我的答案在这里。

你可以同时获得枚举值名称和这些索引，如deque of string。

这种方法只需要少量的复制粘贴和编辑。

当需要枚举类类型值时，需要将获得的结果从size_t类型转换为枚举类类型，但我认为这是一种非常可移植和强大的处理枚举类的方法。

enum class myenum
{
  one = 0,
  two,
  three,
};

deque<string> ssplit(const string &_src, boost::regex &_re)
{
  boost::sregex_token_iterator it(_src.begin(), _src.end(), _re, -1);
  boost::sregex_token_iterator e;
  deque<string> tokens;
  while (it != e)
    tokens.push_back(*it++);
  return std::move(tokens);
}

int main()
{
  regex re(",");
  deque<string> tokens = ssplit("one,two,three", re);
  for (auto &t : tokens) cout << t << endl;
    getchar();
  return 0;
}

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

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

int main()

  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

(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.

#include <cstring>      // For strcspn, strncpy.

// arguments, and IDENTITY(x) is needed to control the order of
// expansion of __VA_ARGS__ on Visual C++ compilers.

        index >= sizeof(terminators) ? false :
        c == terminators[index] ? true :

}

        s[index] != untrimmed[index] ? false :
        matches_untrimmed(untrimmed, s, index + 1);
}



// 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.

                                                                      \
        return the_names;                                             \

// The code above was a "header file". This is a program that uses it.

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

constexpr Channel   channel = Channel::_from_string("Red");

int main()
{
    std::cout << channel._to_string() << std::endl;

    switch (channel) {
        case Channel::Red:   return 0;
        case Channel::Green: return 1;
        case Channel::Blue:  return 2;
    }
}

static_assert(sizeof(Channel) == sizeof(char), "");

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。

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;
};

如果你的枚举看起来像

enum MyEnum
{
  AAA = -8,
  BBB = '8',
  CCC = AAA + BBB
};

你可以移动枚举的内容到一个新文件:

AAA = -8,
BBB = '8',
CCC = AAA + BBB

然后这些值可以被宏包围:

// default definition
#ifned ITEM(X,Y)
#define ITEM(X,Y)
#endif

// Items list
ITEM(AAA,-8)
ITEM(BBB,'8')
ITEM(CCC,AAA+BBB)

// clean up
#undef ITEM

下一步可能是重新包含枚举中的项:

enum MyEnum
{
  #define ITEM(X,Y) X=Y,
  #include "enum_definition_file"
};

最后你可以生成关于这个枚举的实用函数:

std::string ToString(MyEnum value)
{
  switch( value )
  {
    #define ITEM(X,Y) case X: return #X;
    #include "enum_definition_file"
  }

  return "";
}

MyEnum FromString(std::string const& value)
{
  static std::map<std::string,MyEnum> converter
  {
    #define ITEM(X,Y) { #X, X },
    #include "enum_definition_file"
  };

  auto it = converter.find(value);
  if( it != converter.end() )
    return it->second;
  else
    throw std::runtime_error("Value is missing");
}

该解决方案可以应用于旧的c++标准，它不使用现代的c++元素，但它可以用来生成大量代码，而不需要太多的工作和维护。
