我希望能够自省一个c++类的名称,内容(即成员及其类型)等。这里我说的是原生c++,而不是托管c++,托管c++有反射。我意识到c++使用RTTI提供了一些有限的信息。哪些附加库(或其他技术)可以提供这些信息?
当前回答
c++中还有另一个用于反射的新库,叫做RTTR(运行时类型反射,参见github)。
该接口类似于c#中的反射,并且不需要任何RTTI。
其他回答
编辑:不再维护CAMP;有两个fork可供选择:
其中一个也被称为CAMP,并且基于相同的API。 思考是部分重写,应该优先考虑,因为它不需要Boost;它使用c++ 11。
CAMP是MIT授权的库(以前是LGPL),它向c++语言添加了反射。它在编译中不需要特定的预处理步骤,但是必须手动进行绑定。
目前的Tegesoft库使用Boost,但也有一个使用c++ 11的分支不再需要Boost。
我也想要一匹小马,但小马不是免费的。: - p
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C%2B%2B_Programming/RTTI是你将得到的。像您所考虑的反射——运行时可用的完整描述性元数据——在默认情况下c++中不存在。
这个问题现在有点老了(不知道为什么我今天一直在问老问题),但我在想BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT,它引入了编译时反射。
当然,这取决于你将其映射到运行时反射,这不会太容易,但在这个方向上是可能的,而不是在相反的方向上:)
我真的认为一个宏来封装BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT可以生成必要的方法来获得运行时行为。
I did something like what you're after once, and while it's possible to get some level of reflection and access to higher-level features, the maintenance headache might not be worth it. My system was used to keep the UI classes completely separated from the business logic through delegation akin to Objective-C's concept of message passing and forwarding. The way to do it is to create some base class that is capable of mapping symbols (I used a string pool but you could do it with enums if you prefer speed and compile-time error handling over total flexibility) to function pointers (actually not pure function pointers, but something similar to what Boost has with Boost.Function--which I didn't have access to at the time). You can do the same thing for your member variables as long as you have some common base class capable of representing any value. The entire system was an unabashed ripoff of Key-Value Coding and Delegation, with a few side effects that were perhaps worth the sheer amount of time necessary to get every class that used the system to match all of its methods and members up with legal calls: 1) Any class could call any method on any other class without having to include headers or write fake base classes so the interface could be predefined for the compiler; and 2) The getters and setters of the member variables were easy to make thread-safe because changing or accessing their values was always done through 2 methods in the base class of all objects.
It also led to the possibility of doing some really weird things that otherwise aren't easy in C++. For example I could create an Array object that contained arbitrary items of any type, including itself, and create new arrays dynamically by passing a message to all array items and collecting the return values (similar to map in Lisp). Another was the implementation of key-value observing, whereby I was able to set up the UI to respond immediately to changes in the members of backend classes instead of constantly polling the data or unnecessarily redrawing the display.
也许您更感兴趣的是,您还可以转储为类定义的所有方法和成员,而且是字符串形式。
该系统的缺点可能会让您望而却步:添加所有消息和键值非常繁琐;它比没有反射要慢;你会讨厌看到boost::static_pointer_cast和boost::dynamic_pointer_cast遍布你的代码库;强类型系统的局限性仍然存在,您实际上只是将它们隐藏了一些,所以它不那么明显。字符串中的错别字也不是一个有趣或容易发现的惊喜。
As to how to implement something like this: just use shared and weak pointers to some common base (mine was very imaginatively called "Object") and derive for all the types you want to use. I'd recommend installing Boost.Function instead of doing it the way I did, which was with some custom crap and a ton of ugly macros to wrap the function pointer calls. Since everything is mapped, inspecting objects is just a matter of iterating through all of the keys. Since my classes were essentially as close to a direct ripoff of Cocoa as possible using only C++, if you want something like that then I'd suggest using the Cocoa documentation as a blueprint.
我想你可能会对Dominic Filion写的“在c++中使用反射模板”这篇文章感兴趣。它在Game Programming Gems 5的1.4部分。不幸的是,我没有带我的副本,但你可以找找看,因为我认为它解释了你想要的东西。
