查看Classdesc http://classdesc.sf.net。它以类“描述符”的形式提供了反射，可以与任何标准c++编译器一起工作(是的，它可以与Visual Studio和GCC一起工作)，并且不需要源代码注释(尽管存在一些处理棘手情况的pragmas)。它已经开发了十多年，并在一些工业规模的项目中使用。

在我的c++生涯中，我知道的两个类似反射的解决方案是:

1)使用RTTI，如果你能够从一个“对象”基类派生所有的类，它将为你提供一个引导来构建类似反射的行为。该类可以提供一些方法，如GetMethod, GetBaseClass等。至于这些方法是如何工作的，你需要手动添加一些宏来装饰你的类型，这些宏在幕后创建类型的元数据，为GetMethods等提供答案。

2)如果你可以访问编译器对象，另一个选择是使用DIA SDK。如果我没记错的话，这允许您打开pdbs，其中应该包含c++类型的元数据。也许足够做你想做的事了。例如，本页展示了如何获取类的所有基类型。

这两种解决方案都有点难看!没有什么比c++更能让你欣赏c#的奢华了。

祝你好运。

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。

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.

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。

这些信息确实存在——但不是你需要的格式，而且只有当你导出你的类时。这适用于Windows，我不知道其他平台。使用存储类说明符，例如:

class __declspec(export) MyClass
{
public:
    void Foo(float x);
}

这使得编译器将类定义数据构建到DLL/Exe中。但它不是一种可以用于反射的格式。

在我的公司，我们建立了一个解释元数据的库，允许你在不插入额外的宏等到类本身的情况下反映一个类。它允许如下方式调用函数:

MyClass *instance_ptr=new MyClass;
GetClass("MyClass")->GetFunction("Foo")->Invoke(instance_ptr,1.331);

这有效地做到:

instance_ptr->Foo(1.331);

Invoke(this_pointer，…)函数有可变参数。显然，通过这样调用函数，你可以绕过诸如const-safety之类的东西，所以这些方面是作为运行时检查实现的。

我相信语法可以改进，到目前为止它只适用于Win32和Win64。我们发现它非常有用，可以为类提供自动GUI接口，在c++中创建属性，流到XML和从XML输出等等，而且不需要从特定的基类派生。如果有足够的需求，也许我们可以把它做成样子发布。
