Detailed Description

template<template< typename type > class operation>
struct Belle2::Visitor< operation >

This is a class template which takes a template class operation as template argument.

This allows passing the functional class templates e.g std::greater<T>, which are templates themselves.

In the Nodes we often have to compare two node evaluation results with each other. They are of type variant<double, int, bool>. Variants cannot be compared to each other directly, you have to extract the values and compare them. This gives nine different combinations for two variants. C++ introduced the std::visit concept for this purpose of variant evaluation. std::visit takes a Visitor class and the variants as parameters. One way to write a Visitor is the following way, where a operator() overload is supplied for every data type combination the variants can have. The visitor has to be exhaustive (every data type combination must be covered), and every operator() overload has to have the same return type.

We have to do this comparisons for all comparison operators e.g ==, !=, > ... We can do this by passing the corresponding functional class template e.g std::equal_to<T>, std::not_equal_to<T>, std::greater<T> The datatype T is substituted in the operator() overload depending on the data type combination.

When comparing double/int and a bool the double/int overload of the functionals are used to disable implicit conversion to bool: std::equal_to<bool>{}(1.2, true) ==> true; 1.2 is implicitly converted to true, because of std::equal<bool> std::equal_to<double>{}(1.2, true) ==> false; true is implicity converted to 1.0, because of std::equal<double>
