Portable reflection for C++ with the Mirror library
Reflection and reflective programming can be used for a wide range of tasks such as implementation<br />of serialization-like operations, remote procedure calls, scripting, automated GUIgeneration,<br />implementation of several software design patterns, etc. C++ as one of the most<br...

| description | Reflection and reflective programming can be used for a wide range of tasks such as implementation<br />of serialization-like operations, remote procedure calls, scripting, automated GUIgeneration,<br />implementation of several software design patterns, etc. C++ as one of the most<br />prevalent programming languages however, for various reasons, lacks a standardized reflection<br />facility. In this paper we present Mirror - a portable library adding reflection to C++ with a<br />command-line utility automating its usage. This library supports functional style static compiletime<br />reflection and metaprogramming and also provides two different object-oriented run-time<br />polymorphic layers for dynamic reflection. |
