mkcreflect

[

A reflection library for C

Features

This library allows you to inspect your data structures at runtime:

• field types
• field names
• size of array fields
• size of field

Documentation

There's only one public macro which you should use:

MKCREFLECT_DEFINE_STRUCT(StructName,
    (DATA_TYPE, FIELD1_NAME, C_TYPE1[, ARRAY_SIZE_1])[,
    (DATA_TYPE, FIELD2_NAME, C_TYPE2[, ARRAY_SIZE_2])[, ...])

• StructName - name of your structure
• (DATA_TYPE, FIELD1_NAME, C_TYPE1[, ARRAY_SIZE_1]) - comma-separated list of fields in the structure
  • DATA_TYPE - type of field (INTEGER, STRING or STRUCT)
  • FIELD_NAME - name of the field
  • C_TYPE - type of the field (e.g. int, uint64, char, etc.)
  • ARRAY_SIZE - size of array, if a field is an array
