你可以滥用用户定义的文字来达到想要的结果:

enum
{
  AAA = "AAA"_h8,
  BB = "BB"_h8,
};
   
std::cout << h8::to_string(AAA) << std::endl;
std::cout << h8::to_string(BB) << std::endl;

这将一个字符串打包成一个整数，这是可逆的。请看这里的例子。

对于c++ 17 c++ 20，您将对反思研究小组(SG7)的工作感兴趣。还有一系列平行的论文，包括措辞(P0194)和基本原理、设计和进化(P0385)。(链接解析为每个系列的最新论文。)

从P0194r2(2016-10-15)开始，该语法将使用建议的reflexpr关键字:

meta::get_base_name_v<
  meta::get_element_m<
    meta::get_enumerators_m<reflexpr(MyEnum)>,
    0>
  >

例如(改编自Matus Choclik的reflexpr clang分支):

#include <reflexpr>
#include <iostream>

enum MyEnum { AAA = 1, BBB, CCC = 99 };

int main()
{
  auto name_of_MyEnum_0 = 
    std::meta::get_base_name_v<
      std::meta::get_element_m<
        std::meta::get_enumerators_m<reflexpr(MyEnum)>,
        0>
    >;

  // prints "AAA"
  std::cout << name_of_MyEnum_0 << std::endl;
}

静态反射未能进入c++ 17(更确切地说，进入了2016年11月在Issaquah举行的标准会议上提出的可能是最终草案)，但有信心它将进入c++ 20;摘自赫布·萨特的旅行报告:

特别是，反射研究小组审查了最新合并的静态反射提案，并发现它准备在我们的下一次会议上进入主要的进化小组，开始考虑TS或下一个标准的统一静态反射提案。

嗯，还有另一个选择。一个典型的用例是，您需要为HTTP谓词使用常量，并使用其字符串版本值。

示例:

int main () {

  VERB a = VERB::GET;
  VERB b = VERB::GET;
  VERB c = VERB::POST;
  VERB d = VERB::PUT;
  VERB e = VERB::DELETE;


  std::cout << a.toString() << std::endl;

  std::cout << a << std::endl;

  if ( a == VERB::GET ) {
    std::cout << "yes" << std::endl;
  }

  if ( a == b ) {
    std::cout << "yes" << std::endl;
  }

  if ( a != c ) {
    std::cout << "no" << std::endl;
  }

}

VERB类:

// -----------------------------------------------------------
// -----------------------------------------------------------
class VERB {

private:

  // private constants
  enum Verb {GET_=0, POST_, PUT_, DELETE_};

  // private string values
  static const std::string theStrings[];

  // private value
  const Verb value;
  const std::string text;

  // private constructor
  VERB (Verb v) :
  value(v), text (theStrings[v])
  {
    // std::cout << " constructor \n";
  }

public:

  operator const char * ()  const { return text.c_str(); }

  operator const std::string ()  const { return text; }

  const std::string toString () const { return text; }

  bool operator == (const VERB & other) const { return (*this).value == other.value; }

  bool operator != (const VERB & other) const { return ! ( (*this) == other); }

  // ---

  static const VERB GET;
  static const VERB POST;
  static const VERB PUT;
  static const VERB DELETE;

};

const std::string VERB::theStrings[] = {"GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"};

const VERB VERB::GET = VERB ( VERB::Verb::GET_ );
const VERB VERB::POST = VERB ( VERB::Verb::POST_ );
const VERB VERB::PUT = VERB ( VERB::Verb::PUT_ );
const VERB VERB::DELETE = VERB ( VERB::Verb::DELETE_ );

例子

    String z1 = Helper_MY_TEST::toName(s1);

自动ENUM_MAKE宏生成“枚举类”和“枚举反射函数”辅助类。

为了减少错误，Everything只定义一个ENUM_MAKE。

这种代码的优点是自动创建用于反射和查看宏代码，易于理解的代码。'enum to string'， 'string to enum'性能都是算法O(1)。

缺点是第一次使用时，枚举relection的string vector和map的helper类被初始化。 但是如果你想，你也会被预初始化。- - - - - -

根据OP的要求，这里有一个基于Boost preproessor和Variadic Macros的丑陋宏解决方案的精简版本。

它允许类似枚举元素语法的简单列表，并为特定元素设置值，以便

XXX_ENUM(foo,(a,b,(c,42)));

扩大到

enum foo {
    a,
    b,
    c=42
};

与必要的函数一起输出并做一些转换。这个宏已经存在了很长时间，我不完全确定这是最有效的方式，或者它是一种一致的方式，但它一直以来都在工作

完整的代码可以在Ideone和Coliru中看到。

它的巨大丑陋在上面;如果我知道怎么做，我会把它放在剧透后面保护你的眼睛，但markdown不喜欢我。

使用

#include "xxx_enum.h"  // the above lib
#include <iostream>

XXX_ENUM(foo,(a,b,(c,42)));

int main()
{
  std::cout << "foo::a = "            << foo::a            <<'\n';
  std::cout << "(int)foo::c = "       << (int)foo::c       <<'\n';
  std::cout << "to_string(foo::b) = " << to_string(foo::b) <<'\n';
  std::cout << "xxx::enum_cast<foo>(\"b\") = " << xxx::enum_cast<foo>("b") <<'\n';
}

编译(在main.cpp中复制粘贴头文件)

> g++ --version | sed 1q
g++ (GCC) 4.9.2

> g++ -std=c++14 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra main.cpp
main.cpp:268:31: warning: extra ';' [-Wpedantic]
     XXX_ENUM(foo,(a,b,(c,42)));
                               ^

输出

foo::a = foo::a
(int)foo::c = 42
to_string(foo::b) = foo::b
xxx::enum_cast<foo>("b") = foo::b

我采用了@antron的想法，并以不同的方式实现:生成一个真正的枚举类。

这个实现满足了最初问题中列出的所有要求，但目前只有一个真正的限制:它假设枚举值要么没有提供，要么如果提供了，必须从0开始，并且无间隙地按顺序递增。

这并不是一个内在的限制——只是我不使用特别的enum值。如果需要，可以用传统的开关/案例实现替换向量查找。

解决方案使用一些c++17作为内联变量，但如果需要，这可以很容易地避免。因为简单，它还使用boost:trim。

最重要的是，它只需要30行代码，而且没有黑魔法宏。 代码如下。它的意思是放在头和包括在多个编译模块。

它可以使用与本文前面建议的相同的方式:

ENUM(Channel, int, Red, Green = 1, Blue)
std::out << "My name is " << Channel::Green;
//prints My name is Green

请让我知道这是有用的，以及如何进一步改进。
