refl-cpp

Examples

• Implement a simple serialization system - example-serialization.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Implements an efficient generic serialization procedure from scratch

• Simple SQL database abstraction - example-dao.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Implements a basic ORM system which can generate SQL statements at compile-time from model classes using custom properties

• Iterate base classes with bases<> - example-inheritance.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Uses the built-in bases<> attribute to iterate over a type's base classes

• Access reflection information at runtime - example-custom-rtti.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Implements a basic runtime abstraction over refl-cpp which provides access to the reflection metadata at runtime via custom metadata objects

• XML-based GUI with strongly-types properties - example-binding.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Implements a system for reading XML resources with refl-cpp, by building a custom runtime reflection layer on top of refl-cpp

• Implement a generic builder class factory - example-builders.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Defines a generic builder<T> class, which implements the builder pattern for any type T.

• Convert fields to accessor methods - example-proxy.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Uses the proxy feature to create a generic type value_proxy<T> which exposes all fields of T through accessors methods

• View an array of structs as a struct of arrays - example-struct-of-arrays.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Uses the proxy feature to create a generic type struct_of_arrays<T> which stores all members of T in std::vector, but also has an T operator[](int) which constructs the individual objects on-demand

• Generate a struct of std::optional members - example-partials.cpp - View in Compiler Explorer Uses the proxy feature to create a generic type partial<T> which wraps all members of T in std::optional
