Enumerate members of a structure?

Question

Is there a way to enumerate the members of a structure (struct | class) in C++ or C? I need to get the member name, type, and value. I\'ve used the following sample code b

Answer 1

You can specify your types in an intermediate file and generate C++ code from that, something like COM classes can be generated from idl files. The generated code provides reflection capabilities for those types.

I've done something similar two different ways for different projects:

• a custom file parsed by a Ruby script to do the generation
• define the types as C# types, use C#'s reflection to get all the information and generate C++ from this (sounds convoluted, but works surprisingly well, and writing the type definitions is quite similar to writing C++ definitions)
