USRefl

Ubpa Static Reflection

Header-only, tiny (99 lines) and powerful C++17 static reflection library.

Feature

• header-only, tiny (99 lines) and powerful (USRefl_99.h)
• noninvasive
• basic
  • (non-static / static) member variable
  • (non-static / static) member function
• attribute
• enum
  • string <-> enumerator
  • static dispatch
• template
• inheritance
  • diamond inheritance
  • iterate bases recursively
  • virtual inheritance
• parser

Example

run it online : compiler explorer

#include <USRefl/USRefl.h>
#include <iostream>

struct Point {
  float x;
  float y;
};

template<>
struct Ubpa::USRefl::TypeInfo<Point> : TypeInfoBase<Point> {
#ifdef UBPA_USREFL_NOT_USE_NAMEOF
  static constexpr char name[6] = "Point";
#endif
  static constexpr AttrList attrs = {};
  static constexpr FieldList fields = {
    Field {TSTR("x"), &Type::x},
    Field {TSTR("y"), &Type::y},
  };
};

int main() {
  Point p{ 1.f, 2.f };
  Ubpa::USRefl::TypeInfo<Point>::ForEachVarOf(p, [](auto field, auto&& var) {
    std::cout << field.name << ": " << var << std::endl;
  });
}

result is

x : 1
y : 2

other example

• 99 line: USRefl_99.h, test, online (test all examples below)
• template
• static
• func
• enum
• inheritance
• virtual inheritance
• API: accumulate + mask
• attribute name as type
• AutoRefl : app, example (Vec.h, Vec_AutoRefl.inl (generated by AutoRefl), main.cpp)

Documentation

• Introduction
• parser (TODO)

Integration

You can choose one of the following three methods

• ⭐ method 0: add required file USRefl_99.h
• ⭐ method 1: directly use include/USRefl/
• ⭐ method 2: cmake install, find package(USRefl REQUIRED) to get imported target Ubpa::USRefl_core

Compiler compatibility

• Clang/LLVM >= 6
• GCC >= 7.3
• MSVC++ >= 19.20 / VS 2019 + (not fully support virtual inheritance because of a MSVC++ bug)
