在面向?qū)ο蟮南到y(tǒng)中，我們經(jīng)常會遇到一類具有“容器”特征的對象，即它們在充當(dāng)對象的同時，又是其他對象的容器。
舉例：
在操作系統(tǒng)中，文件的概念很廣泛，其中文件可以是普通文件，也可以是目錄(在Unix中，設(shè)備也是文件)，目錄中可以存放文件。Composite設(shè)計模式就是將“客戶代碼與復(fù)雜的對象容器結(jié)構(gòu)”解耦，讓對象容器自己來實(shí)現(xiàn)自身的復(fù)雜結(jié)構(gòu)，從而使得客戶代碼就像處理簡單對象(文件)一樣來處理復(fù)雜的對象容器(目錄)。
“Compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly.” – GoF
調(diào)用Directory類對象的process函數(shù)，和調(diào)用PhysicalFile類對象的process一樣簡單。
從上面的UML類圖中，可以看出Directory和File這兩個類之間的關(guān)系：
1. Directory “is a”File
2. Directory “has a(more)” File
這是典型的遞歸結(jié)構(gòu)。因此在處理遞歸問題時，如果必要，可以考慮采用Composite模式。后面要講到的Decorator模式也是如此。
// Composite.h
#include <iostream>
#include <list>
using namespace std;
class File
{
public:
virtual void process() = 0;
// 虛函數(shù)：增加一個文件
virtual void add(File* file)
{
}
// 虛函數(shù)：刪除一個文件
virtual void remove(File* file)
{
}
public:
virtual ~File()
{
cout << "in the destructor of File..." << endl;
}
};
// 葉子節(jié)點(diǎn)
class PhysicalFile : public File
{
public:
void process()
{
cout << "process() in PhysicalFile..." << endl;
}
public:
~PhysicalFile()
{
cout << "in the destructor of PhysicalFile..." << endl;
}
};
// 容器節(jié)點(diǎn)：Composite節(jié)點(diǎn)
class Directory : public File
{
private:
list<File*> file_list;
public:
Directory()
{
}
void process()
{
cout << "process() in Directory..." << endl;
if(!file_list.empty())
{
for(list<File*>::iterator it = file_list.begin(); it != file_list.end(); it++)
{
File* f = *it;
f->process();
}
}
}
void add(File* file)
{
file_list.push_back(file);
}
void remove(File* file)
{
file_list.remove(file);
}
public:
~Directory()
{
cout << "in the destructor of Directory..." << endl;
}
};
// Composite.cpp
#include "Composite.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
File *f1 = new Directory;
File *f2 = new Directory;
File *f3 = new PhysicalFile;
f2->add(f3);
f1->add(f2);
File *f4 = new Directory;
File *f5 = new Directory;
File *f6 = new Directory;
File *f7 = new PhysicalFile;
f6->add(f7);
f5->add(f6);
f4->add(f5);
f1->add(f4);
f1->process();
f1->remove(f4);
cout << "+++++++++++++++++++++++" << endl;
f1->process();
// STL container中的元素是指針對象，那么必須手動刪除。
delete f1;
delete f2;
delete f3;
delete f4;
delete f5;
delete f6;
delete f7;
return 0;
}
上述程序中，各對象之間的關(guān)系如下圖：
其中f3和f7為PhysicalFile對象。f1包含了f2和f4，f2包含了f3，f4包含了f5，f5包含了f6，f6包含了f7。
運(yùn)行結(jié)果如下：
process() in Directory... // f1
process() in Directory... // f2
process() in PhysicalFile... // f3
process() in Directory... // f4
process() in Directory... // f5
process() in Directory... // f6
process() in PhysicalFile... // f7
+++++++++++++++++++++++ // 刪除f4后的輸出(可以看到f4及其包含的對象全部被刪除了)
process() in Directory... // f1
process() in Directory... // f2
process() in PhysicalFile... // f3
