当我想要在c++中进行反射时，我读了这篇文章并改进了我在那里看到的东西。对不起，没有罐头。结果不是我的…但你当然可以得到我所拥有的，然后从那里开始。

我目前正在研究，当我喜欢的时候，使用inherit_linear的方法使可反射类型的定义更容易。实际上我已经学了很多，但还有一段路要走。c++ 0x中的变化很可能在这方面有很大的帮助。

我想没有人提到这一点:

在CERN，他们使用c++的全反射系统:

欧洲核子研究中心的反射。看起来效果很好。

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。

看起来c++仍然没有这个特性。 c++ 11也有延迟反射(

搜索一些宏或者自己制作。Qt还可以帮助进行反射(如果可以使用的话)。

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.

你想用反射做什么? 可以使用Boost类型特征和typeof库作为编译时反射的有限形式。也就是说，您可以检查和修改传递给模板的类型的基本属性。
