我的意见，虽然这和行动要求的不完全相符。以下是有关参考资料。

namespace enums
{

template <typename T, T I, char ...Chars>
struct enums : std::integral_constant<T, I>
{
  static constexpr char const chars[sizeof...(Chars)]{Chars...};
};

template <typename T, T X, typename S, std::size_t ...I>
constexpr auto make(std::index_sequence<I...>) noexcept
{
  return enums<T, X, S().chars[I]...>();
}

#define ENUM(s, n) []() noexcept{\
  struct S { char const (&chars)[sizeof(s)]{s}; };\
  return enums::make<decltype(n), n, S>(\
    std::make_index_sequence<sizeof(s)>());}()

#define ENUM_T(s, n)\
  static constexpr auto s ## _tmp{ENUM(#s, n)};\
  using s ## _enum_t = decltype(s ## _tmp)

template <typename T, typename ...A, std::size_t N>
inline auto map(char const (&s)[N]) noexcept
{
  constexpr auto invalid(~T{});

  auto r{invalid};

  return
    (
      (
        invalid == r ?
          r = std::strncmp(A::chars, s, N) ? invalid : A{} :
          r
      ),
      ...
    );
}

}

int main()
{
  ENUM_T(echo, 0);
  ENUM_T(cat, 1);
  ENUM_T(ls, 2);

  std::cout << echo_enum_t{} << " " << echo_enum_t::chars << std::endl;

  std::cout << enums::map<int, echo_enum_t, cat_enum_t, ls_enum_t>("ls")) << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

你生成了一个类型，你可以把它转换成整数或者字符串。

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_ );
// end of file

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;
}

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。

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。

#define XXX_ENUM(NAME,TUPLE) XXX_ENUM_INTERNAL(NAME,NAME,TUPLE)

#define XXX_ENUM_TYPE(NAME,TYPE,TUPLE) XXX_ENUM_INTERNAL(NAME : TYPE,NAME,TUPLE)

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

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;
};
