创建基类对象的向量并在其中存储派生类对象

我正在尝试创建一个员工数据库（员工向量）。有 3 种类型的员工，即。 Employees 是基类，Manager、Engg 和 Scientist 是派生类。 每个员工都有名字和姓氏。除了名字之外，这 3 种类型的员工中的每一种都有独特的统计数据，即。经理每周有多少次会议，而工程师则有工作经验等等。

我有一些问题 1. 我应该将派生对象向上转换为基类还是将基类向下转换为派生类？ 2.如何使用多态性来重写方法，因为我希望用户添加员工类型，并根据所选类型显示相应的输入字段，即。如果是经理，除了名字和姓氏之外，该计划还应该询问每周举行的会议？

这是我的班级文件

class Employee{
public:
Employee();
 Employee(string fName, string lName, int sal);
virtual void printEmp();
string getFirstName();
string getLastName();

protected:
string m_fName;
string m_lName;
int m_sal;
};


class Manager : public Employee{
public:
Manager();
Manager(string fName, string lName, int sal, int meets, int hols);
void printEmp();


protected:
int m_meets;
int m_hols;
};

这是实现

Employee::Employee(){
m_fName = "Default";
m_lName = "Default";
m_sal = 0;
}


Employee::Employee(string fName, string lName, int sal){
m_fName = fName;
m_lName = lName;
m_sal = sal;
}

void Employee::printEmp(){
cout << "First Name: " << m_fName << endl
    << "Last Name: " << m_lName << endl
    << "Salary: " << m_sal << endl;
}


string Employee::getLastName(){
return m_lName;
}

string Employee::getFirstName(){
return m_fName;
}

Manager::Manager(string fName, string lName, int sal, int meets, int hols) :         Employee(fName, lName, sal), m_meets(meets), m_hols(hols)
{
//empty
}

void Manager::printEmp(){
Employee::printEmp();
cout << "Meets/Week: " << m_meets << endl
    << "Holidays/Year: " << m_hols << endl << endl;

这是主要的

int main(){

    bool exit = false;
    vector<Employee*> dBVector;

    while (!exit){

        cout << "Welcome to Employee Database, Enter an option to continue..." << endl;
        cout << "1) Add an Employee, 2) Delete an Employee, 3) Save Database, 4) Exit" << endl;
        int input;
        cin >> input;

        int i; // for loop in Delete employee case
        bool deleted = false;

        switch (input){
        case 1: //Add
            cout << "1) Add a Manager, 2) Add an Engg, 3) Add a Researcher" << endl;
            int empInput;
            cin >> empInput;



            if (empInput == 1){


                cout << "Enter First Name: ";
                cin >> fNameInp;

                cin >> meetsInp;

                cout << "Number of holidays/year: ";
                int holsInp;
                cin >> holsInp;

                Manager mEmp(fNameInp, lNameInp, salInp, meetsInp, holsInp);
                Employee &emp = mEmp;
                dBVector.push_back(&mEmp);

Please Help!

首先，如果你想使用多态性，你需要在向量中存储指针。由于向量是员工的唯一所有者，例如std::vector<std::unique_ptr<Employee>>会合适的。

编辑：我看到您已经更新了向量以使用指针。但是您正在存储指向本地堆栈分配对象的指针，例如mEmp。这将不起作用，当mEmp变量在右大括号处超出范围，该对象将被删除，并且向量中将留下一个指向已删除对象的悬空指针。使用这个悬空指针是未定义的行为。您需要分配Manager在堆上使用new。这样，当变量超出范围时，该对象将不会被删除，但您确实需要记住在完成后删除该对象。就像是unique_ptr让这变得容易。

关于您的问题：

1. 尽量减少显式强制转换，尤其是向下强制转换。当您存储Employee在向量中，它将从派生类隐式向上转换为Employee但除此之外，没有太多铸造的必要。

2. 当涉及到重写方法时，如果您调用虚拟方法，您大致上有正确的想法printEmp上的方法Employee它将调用派生类中的重写指针。

   如果您愿意将用户输入的责任归为Employee您可以简单地添加一个虚拟方法，使用用户的适当输入来初始化员工。但我很想将其与域对象分开。无论如何，您需要一个有关用户选择员工类型的 switch 语句，因此多态性不会给您带来太多好处。

   如果您确实想使用多态性来创建员工，我建议使用诸如抽象工厂模式之类的东西。

无论如何，这是我的建议：
