
    CVariate &operator=(char c)
    {
        type = CHAR;
        cVal = c;
        return *this;
    }
    CVariate &operator=(short int sn)
    {
        type = SHORT;
        snVal = sn;
        return *this;
    }
    CVariate &operator=(int i)
    {
        type = INT;
        nVal = i;
        return *this;
    }
    CVariate &operator=(long l)
    {
        type = LONG;
        lVal = l;
        return *this;
    }
    CVariate &operator=(float f)
    {
        type = FLOAT;
        fVal = f;
        return *this;
    }
    CVariate &operator=(double d)
    {
        type = DOUBLE;
        dVal = d;
        return *this;
    }
    CVariate &operator=(const char* str);
    void CopyUnion(const CVariate& val);                    //数据的拷贝
    void DisplayValue();
private:
    enum {CHAR, SHORT, INT, LONG, FLOAT, DOUBLE, STR}type;  //为不同的数据类型定义一个枚举值
    union                                                   //union，可以存入各种类型的数据
    {
        char cVal;
        short snVal;
        int nVal;
        long lVal;
        float fVal;
        double dVal;
        char strVal[DEFAULT_STRLEN];
    };
