我写了一个库来解决这个问题，所有的事情都发生在编译时，除了获取消息。

用法:

使用宏DEF_MSG定义宏和消息对:

DEF_MSG(CODE_OK,   "OK!")
DEF_MSG(CODE_FAIL, "Fail!")

CODE_OK是要使用的宏，“OK!”是相应的消息。

使用get_message()或gm()来获取消息:

get_message(CODE_FAIL);  // will return "Fail!"
gm(CODE_FAIL);           // works exactly the same as above

使用MSG_NUM查找已经定义了多少个宏。它会自动增加，你不需要做任何事情。

预定义的消息:

MSG_OK:     OK
MSG_BOTTOM: Message bottom

项目:libcodemsg

标准库不会创建额外的数据。一切都发生在编译时。在message_def.h中，它生成一个名为MSG_CODE的enum;在message_def.c中，它生成一个变量，保存静态const char* _g_messages[]中的所有字符串。

在这种情况下，库只能创建一个枚举。这对于返回值非常理想，例如:

MSG_CODE foo(void) {
    return MSG_OK; // or something else
}

MSG_CODE ret = foo();

if (MSG_OK != ret) {
    printf("%s\n", gm(ret););
}

我喜欢这种设计的另一个原因是，您可以在不同的文件中管理消息定义。

我发现这个问题的解看起来好多了。

您可以使用select()函数，这实际上只是一个简短的开关;这不是真正意义上的解决方案，但它让生活更容易:

enum
{
  NORMAL,
  INVALID
} state(NORMAL);

//std::cout << (state ? "INVALID" : "NORMAL") << std::endl;
std::cout << select(state, "NORMAL", "INVALID") << std::endl;

select()函数在SIMD/GPU编程中很常见。它们是三元?:运算符的推广。还可以将select()视为函数数组(实现数组数据结构的函数)。

这里有一个完整的例子。

我的解决方案是不使用宏。

优点:

你知道你在做什么 访问是通过哈希映射进行的，因此适用于许多有值枚举 不需要考虑顺序值或非连续值 既enum到字符串和字符串到enum转换，而添加的enum值必须添加在一个额外的地方

缺点:

您需要将所有枚举值复制为文本 哈希映射中的访问必须考虑字符串大小写 维护如果添加值是痛苦的-必须添加在enum和直接翻译映射

所以…直到c++实现c# Enum。解析功能，我将坚持这个:

            #include <unordered_map>

            enum class Language
            { unknown, 
                Chinese, 
                English, 
                French, 
                German
                // etc etc
            };

            class Enumerations
            {
            public:
                static void fnInit(void);

                static std::unordered_map <std::wstring, Language> m_Language;
                static std::unordered_map <Language, std::wstring> m_invLanguage;

            private:
                static void fnClear();
                static void fnSetValues(void);
                static void fnInvertValues(void);

                static bool m_init_done;
            };

            std::unordered_map <std::wstring, Language> Enumerations::m_Language = std::unordered_map <std::wstring, Language>();
            std::unordered_map <Language, std::wstring> Enumerations::m_invLanguage = std::unordered_map <Language, std::wstring>();

            void Enumerations::fnInit()
            {
                fnClear();
                fnSetValues();
                fnInvertValues();
            }

            void Enumerations::fnClear()
            {
                m_Language.clear();
                m_invLanguage.clear();
            }

            void Enumerations::fnSetValues(void)
            {   
                m_Language[L"unknown"] = Language::unknown;
                m_Language[L"Chinese"] = Language::Chinese;
                m_Language[L"English"] = Language::English;
                m_Language[L"French"] = Language::French;
                m_Language[L"German"] = Language::German;
                // and more etc etc
            }

            void Enumerations::fnInvertValues(void)
            {
                for (auto it = m_Language.begin(); it != m_Language.end(); it++)
                {
                    m_invLanguage[it->second] = it->first;
                }
            }

            // usage -
            //Language aLanguage = Language::English;
            //wstring sLanguage = Enumerations::m_invLanguage[aLanguage];

            //wstring sLanguage = L"French" ;
            //Language aLanguage = Enumerations::m_Language[sLanguage];

在类/struct (struct默认为public成员)和重载操作符中使用enum的解决方案:

struct Color
{
    enum Enum { RED, GREEN, BLUE };
    Enum e;

    Color() {}
    Color(Enum e) : e(e) {}

    Color operator=(Enum o) { e = o; return *this; }
    Color operator=(Color o) { e = o.e; return *this; }
    bool operator==(Enum o) { return e == o; }
    bool operator==(Color o) { return e == o.e; }
    operator Enum() const { return e; }

    std::string toString() const
    {
        switch (e)
        {
        case Color::RED:
            return "red";
        case Color::GREEN:
            return "green";
        case Color::BLUE:
            return "blue";
        default:
            return "unknown";
        }
    }
};

从外部看，它几乎完全像一个类枚举:

Color red;
red = Color::RED;
Color blue = Color::BLUE;

cout << red.toString() << " " << Color::GREEN << " " << blue << endl;

这将输出“red 12”。你可以重载<<使蓝色输出成为一个字符串(尽管这可能会导致歧义，所以不可能)，但它不会与Color::GREEN一起工作，因为它不会自动转换为Color。

隐式转换为Enum(隐式转换为int或给定类型)的目的是能够做到:

Color color;
switch (color) ...

这是可行的，但这也意味着这也是可行的:

int i = color;

对于枚举类，它不会编译。 如果重载两个函数，接受枚举和整数，或者删除隐式转换…

另一个解决方案将涉及使用实际的枚举类和静态成员:

struct Color
{
    enum class Enum { RED, GREEN, BLUE };
    static const Enum RED = Enum::RED, GREEN = Enum::GREEN, BLUE = Enum::BLUE;

    //same as previous...
};

它可能会占用更多的空间，并且花费更长的时间，但会导致隐式int转换的编译错误。我就会用这个!

虽然这样做肯定有开销，但我认为它比我见过的其他代码更简单，看起来更好。还可以添加功能，这些功能都可以在类中进行范围限定。

编辑:这是有效的，大多数可以在执行前编译:

class Color
{
public:
    enum class Enum { RED, GREEN, BLUE };
    static const Enum RED = Enum::RED, GREEN = Enum::GREEN, BLUE = Enum::BLUE;

    constexpr Color() : e(Enum::RED) {}
    constexpr Color(Enum e) : e(e) {}

    constexpr bool operator==(Enum o) const { return e == o; }
    constexpr bool operator==(Color o) const { return e == o.e; }
    constexpr operator Enum() const { return e; }

    Color& operator=(Enum o) { const_cast<Enum>(this->e) = o; return *this; }
    Color& operator=(Color o) { const_cast<Enum>(this->e) = o.e; return *this; }

    std::string toString() const
    {
        switch (e)
        {
        case Enum::RED:
            return "red";
        case Enum::GREEN:
            return "green";
        case Enum::BLUE:
            return "blue";
        default:
            return "unknown";
        }
    }
private:
    const Enum e;
};

(better_enum库的方法)

在当前的c++中，有一种方法是这样做的:

ENUM(Channel, char, Red = 1, Green, Blue)

// "Same as":
// enum class Channel : char { Red = 1, Green, Blue };

用法:

Channel     c = Channel::_from_string("Green");  // Channel::Green (2)
c._to_string();                                  // string "Green"

for (Channel c : Channel::_values())
    std::cout << c << std::endl;

// And so on...

所有操作都可以写成constexpr。你也可以实现@ecatmur回答中提到的c++ 17反射提议。

There is only one macro. I believe this is the minimum possible, because preprocessor stringization (#) is the only way to convert a token to a string in current C++. The macro is pretty unobtrusive – the constant declarations, including initializers, are pasted into a built-in enum declaration. This means they have the same syntax and meaning as in a built-in enum. Repetition is eliminated. The implementation is most natural and useful in at least C++11, due to constexpr. It can also be made to work with C++98 + __VA_ARGS__. It is definitely modern C++.

宏的定义有些复杂，所以我将从几个方面回答这个问题。

The bulk of this answer is an implementation that I think is suitable for the space constraints on StackOverflow. There is also a CodeProject article describing the basics of the implementation in a long-form tutorial. [Should I move it here? I think it's too much for a SO answer]. There is a full-featured library "Better Enums" that implements the macro in a single header file. It also implements N4428 Type Property Queries, the current revision of the C++17 reflection proposal N4113. So, at least for enums declared through this macro, you can have the proposed C++17 enum reflection now, in C++11/C++14.

将这个答案扩展到库的特性是很简单的——这里没有遗漏任何“重要”的东西。然而，这是相当乏味的，并且存在编译器可移植性问题。

免责声明:我是CodeProject文章和该库的作者。

您可以尝试这个答案中的代码、库以及在Wandbox中在线实现N4428。标准库文档还包含如何将其作为N4428使用的概述，其中解释了该建议的enumums部分。

解释

下面的代码实现了枚举和字符串之间的转换。然而，它也可以扩展到做其他事情，比如迭代。此答案将枚举包装在结构体中。你也可以在枚举旁边生成一个trait结构体。

策略是生成如下内容:

struct Channel {
    enum _enum : char { __VA_ARGS__ };
    constexpr static const Channel          _values[] = { __VA_ARGS__ };
    constexpr static const char * const     _names[] = { #__VA_ARGS__ };

    static const char* _to_string(Channel v) { /* easy */ }
    constexpr static Channel _from_string(const char *s) { /* easy */ }
};

问题是:

We will end up with something like {Red = 1, Green, Blue} as the initializer for the values array. This is not valid C++, because Red is not an assignable expression. This is solved by casting each constant to a type T that has an assignment operator, but will drop the assignment: {(T)Red = 1, (T)Green, (T)Blue}. Similarly, we will end up with {"Red = 1", "Green", "Blue"} as the initializer for the names array. We will need to trim off the " = 1". I am not aware of a great way to do this at compile time, so we will defer this to run time. As a result, _to_string won't be constexpr, but _from_string can still be constexpr, because we can treat whitespace and equals signs as terminators when comparing with untrimmed strings. Both the above need a "mapping" macro that can apply another macro to each element in __VA_ARGS__. This is pretty standard. This answer includes a simple version that can handle up to 8 elements. If the macro is to be truly self-contained, it needs to declare no static data that requires a separate definition. In practice, this means arrays need special treatment. There are two possible solutions: constexpr (or just const) arrays at namespace scope, or regular arrays in non-constexpr static inline functions. The code in this answer is for C++11 and takes the former approach. The CodeProject article is for C++98 and takes the latter.

}



// The macro proper.
//
// There are several "simplifications" in this implementation, for the
// sake of brevity. First, we have only one viable option for declaring
// constexpr arrays: at namespace scope. This probably should be done
// two namespaces deep: one namespace that is likely to be unique for
// our little enum "library", then inside it a namespace whose name is
// based on the name of the enum to avoid collisions with other enums.
// I am using only one level of nesting.
//
// Declaring constexpr arrays inside the struct is not viable because
// they will need out-of-line definitions, which will result in
// duplicate symbols when linking. This can be solved with weak
// symbols, but that is compiler- and system-specific. It is not
// possible to declare constexpr arrays as static variables in
// constexpr functions due to the restrictions on such functions.
//
// Note that this prevents the use of this macro anywhere except at
// namespace scope. Ironically, the C++98 version of this, which can
// declare static arrays inside static member functions, is actually
// more flexible in this regard. It is shown in the CodeProject
// article.
//
// Second, for compilation performance reasons, it is best to separate
// the macro into a "parametric" portion, and the portion that depends
// on knowing __VA_ARGS__, and factor the former out into a template.
//
// Third, this code uses a default parameter in _from_string that may
// be better not exposed in the public interface.

如您所料，上面的程序输出红色。这里有一定程度的类型安全，因为您不能在没有初始化的情况下创建枚举，并且从开关中删除其中一个情况将导致编译器发出警告(取决于您的编译器和标志)。另外，请注意“Red”在编译过程中被转换为枚举。
