原理#
求一个数的绝对值就是将负数转为正数，只需要求其补码即可（反码加一）
代码#
template <typename T, class = typename std::enable_if_t<!std::is_unsigned_v<T>>>
inline typename std::make_unsigned_t<T> mabs(T _val) {
const T mask = _val >> (sizeof(T) * 8 - 1);
return (_val ^ mask) - mask;
}
原理剖析#
以 -12 为例：-12 的补码为 10100（这里假设机器字长为 5 位）
步骤如下：
-
先获取掩码
mask:const T mask = _val >> (sizeof(T) * 8 - 1);10100 左移 4 位得到 11111，注意这里的 11111，是一个非常精巧的设计。
为什么我们是选择右移获取掩码，而不是直接右移四位然后 & 上 0x1 得到符号位，原因在于：11111 这个掩码实际上全部都是由符号位组成，如果符号位是 1，那么生成的掩码可以直接与原来的数据进行异或运算得到反码，然后加 1 就得到了补码。
如果符号位为 0，那么得到的掩码则为全 0，0 异或任何数等于它本身。
-
求反码：
_val ^= mask;如上一个步骤所示，10100 异或上 11111 等于 01011，即求得反码
而如果在这里是一个正数，掩码就是 00000，异或之后不变
-
加 1:
_val - mask;01011 - 11111 = 01100 得到 -12 的绝对值 12
为什么这里的加一变成了减 mask？其实很简单，之前我们求得的 mask 为 11111，这个其实就是 -1 的补码，加 1 只要减去 mask 即可。
而如果这里是一个正数，掩码就是 00000，减 0 不会产生影响。
如此一来，我们就实现了绝对值求解的算法，负数进入之后就会转为正数，正数进入之后不发生变动，是不是很简单？

return (_val + mask) ^ mask;
