下面的解决方案是基于给定enum的std::array<std::string,N>。

对于将enum转换为std::string，我们只需将enum转换为size_t，然后从数组中查找字符串。该操作是O(1)，不需要堆分配。

#include <boost/preprocessor/seq/transform.hpp>
#include <boost/preprocessor/seq/enum.hpp>
#include <boost/preprocessor/stringize.hpp>

#include <string>
#include <array>
#include <iostream>

#define STRINGIZE(s, data, elem) BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(elem)

// ENUM
// ============================================================================
#define ENUM(X, SEQ) \
struct X {   \
    enum Enum {BOOST_PP_SEQ_ENUM(SEQ)}; \
    static const std::array<std::string,BOOST_PP_SEQ_SIZE(SEQ)> array_of_strings() { \
        return {{BOOST_PP_SEQ_ENUM(BOOST_PP_SEQ_TRANSFORM(STRINGIZE, 0, SEQ))}}; \
    } \
    static std::string to_string(Enum e) { \
        auto a = array_of_strings(); \
        return a[static_cast<size_t>(e)]; \
    } \
}

对于std::string到enum的转换，我们必须对数组进行线性搜索，并将数组索引强制转换为enum。

这里有一些用法示例:http://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/e4212f93bee65076

编辑:重做我的解决方案，以便自定义Enum可以在类中使用。

编辑:检查下面的新版本

如上所述，N4113是这个问题的最终解决方案，但我们要等一年多才能看到它的出现。

同时，如果你想要这样的特性，你将需要求助于“简单的”模板和一些预处理器魔法。

枚举器

template<typename T>
class Enum final
{
    const char* m_name;
    const T m_value;
    static T m_counter;

public:
    Enum(const char* str, T init = m_counter) : m_name(str), m_value(init) {m_counter = (init + 1);}

    const T value() const {return m_value;}
    const char* name() const {return m_name;}
};

template<typename T>
T Enum<T>::m_counter = 0;

#define ENUM_TYPE(x)      using Enum = Enum<x>;
#define ENUM_DECL(x,...)  x(#x,##__VA_ARGS__)
#define ENUM(...)         const Enum ENUM_DECL(__VA_ARGS__);

使用

#include <iostream>

//the initialization order should be correct in all scenarios
namespace Level
{
    ENUM_TYPE(std::uint8)
    ENUM(OFF)
    ENUM(SEVERE)
    ENUM(WARNING)
    ENUM(INFO, 10)
    ENUM(DEBUG)
    ENUM(ALL)
}

namespace Example
{
    ENUM_TYPE(long)
    ENUM(A)
    ENUM(B)
    ENUM(C, 20)
    ENUM(D)
    ENUM(E)
    ENUM(F)
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    Level::Enum lvl = Level::WARNING;
    Example::Enum ex = Example::C;
    std::cout << lvl.value() << std::endl; //2
    std::cout << ex.value() << std::endl; //20
}

简单的解释

Enum<T>::m_counter在每个命名空间声明中设置为0。 (有人能告诉我^^这种行为^^在标准中被提到了吗?) 预处理器的魔力使枚举数的声明自动化。

缺点

它不是真正的枚举类型，因此不能提升为int 不能在交换机情况下使用

可选择的解决方案

这种方法牺牲了线路编号(不是真的)，但可以在开关情况下使用。

#define ENUM_TYPE(x) using type = Enum<x>
#define ENUM(x)      constexpr type x{__LINE__,#x}

template<typename T>
struct Enum final
{
    const T value;
    const char* name;

    constexpr operator const T() const noexcept {return value;}
    constexpr const char* operator&() const noexcept {return name;}
};

勘误表

在GCC和clang上，# 0行与-迂腐冲突。

解决方案

要么从#第1行开始，然后从__LINE__减去1。 或者，不要用-pedantic。 当我们谈到它的时候，要不惜一切代价避免vc++，它一直是编译器的一个笑话。

使用

#include <iostream>

namespace Level
{
    ENUM_TYPE(short);
    #line 0
    ENUM(OFF);
    ENUM(SEVERE);
    ENUM(WARNING);
    #line 10
    ENUM(INFO);
    ENUM(DEBUG);
    ENUM(ALL);
    #line <next line number> //restore the line numbering
};

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    std::cout << Level::OFF << std::endl;   // 0
    std::cout << &Level::OFF << std::endl;  // OFF

    std::cout << Level::INFO << std::endl;  // 10
    std::cout << &Level::INFO << std::endl; // INFO

    switch(/* any integer or integer-convertible type */)
    {
    case Level::OFF:
        //...
        break;

    case Level::SEVERE:
        //...
        break;

    //...
    }

    return 0;
}

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。- - - - - -

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。

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。

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。
