Basic Usage

Class reflection

#include <iostream>
#include "reflect.h"

class Base {
public:
  Base() {
    std::cout << "Base" << std::endl;
  }
};

RE_class(Class1, Base)
{
public:
  Class1() {
    std::cout << "Class1" << std::endl;
  }
};

RE_class(Class2, Base)
{
public:
  Class2() {
    std::cout << "Class2" << std::endl;
  }
};

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
  Reflect(Base)["Class1"]->create();
  return 0;
}

And the result:

Base
Class1

Enum reflection

#include <iostream>
#include "reflect-enum.h"

ENUM_CLASS(Test,
  TEST1,
  TEST2,
  TEST3
);

int main()
{
  std::cout << enum_reflection<Test>()->toString(Test::TEST1) << std::endl;

  std::cout << enum_reflection<Test>()->toString(
      enum_reflection<Test>()->fromString("Test::TEST1")
    ) << std::endl;

  std::cout << enum_reflection<Test>()->toString(
      enum_reflection<Test>()->fromString("TEST1")
    ) << std::endl;
}

And the result:

Test::TEST1
Test::TEST1
Test::TEST1

Document

This library is a header-only library, include the header wherever you need.

This library supports multi-object-file projects, but has no effect on the efficiency of that program. Neither does this library need a non-standard preprocessor.

Class reflection

RE_class(ClassName, BaseClass [, tag])

Defined a class to reflect with in TAG. This macro is to replace class ClassName : public BaseClass.

Reflect(BaseClass [, tag])

Return a reference to a map<string, factory>, aka. the reflect map.

tag

A tag is a empty struct that defines a group of reflects, and each group of reflects will not affect others.

Enum reflection

ENUM_CLASS(EnumName, <EnumMenbers>)

Defined a enum class to reflect, for example:

ENUM_CLASS( MyEnum    // enum class MyEnum {
  Member1,            //   Member1,
  Member2             //   Member2
);                    // };

std::string ENUM_REFLECT(EnumName)->toString(EnumValue)

map EnumValue to string

EnumName ENUM_REFLECT(EnumName)->fromString(string)

Reflect from string to EnumValue, Accept EnumMember with or without EnumName

Reflect in namespace

Define REFLECT_NS to your namespace before including reflect-enum.h
