只要你愿意为每个可查询枚举编写单独的.h/.cpp对，这个解决方案的语法和功能与常规的c++枚举几乎相同:

// MyEnum.h
#include <EnumTraits.h>
#ifndef ENUM_INCLUDE_MULTI
#pragma once
#end if

enum MyEnum : int ETRAITS
{
    EDECL(AAA) = -8,
    EDECL(BBB) = '8',
    EDECL(CCC) = AAA + BBB
};

.cpp文件是3行样板文件:

// MyEnum.cpp
#define ENUM_DEFINE MyEnum
#define ENUM_INCLUDE <MyEnum.h>
#include <EnumTraits.inl>

使用示例:

for (MyEnum value : EnumTraits<MyEnum>::GetValues())
    std::cout << EnumTraits<MyEnum>::GetName(value) << std::endl;

Code

该解决方案需要2个源文件:

// EnumTraits.h
#pragma once
#include <string>
#include <unordered_map>
#include <vector>

#define ETRAITS
#define EDECL(x) x

template <class ENUM>
class EnumTraits
{
public:
    static const std::vector<ENUM>& GetValues()
    {
        return values;
    }

    static ENUM GetValue(const char* name)
    {
        auto match = valueMap.find(name);
        return (match == valueMap.end() ? ENUM() : match->second);
    }

    static const char* GetName(ENUM value)
    {
        auto match = nameMap.find(value);
        return (match == nameMap.end() ? nullptr : match->second);
    }

public:
    EnumTraits() = delete;

    using vector_type = std::vector<ENUM>;
    using name_map_type = std::unordered_map<ENUM, const char*>;
    using value_map_type = std::unordered_map<std::string, ENUM>;

private:
    static const vector_type values;
    static const name_map_type nameMap;
    static const value_map_type valueMap;
};

struct EnumInitGuard{ constexpr const EnumInitGuard& operator=(int) const { return *this; } };
template <class T> constexpr T& operator<<=(T&& x, const EnumInitGuard&) { return x; }

…

// EnumTraits.inl
#define ENUM_INCLUDE_MULTI

#include ENUM_INCLUDE
#undef ETRAITS
#undef EDECL

using EnumType = ENUM_DEFINE;
using TraitsType = EnumTraits<EnumType>;
using VectorType = typename TraitsType::vector_type;
using NameMapType = typename TraitsType::name_map_type;
using ValueMapType = typename TraitsType::value_map_type;
using NamePairType = typename NameMapType::value_type;
using ValuePairType = typename ValueMapType::value_type;

#define ETRAITS ; const VectorType TraitsType::values
#define EDECL(x) EnumType::x <<= EnumInitGuard()
#include ENUM_INCLUDE
#undef ETRAITS
#undef EDECL

#define ETRAITS ; const NameMapType TraitsType::nameMap
#define EDECL(x) NamePairType(EnumType::x, #x) <<= EnumInitGuard()
#include ENUM_INCLUDE
#undef ETRAITS
#undef EDECL

#define ETRAITS ; const ValueMapType TraitsType::valueMap
#define EDECL(x) ValuePairType(#x, EnumType::x) <<= EnumInitGuard()
#include ENUM_INCLUDE
#undef ETRAITS
#undef EDECL

解释

此实现利用了这样一个事实，即枚举定义的带括号元素列表也可以用作类成员初始化的带括号初始化列表。

当ETRAITS在enumtrait .inl的上下文中计算时， 它展开为EnumTraits<>类的静态成员定义。

EDECL宏将每个枚举成员转换为初始化列表值，这些值随后被传递到成员构造函数中，以填充枚举信息。

EnumInitGuard类被设计为使用枚举初始化式值，然后折叠——留下一个纯枚举数据列表。

好处

c++式的语法 对枚举和枚举类的工作相同(*几乎) 适用于具有任何数字基础类型的enum类型 适用于具有自动、显式和分段初始化值的enum类型 大规模重命名工作(智能感知链接保留) 只有5个预处理器符号(3个全局的)

*与枚举相反，枚举类类型中引用同一枚举中的其他值的初始化式必须完全限定这些值

不利

每个可查询enum需要一个单独的.h/.cpp对 取决于错综复杂的宏和包括魔术 小的语法错误会演变成大得多的错误 定义类或命名空间作用域的枚举不是简单的 没有编译时初始化

评论

当打开EnumTraits时，智能感知会抱怨一些私有成员访问。Inl，但由于扩展的宏实际上是定义类成员，这实际上不是一个问题。

头文件顶部的#ifndef ENUM_INCLUDE_MULTI块是一个小麻烦，可能会缩小到宏或其他内容中，但它足够小，可以接受当前的大小。

声明命名空间作用域的枚举要求首先在其命名空间作用域内向前声明枚举，然后在全局命名空间中定义枚举。此外，任何使用相同枚举值的枚举初始化器必须完全限定这些值。

例子

ENUM_MAKE(MY_TEST, MY_1, MY_2, MY_3)


    MY_TEST s1 = MY_TEST::MY_1;
    MY_TEST s2 = MY_TEST::MY_2;
    MY_TEST s3 = MY_TEST::MY_3;

    String z1 = Helper_MY_TEST::toName(s1);
    String z2 = Helper_MY_TEST::toName(s2);
    String z3 = Helper_MY_TEST::toName(s3);

    MY_TEST q1 = Helper_MY_TEST::toType(z1);
    MY_TEST q2 = Helper_MY_TEST::toType(z2);
    MY_TEST q3 = Helper_MY_TEST::toType(z3);

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。- - - - - -

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。

这个要点提供了一个基于c++可变参数模板的简单映射。

这是一个c++ 17简化版的基于类型的映射的要点:

#include <cstring> // http://stackoverflow.com/q/24520781

template<typename KeyValue, typename ... RestOfKeyValues>
struct map {
  static constexpr typename KeyValue::key_t get(const char* val) noexcept {
    if constexpr (sizeof...(RestOfKeyValues)==0)  // C++17 if constexpr
      return KeyValue::key; // Returns last element
    else {
      static_assert(KeyValue::val != nullptr,
                  "Only last element may have null name");
      return strcmp(val, KeyValue::val()) 
            ? map<RestOfKeyValues...>::get(val) : KeyValue::key;
    }
  }
  static constexpr const char* get(typename KeyValue::key_t key) noexcept {
    if constexpr (sizeof...(RestOfKeyValues)==0)
      return (KeyValue::val != nullptr) && (key == KeyValue::key)
            ? KeyValue::val() : "";
    else
      return (key == KeyValue::key) 
            ? KeyValue::val() : map<RestOfKeyValues...>::get(key);
  }
};

template<typename Enum, typename ... KeyValues>
class names {
  typedef map<KeyValues...> Map;
public:
  static constexpr Enum get(const char* nam) noexcept {
    return Map::get(nam);
  }
  static constexpr const char* get(Enum key) noexcept {
    return Map::get(key);
  }
};

用法示例:

enum class fasion {
    fancy,
    classic,
    sporty,
    emo,
    __last__ = emo,
    __unknown__ = -1
};

#define NAME(s) static inline constexpr const char* s() noexcept {return #s;}
namespace name {
    NAME(fancy)
    NAME(classic)
    NAME(sporty)
    NAME(emo)
}

template<auto K, const char* (*V)()>  // C++17 template<auto>
struct _ {
    typedef decltype(K) key_t;
    typedef decltype(V) name_t;
    static constexpr key_t  key = K; // enum id value
    static constexpr name_t val = V; // enum id name
};

typedef names<fasion,
    _<fasion::fancy, name::fancy>,
    _<fasion::classic, name::classic>,
    _<fasion::sporty, name::sporty>,
    _<fasion::emo, name::emo>,
    _<fasion::__unknown__, nullptr>
> fasion_names;

map < keyvalue…>可以双向使用:

fasion_names:把(in fashion: emo) fasion_names::把(“emo”)

这个例子可以在godbolt.org上找到

int main ()
{
  constexpr auto str = fasion_names::get(fasion::emo);
  constexpr auto fsn = fasion_names::get(str);
  return (int) fsn;
}

结果:gc -7 -std=c++1z -Ofast -S

main:
        mov     eax, 3
        ret

只需要生成枚举。为此目的编写一个生成器大约需要5分钟的工作。

生成器代码在java和python，超级容易移植到任何你喜欢的语言，包括c++。

而且非常容易扩展任何你想要的功能。

示例输入:

First = 5
Second
Third = 7
Fourth
Fifth=11

生成头文件:

#include <iosfwd>

enum class Hallo
{
    First = 5,
    Second = 6,
    Third = 7,
    Fourth = 8,
    Fifth = 11
};

std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream &, const Hallo&);

生成的CPP文件

#include <ostream>

#include "Hallo.h"

std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream &out, const Hallo&value)
{
    switch(value)
    {
    case Hallo::First:
        out << "First";
        break;
    case Hallo::Second:
        out << "Second";
        break;
    case Hallo::Third:
        out << "Third";
        break;
    case Hallo::Fourth:
        out << "Fourth";
        break;
    case Hallo::Fifth:
        out << "Fifth";
        break;
    default:
        out << "<unknown>";
    }

    return out;
}

生成器以非常简洁的形式作为移植和扩展的模板。这个示例代码确实试图避免覆盖任何文件，但使用它仍然要自担风险。
