C++ RTTI(运行时类型识别)开销问题详解与解决方法

C++ RTTI(运行时类型识别)开销问题详解与解决方法

1. RTTI基本原理与开销分析

1.1 RTTI的实现机制

#include <typeinfo>
#include <iostream>

// RTTI主要通过虚函数表和type_info对象实现
class Base {
public:
    virtual ~Base() = default;  // 必须至少有一个虚函数才能使用RTTI
};

class Derived : public Base {
public:
    void specific() { std::cout << "Derived specific method" << std::endl; }
};

void test_rtti_mechanism() {
    Base* base_ptr = new Derived();
    
    // typeid运算符的开销:
    // 1. 通过虚函数表查找type_info
    // 2. 返回type_info的引用
    const std::type_info& ti = typeid(*base_ptr);
    std::cout << "Type name: " << ti.name() << std::endl;
    
    // dynamic_cast的开销更大:
    // 1. 遍历继承层次结构
    // 2. 检查转换的合法性
    // 3. 调整指针(如果是多重继承)
    Derived* derived_ptr = dynamic_cast<Derived*>(base_ptr);
    if (derived_ptr) {
        derived_ptr->specific();
    }
    
    delete base_ptr;
}

1.2 RTTI的内存开销

#include <cxxabi.h>  // 用于demangle类型名

class SimpleBase {
    int data;
public:
    virtual ~SimpleBase() = default;
};

class SimpleDerived : public SimpleBase {
    double extra;
};

void analyze_rtti_memory() {
    SimpleBase base;
    SimpleDerived derived;
    
    // 每个多态类型都有type_info对象(静态存储区)
    const std::type_info& base_info = typeid(SimpleBase);
    const std::type_info& derived_info = typeid(SimpleDerived);
    
    // 虚函数表包含指向type_info的指针
    // 对于有虚函数的类,对象包含:
    // 1. 虚函数表指针(通常8字节)
    // 2. 类成员数据
    
    std::cout << "sizeof(SimpleBase): " << sizeof(SimpleBase) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "sizeof(SimpleDerived): " << sizeof(SimpleDerived) << std::endl;
    
    // 虚函数表本身也占用内存
    // 每个多态类有一个虚函数表
    // 表中包含:
    // - 指向type_info的指针
    // - 虚函数地址
    // - 基类偏移量(用于多重继承)
}

2. RTTI性能开销的量化分析

2.1 dynamic_cast的性能测试

#include <chrono>
#include <vector>
#include <memory>
#include <iostream>

class Interface {
public:
    virtual ~Interface() = default;
    virtual int process() = 0;
};

class ImplA : public Interface {
    int value = 0;
public:
    int process() override { return ++value; }
};

class ImplB : public Interface {
    int value = 0;
public:
    int process() override { return --value; }
};

class ImplC : public Interface {
    int value = 100;
public:
    int process() override { return value *= 2; }
};

void benchmark_dynamic_cast() {
    constexpr int NUM_OBJECTS = 1000000;
    constexpr int NUM_ITERATIONS = 100;
    
    // 创建混合类型的对象
    std::vector<std::unique_ptr<Interface>> objects;
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_OBJECTS; ++i) {
        switch (i % 3) {
            case 0: objects.push_back(std::make_unique<ImplA>()); break;
            case 1: objects.push_back(std::make_unique<ImplB>()); break;
            case 2: objects.push_back(std::make_unique<ImplC>()); break;
        }
    }
    
    // 测试1:使用dynamic_cast进行类型分发
    auto start1 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    int sum1 = 0;
    for (int iter = 0; iter < NUM_ITERATIONS; ++iter) {
        for (auto& obj : objects) {
            if (auto* a = dynamic_cast<ImplA*>(obj.get())) {
                sum1 += a->process();
            } else if (auto* b = dynamic_cast<ImplB*>(obj.get())) {
                sum1 += b->process();
            } else if (auto* c = dynamic_cast<ImplC*>(obj.get())) {
                sum1 += c->process();
            }
        }
    }
    auto end1 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    
    // 测试2:使用虚函数进行类型分发(作为对比)
    auto start2 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    int sum2 = 0;
    for (int iter = 0; iter < NUM_ITERATIONS; ++iter) {
        for (auto& obj : objects) {
            sum2 += obj->process();
        }
    }
    auto end2 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    
    auto time1 = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end1 - start1);
    auto time2 = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end2 - start2);
    
    std::cout << "dynamic_cast time: " << time1.count() << "ms" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "virtual function time: " << time2.count() << "ms" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Speedup: " << (double)time1.count() / time2.count() << "x" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Results: " << sum1 << " vs " << sum2 << std::endl;
}

2.2 typeid的性能开销

#include <unordered_map>

class TypeHierarchy {
public:
    virtual ~TypeHierarchy() = default;
    virtual const char* name() const = 0;
};

class TypeA : public TypeHierarchy {
public:
    const char* name() const override { return "TypeA"; }
};

class TypeB : public TypeHierarchy {
public:
    const char* name() const override { return "TypeB"; }
};

void benchmark_typeid() {
    constexpr int NUM_CALLS = 10000000;
    
    TypeA a;
    TypeB b;
    TypeHierarchy* ptr = &a;
    
    // 测试typeid开销
    auto start1 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_CALLS; ++i) {
        // 切换指针以模拟真实场景
        ptr = (i % 2 == 0) ? &a : &b;
        const std::type_info& ti = typeid(*ptr);
        volatile const char* name = ti.name();  // volatile防止优化
    }
    auto end1 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    
    // 测试虚函数开销(对比)
    auto start2 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_CALLS; ++i) {
        ptr = (i % 2 == 0) ? &a : &b;
        volatile const char* name = ptr->name();
    }
    auto end2 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    
    auto time1 = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end1 - start1);
    auto time2 = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end2 - start2);
    
    std::cout << "typeid time: " << time1.count() << "ms" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "virtual function time: " << time2.count() << "ms" << std::endl;
}

3. 禁用RTTI的场景与影响

3.1 编译时禁用RTTI

// 编译选项:-fno-rtti (GCC/Clang) 或 /GR- (MSVC)

// 当禁用RTTI时,以下代码将无法编译:
class NoRttiBase {
public:
    virtual ~NoRttiBase() = default;
};

class NoRttiDerived : public NoRttiBase {
public:
    void specific() {}
};

void test_disabled_rtti() {
    NoRttiBase* ptr = new NoRttiDerived();
    
    // 编译错误:typeid requires RTTI
    // const std::type_info& ti = typeid(*ptr);
    
    // 编译错误:dynamic_cast requires RTTI
    // NoRttiDerived* derived = dynamic_cast<NoRttiDerived*>(ptr);
    
    // 替代方案:使用static_cast(危险,需要自己保证类型正确)
    NoRttiDerived* unsafe_derived = static_cast<NoRttiDerived*>(ptr);
    if (unsafe_derived) {
        unsafe_derived->specific();
    }
    
    delete ptr;
}

3.2 混合启用/禁用RTTI的问题

// 问题:库启用RTTI,用户代码禁用RTTI
// mylib.h
#pragma once

class MyBase {
public:
    virtual ~MyBase() = default;
    
#ifdef MYLIB_WITH_RTTI
    virtual const char* type_name() const { return typeid(*this).name(); }
#else
    virtual const char* type_name() const = 0;
#endif
};

// mylib.cpp (编译时启用RTTI)
#include "mylib.h"

#ifdef MYLIB_WITHOUT_RTTI
// 具体类的实现
class MyDerived : public MyBase {
public:
    const char* type_name() const override { return "MyDerived"; }
};
#endif

// 用户代码(可能禁用RTTI)
void user_code() {
    // 如果库使用typeid,但用户代码禁用RTTI,会导致链接错误
}

4. 自定义RTTI系统

4.1 基于枚举的类型标识

#include <cstdint>
#include <type_traits>

// 方案1:手动类型ID系统
class CustomRTTIBase {
public:
    enum TypeID : uint32_t {
        TYPE_BASE = 0,
        TYPE_DERIVED_A,
        TYPE_DERIVED_B,
        TYPE_DERIVED_C
    };
    
    virtual ~CustomRTTIBase() = default;
    virtual TypeID get_type_id() const = 0;
    
    // 类型安全的转换
    template<typename T>
    T* as() {
        if (get_type_id() == T::STATIC_TYPE_ID) {
            return static_cast<T*>(this);
        }
        return nullptr;
    }
    
    template<typename T>
    const T* as() const {
        if (get_type_id() == T::STATIC_TYPE_ID) {
            return static_cast<const T*>(this);
        }
        return nullptr;
    }
};

// 宏简化类型声明
#define DECLARE_TYPE_ID(TypeName, ParentType) \
    static constexpr TypeID STATIC_TYPE_ID = TYPE_##TypeName; \
    TypeID get_type_id() const override { return STATIC_TYPE_ID; }

class DerivedA : public CustomRTTIBase {
public:
    DECLARE_TYPE_ID(DERIVED_A, CustomRTTIBase)
    
    void method_a() { std::cout << "Method A" << std::endl; }
};

class DerivedB : public CustomRTTIBase {
public:
    DECLARE_TYPE_ID(DERIVED_B, CustomRTTIBase)
    
    void method_b() { std::cout << "Method B" << std::endl; }
};

void test_custom_rtti() {
    CustomRTTIBase* obj = new DerivedA();
    
    // 使用自定义RTTI
    if (obj->get_type_id() == DerivedA::STATIC_TYPE_ID) {
        DerivedA* a = static_cast<DerivedA*>(obj);
        a->method_a();
    }
    
    // 使用模板方法
    if (auto* a = obj->as<DerivedA>()) {
        a->method_a();
    }
    
    // 转换失败返回nullptr
    if (auto* b = obj->as<DerivedB>()) {
        b->method_b();  // 不会执行
    }
    
    delete obj;
}

4.2 基于模板的类型标识

#include <typeindex>
#include <unordered_map>

// 方案2:编译时类型标识(不使用std::type_info)
template<typename T>
struct TypeTag {
    static const char* name() { return "Unknown"; }
};

// 特化TypeTag
template<> struct TypeTag<int> { static const char* name() { return "int"; } };
template<> struct TypeTag<double> { static const char* name() { return "double"; } };

// 运行时类型系统
class RuntimeTyped {
public:
    using TypeIndex = size_t;
    
    template<typename T>
    static TypeIndex type_index() {
        static TypeIndex index = next_index++;
        return index;
    }
    
    virtual ~RuntimeTyped() = default;
    virtual TypeIndex get_type_index() const = 0;
    
    // 快速类型检查
    template<typename T>
    bool is() const {
        return get_type_index() == type_index<T>();
    }
    
    // 安全转换
    template<typename T>
    T* cast() {
        return is<T>() ? static_cast<T*>(this) : nullptr;
    }
    
private:
    static inline TypeIndex next_index = 0;
};

// 自动注册类型
#define REGISTER_TYPE(TypeName) \
    static constexpr auto TYPE_INDEX = RuntimeTyped::type_index<TypeName>(); \
    RuntimeTyped::TypeIndex get_type_index() const override { return TYPE_INDEX; }

class GameObject : public RuntimeTyped {
public:
    REGISTER_TYPE(GameObject)
};

class Player : public GameObject {
public:
    REGISTER_TYPE(Player)
    void move() { std::cout << "Player moving" << std::endl; }
};

class Enemy : public GameObject {
public:
    REGISTER_TYPE(Enemy)
    void attack() { std::cout << "Enemy attacking" << std::endl; }
};

void test_template_rtti() {
    GameObject* obj = new Player();
    
    // 快速类型检查
    if (obj->is<Player>()) {
        std::cout << "Object is a Player" << std::endl;
    }
    
    // 安全转换
    if (auto* player = obj->cast<Player>()) {
        player->move();
    }
    
    // 不会崩溃的转换
    if (auto* enemy = obj->cast<Enemy>()) {
        enemy->attack();  // 不会执行
    }
    
    delete obj;
}

5. 性能优化技巧

5.1 缓存dynamic_cast结果

#include <memory>
#include <unordered_map>

// 可缓存转换的基类
class CacheableCast {
    // 使用void*作为键,存储转换结果
    mutable std::unordered_map<size_t, void*> cast_cache;
    
protected:
    template<typename Target>
    Target* cached_cast() const {
        // 使用typeid的hash_code作为键
        size_t type_hash = typeid(Target).hash_code();
        
        auto it = cast_cache.find(type_hash);
        if (it != cast_cache.end()) {
            return static_cast<Target*>(it->second);
        }
        
        // 执行dynamic_cast
        Target* result = dynamic_cast<Target*>(const_cast<CacheableCast*>(this));
        
        // 缓存结果(包括nullptr)
        cast_cache[type_hash] = result;
        return result;
    }
    
public:
    virtual ~CacheableCast() = default;
    
    // 清空缓存(当对象状态变化时)
    void clear_cast_cache() {
        cast_cache.clear();
    }
};

class Shape : public CacheableCast {
public:
    virtual double area() const = 0;
};

class Circle : public Shape {
    double radius;
public:
    Circle(double r) : radius(r) {}
    double area() const override { return 3.14159 * radius * radius; }
    void draw_circle() { std::cout << "Drawing circle" << std::endl; }
};

class Square : public Shape {
    double side;
public:
    Square(double s) : side(s) {}
    double area() const override { return side * side; }
    void draw_square() { std::cout << "Drawing square" << std::endl; }
};

void test_cached_cast() {
    std::unique_ptr<Shape> shape = std::make_unique<Circle>(5.0);
    
    // 第一次转换:执行dynamic_cast
    auto start1 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) {
        if (auto* circle = shape->cached_cast<Circle>()) {
            circle->draw_circle();
        }
    }
    auto end1 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    
    // 第二次转换:使用缓存
    auto start2 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) {
        if (auto* circle = shape->cached_cast<Circle>()) {
            circle->draw_circle();
        }
    }
    auto end2 = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    
    auto time1 = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end1 - start1);
    auto time2 = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(end2 - start2);
    
    std::cout << "First cast (uncached): " << time1.count() << "ms" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Subsequent casts (cached): " << time2.count() << "ms" << std::endl;
}

5.2 使用类型标签和虚函数

// 类型标签技术
class Widget {
public:
    struct TypeTag {
        virtual ~TypeTag() = default;
        virtual bool can_cast_to(const TypeTag& other) const = 0;
    };
    
private:
    template<typename T>
    struct ConcreteTypeTag : TypeTag {
        bool can_cast_to(const TypeTag& other) const override {
            // 简化实现:假设类型系统已知
            return dynamic_cast<const ConcreteTypeTag<T>*>(&other) != nullptr;
        }
    };
    
    const TypeTag& get_type_tag() const {
        static ConcreteTypeTag<Widget> tag;
        return tag;
    }
    
public:
    virtual ~Widget() = default;
    
    template<typename T>
    bool is() const {
        static ConcreteTypeTag<T> target_tag;
        return get_type_tag().can_cast_to(target_tag);
    }
    
    template<typename T>
    T* as() {
        return is<T>() ? static_cast<T*>(this) : nullptr;
    }
};

class Button : public Widget {
private:
    const TypeTag& get_type_tag() const override {
        static ConcreteTypeTag<Button> tag;
        return tag;
    }
    
public:
    void click() { std::cout << "Button clicked" << std::endl; }
};

class TextBox : public Widget {
private:
    const TypeTag& get_type_tag() const override {
        static ConcreteTypeTag<TextBox> tag;
        return tag;
    }
    
public:
    void type_text(const std::string& text) { 
        std::cout << "Typing: " << text << std::endl; 
    }
};

void test_type_tags() {
    Widget* widget = new Button();
    
    if (widget->is<Button>()) {
        if (auto* button = widget->as<Button>()) {
            button->click();
        }
    }
    
    delete widget;
}

6. 设计模式替代方案

6.1 访问者模式(Visitor Pattern)

#include <variant>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

// 使用访问者模式避免dynamic_cast
class ShapeVisitor;

class Shape {
public:
    virtual ~Shape() = default;
    virtual void accept(ShapeVisitor& visitor) = 0;
    virtual double area() const = 0;
};

class Circle;
class Square;
class Triangle;

class ShapeVisitor {
public:
    virtual ~ShapeVisitor() = default;
    virtual void visit(Circle& circle) = 0;
    virtual void visit(Square& square) = 0;
    virtual void visit(Triangle& triangle) = 0;
};

class Circle : public Shape {
    double radius;
public:
    Circle(double r) : radius(r) {}
    double area() const override { return 3.14159 * radius * radius; }
    void accept(ShapeVisitor& visitor) override { visitor.visit(*this); }
    double get_radius() const { return radius; }
};

class Square : public Shape {
    double side;
public:
    Square(double s) : side(s) {}
    double area() const override { return side * side; }
    void accept(ShapeVisitor& visitor) override { visitor.visit(*this); }
    double get_side() const { return side; }
};

class Triangle : public Shape {
    double base, height;
public:
    Triangle(double b, double h) : base(b), height(h) {}
    double area() const override { return 0.5 * base * height; }
    void accept(ShapeVisitor& visitor) override { visitor.visit(*this); }
    double get_base() const { return base; }
    double get_height() const { return height; }
};

// 具体访问者
class DrawVisitor : public ShapeVisitor {
public:
    void visit(Circle& circle) override {
        std::cout << "Drawing circle with radius " << circle.get_radius() << std::endl;
    }
    
    void visit(Square& square) override {
        std::cout << "Drawing square with side " << square.get_side() << std::endl;
    }
    
    void visit(Triangle& triangle) override {
        std::cout << "Drawing triangle with base " << triangle.get_base() 
                  << " and height " << triangle.get_height() << std::endl;
    }
};

class AreaCalculator : public ShapeVisitor {
    double total_area = 0;
public:
    void visit(Circle& circle) override {
        total_area += circle.area();
    }
    
    void visit(Square& square) override {
        total_area += square.area();
    }
    
    void visit(Triangle& triangle) override {
        total_area += triangle.area();
    }
    
    double get_total_area() const { return total_area; }
};

void test_visitor_pattern() {
    std::vector<std::unique_ptr<Shape>> shapes;
    shapes.push_back(std::make_unique<Circle>(5.0));
    shapes.push_back(std::make_unique<Square>(4.0));
    shapes.push_back(std::make_unique<Triangle>(3.0, 6.0));
    
    DrawVisitor drawer;
    AreaCalculator calculator;
    
    for (auto& shape : shapes) {
        shape->accept(drawer);
        shape->accept(calculator);
    }
    
    std::cout << "Total area: " << calculator.get_total_area() << std::endl;
}

6.2 std::variant替代方案(C++17)

#include <variant>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

// 使用std::variant代替继承层次
struct Circle { double radius; };
struct Square { double side; };
struct Triangle { double base, height; };

using ShapeVariant = std::variant<Circle, Square, Triangle>;

// 访问者函数对象
struct AreaCalculator {
    double operator()(const Circle& c) const {
        return 3.14159 * c.radius * c.radius;
    }
    
    double operator()(const Square& s) const {
        return s.side * s.side;
    }
    
    double operator()(const Triangle& t) const {
        return 0.5 * t.base * t.height;
    }
};

struct Drawer {
    void operator()(const Circle& c) const {
        std::cout << "Drawing circle with radius " << c.radius << std::endl;
    }
    
    void operator()(const Square& s) const {
        std::cout << "Drawing square with side " << s.side << std::endl;
    }
    
    void operator()(const Triangle& t) const {

    }
};

void test_variant_pattern() {
    std::vector<ShapeVariant> shapes;
    shapes.emplace_back(Circle{5.0});

            std::cout << "Found a square: " << square->side << std::endl;
        }
    }
}

7. 选择性启用RTTI的混合方案

7.1 编译时切换RTTI

// config.h - 配置文件
#pragma once

// 定义是否启用RTTI
#ifndef USE_RTTI
#define USE_RTTI 1  // 默认启用
#endif

// polymorphic_base.h
#pragma once

#include "config.h"

#if USE_RTTI
#include <typeinfo>
#endif

class PolymorphicBase {
public:
    virtual ~PolymorphicBase() = default;
    
#if USE_RTTI
    // 使用标准RTTI
    virtual const std::type_info& type_info() const {
        return typeid(*this);
    }
    
    template<typename T>
    T* dynamic_cast_to() {
        return dynamic_cast<T*>(this);
    }
#else
    // 使用自定义RTTI
    virtual const char* type_name() const = 0;
    
    template<typename T>
    T* dynamic_cast_to() {
        // 基于自定义类型系统的实现
        return nullptr;  // 简化实现
    }
#endif
    
    // 通用的类型检查
    template<typename T>
    bool is() const {
#if USE_RTTI
        return typeid(T) == type_info();
#else
        // 基于自定义类型系统的实现
        return false;  // 简化实现
#endif
    }
};

// 具体类
class ConcreteA : public PolymorphicBase {
public:
#if USE_RTTI
    const std::type_info& type_info() const override {
        return typeid(*this);
    }
#else
    const char* type_name() const override {
        return "ConcreteA";
    }
#endif
    
    void method_a() { std::cout << "Method A" << std::endl; }
};

// 使用宏简化实现
#if USE_RTTI
#define IMPLEMENT_RTTI(ClassName) \
    const std::type_info& type_info() const override { \
        return typeid(*this); \
    }
#else
#define IMPLEMENT_RTTI(ClassName) \
    const char* type_name() const override { \
        return #ClassName; \
    }
#endif

class ConcreteB : public PolymorphicBase {
public:
    IMPLEMENT_RTTI(ConcreteB)
    
    void method_b() { std::cout << "Method B" << std::endl; }
};

7.2 运行时选择RTTI策略

#include <memory>
#include <functional>

// RTTI策略接口
class RTTIStrategy {
public:
    virtual ~RTTIStrategy() = default;
    virtual const char* get_type_name(const void* obj) const = 0;
    virtual bool can_cast(const void* from, const char* to_type) const = 0;
    virtual void* cast(void* obj, const char* to_type) const = 0;
};

// 标准RTTI策略
class StandardRTTIStrategy : public RTTIStrategy {
public:
    const char* get_type_name(const void* obj) const override {
        const std::type_info& ti = typeid(*static_cast<const std::type_info*>(obj));
        return ti.name();
    }
    
    bool can_cast(const void* from, const char* to_type) const override {
        // 简化实现
        return false;
    }
    
    void* cast(void* obj, const char* to_type) const override {
        // 简化实现
        return nullptr;
    }
};

// 自定义RTTI策略
class CustomRTTIStrategy : public RTTIStrategy {
public:
    const char* get_type_name(const void* obj) const override {
        return "CustomType";
    }
    
    bool can_cast(const void* from, const char* to_type) const override {
        return false;
    }
    
    void* cast(void* obj, const char* to_type) const override {
        return nullptr;
    }
};

// 可配置RTTI的基类
class ConfigurableRTTIObject {
    static inline std::unique_ptr<RTTIStrategy> strategy = 
        std::make_unique<StandardRTTIStrategy>();  // 默认策略
    
public:
    static void set_strategy(std::unique_ptr<RTTIStrategy> new_strategy) {
        strategy = std::move(new_strategy);
    }
    
    virtual ~ConfigurableRTTIObject() = default;
    
    const char* get_type_name() const {
        return strategy->get_type_name(this);
    }
    
    template<typename T>
    T* cast_to() {
        return static_cast<T*>(strategy->cast(this, typeid(T).name()));
    }
    
    template<typename T>
    bool is() const {
        return strategy->can_cast(this, typeid(T).name());
    }
};

8. 最佳实践总结

8.1 RTTI使用指南

// 规则1:仅在必要时使用RTTI
class WhenToUseRTTI {
public:
    // 坏例子:过度使用RTTI
    void process_bad(Base* obj) {
        if (auto* a = dynamic_cast<DerivedA*>(obj)) {
            a->method_a();
        } else if (auto* b = dynamic_cast<DerivedB*>(obj)) {
            b->method_b();
        } else if (auto* c = dynamic_cast<DerivedC*>(obj)) {
            c->method_c();
        }
        // 应该使用虚函数
    }
    
    // 好例子:使用虚函数
    virtual void process() = 0;
    
    // 合理使用RTTI的场景:
    // 1. 序列化/反序列化
    template<typename Archive>
    void serialize(Archive& ar) {
        ar(typeid(*this).name());  // 保存类型信息
    }
    
    // 2. 调试和日志
    void log_state() {
        std::cout << "Object type: " << typeid(*this).name() << std::endl;
    }
    
    // 3. 工厂模式创建对象
    static Base* create(const std::string& type_name) {
        if (type_name == typeid(DerivedA).name()) return new DerivedA();
        if (type_name == typeid(DerivedB).name()) return new DerivedB();
        return nullptr;
    }
};

// 规则2:优先使用编译时多态
template<typename T>
void process_template(T& obj) {
    // 编译时确定类型,无运行时开销
    obj.process();
}

// 规则3:使用访问者模式处理复杂类型分发
class EfficientTypeHandling {
    // 使用访问者模式或std::variant
    // 避免使用dynamic_cast链
};

// 规则4:为性能关键代码禁用RTTI
#ifdef PERFORMANCE_CRITICAL
    #define NO_RTTI __attribute__((visibility("hidden")))
#else
    #define NO_RTTI
#endif

class PerformanceClass NO_RTTI {
    // 这个类不使用RTTI
};

// 规则5:缓存RTTI结果
class CachedTypeInfo {
    mutable const std::type_info* cached_type = nullptr;
    
    const std::type_info& get_type() const {
        if (!cached_type) {
            cached_type = &typeid(*this);
        }
        return *cached_type;
    }
};

8.3 性能优化检查表

// RTTI性能优化检查表
class RTTIOptimizationChecklist {
public:
    void check_and_optimize() {
        // 1. 避免在热路径中使用dynamic_cast
        // 2. 缓存typeid结果
        // 3. 使用虚函数代替类型检查
        // 4. 考虑使用访问者模式
        // 5. 评估std::variant的适用性
        // 6. 实现自定义类型系统(如果需要)
        // 7. 禁用不需要的RTTI
        // 8. 使用编译时多态(模板)替代运行时多态
        // 9. 批量处理类型检查
        // 10. 使用类型标签技术
    }
    
    // 示例:批量类型检查优化
    template<typename Container>
    void process_by_type(const Container& objects) {
        // 按类型分组处理
        std::vector<DerivedA*> type_a_objects;
        std::vector<DerivedB*> type_b_objects;
        
        // 一次性收集所有对象
        for (auto* obj : objects) {
            if (auto* a = dynamic_cast<DerivedA*>(obj)) {
                type_a_objects.push_back(a);
            } else if (auto* b = dynamic_cast<DerivedB*>(obj)) {
                type_b_objects.push_back(b);
            }
        }
        
        // 批量处理同一类型的对象
        for (auto* a : type_a_objects) a->process_a();
        for (auto* b : type_b_objects) b->process_b();
    }
};

通过理解RTTI的开销并采用适当的技术和设计模式,可以在保持代码灵活性的同时最大化性能。关键在于根据具体需求选择合适的类型系统,避免不必要的运行时类型检查。
