当我想要在c++中进行反射时，我读了这篇文章并改进了我在那里看到的东西。对不起，没有罐头。结果不是我的…但你当然可以得到我所拥有的，然后从那里开始。

我目前正在研究，当我喜欢的时候，使用inherit_linear的方法使可反射类型的定义更容易。实际上我已经学了很多，但还有一段路要走。c++ 0x中的变化很可能在这方面有很大的帮助。

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.

Ponder是一个c++反射库，用于回答这个问题。我考虑了这些选择，决定自己做一个，因为我找不到一个符合我所有要求的。

虽然这个问题有很好的答案，但我不想使用大量宏，也不想依赖Boost。Boost是一个很棒的库，但也有很多小型定制的c++ 0x项目，它们更简单，编译时间更快。能够从外部装饰一个类也有好处，比如包装一个不支持c++ 11的c++库。它是CAMP的分支，使用c++ 11，不再需要Boost。

你可以通过Boost::Hana库中的BOOST_HANA_DEFINE_STRUCT实现很酷的静态反射功能。 Hana非常通用，不仅适用于您所想到的用例，还适用于许多模板元编程。

您需要查看您正在尝试做什么，以及RTTI是否满足您的需求。我已经实现了自己的伪反射，用于某些非常特定的目的。例如，我曾经希望能够灵活地配置模拟输出内容。它需要在输出的类中添加一些样板代码:

namespace {
  static bool b2 = Filter::Filterable<const MyObj>::Register("MyObject");
} 

bool MyObj::BuildMap()
{
  Filterable<const OutputDisease>::AddAccess("time", &MyObj::time);
  Filterable<const OutputDisease>::AddAccess("person", &MyObj::id);
  return true;
}

第一个调用将该对象添加到筛选系统，该系统调用BuildMap()方法以确定哪些方法可用。

然后，在配置文件中，你可以这样做:

FILTER-OUTPUT-OBJECT   MyObject
FILTER-OUTPUT-FILENAME file.txt
FILTER-CLAUSE-1        person == 1773
FILTER-CLAUSE-2        time > 2000

通过一些涉及boost的模板魔法，可以在运行时(读取配置文件时)将其转换为一系列方法调用，因此相当高效。我不建议你这样做，除非你真的需要，但是，当你这样做的时候，你可以做一些非常酷的事情。
