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。

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。

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。

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.

尽管在c++中不支持即时可用的反射，但实现它并不太难。 我遇到了这篇很棒的文章: http://replicaisland.blogspot.co.il/2010/11/building-reflective-object-system-in-c.html

本文详细介绍了如何实现一个非常简单的反射系统。当然，这不是最有益的解决办法，还有一些粗糙的地方有待解决，但对我的需要来说，这已经足够了。

底线——如果做得正确，反射是可以得到回报的，而且在c++中是完全可行的。

周围有两种反射。

Inspection by iterating over members of a type, enumerating its methods and so on. This is not possible with C++. Inspection by checking whether a class-type (class, struct, union) has a method or nested type, is derived from another particular type. This kind of thing is possible with C++ using template-tricks. Use boost::type_traits for many things (like checking whether a type is integral). For checking for the existence of a member function, use Templated check for the existence of a class member function? . For checking whether a certain nested type exists, use plain SFINAE .

如果你想要实现1)，比如查看一个类有多少个方法，或者获取一个类id的字符串表示形式，那么恐怕标准c++没有办法做到这一点。你必须使用其中任何一个

一个元编译器，如Qt元对象编译器，它翻译你的代码，添加额外的元信息。 由宏组成的框架，允许您添加所需的元信息。你需要告诉框架所有的方法、类名、基类和它需要的一切。

c++的设计考虑到了速度。如果您想要高级别的检查，就像c#或Java所做的那样，不做一些额外的工作就无法做到这一点。
