A simple struct reflection framework for C++17.
Several programming languages provide tools and features for a type to be introspected within the code itself, which might be useful in many diverse ways. Unfortunately, C++17 provides very limited interfaces to explore or iterate over the properties of a struct. This library comes in handy to widen the possibilities up when introspecting a type in compile-time.
Please, keep in mind that the "features" exploited by this library to automatically extract the types of a struct may not be well-defined and vary a lot between different compilers versions. Therefore, it is prefereable to use the manually-descripted reflection interface.
This library depends on the supertuple library for creating tuples memory-aligned with raw C++ structs. Besides that, the only other dependency is a C++17-compiler to be installed on your system. As a header-only library, you may as well directly download or copy the files into your own project or clone it following the steps below:
git clone --recursive-submodules https://github.com/rodriados/reflectorTo use the project, you can copy source files into your own project or install it on your system and then reference it in your code:
#include <reflector.hpp>
