Can I read a file and construct hetereogenous objects at compile time?

问题


Situation:

YAML file containing list of heterogeneous objects by name, like so:

object: Foo
  name: Joe Bloggs
  age: 26
object: Bar
  location: UK

Objects do not inherit from any base class or share any sort of relationship between each other apart from the fact that they appear to "live" together.

This can contain any number of objects. The list of available types can exist in a typelist in the codebase if required.

In my C++ land I have the objects:

struct Foo {
  Foo(std::string n, int a) : name(n), age(a) {}

  std::string name;
  int age;
};

struct Bar {
  Bar(std::string l) : location(l) {}

  std::string location;
};

And on compilation I want to turn that YAML file into a boost::fusion::vector:

boost::fusion::vector<Foo, Bar>(Foo("Joe Bloggs", 26), Bar("UK"));

Or:

boost::fusion::vector<Foo, Bar>(make_obj<Foo>("Joe Bloggs", 26), make_obj<Bar>("UK"));

Can also be a std::tuple if it makes life easier.

Specializations for make_obj can exist for all supported objects if needed.

Is this possible?

Willing to get my hands dirty with the MPL / other advanced metaprogramming if need be, or, can I do all this with constexpr?

C++ version is no worry, can use trunk Clang C++14 if need be.

I see two main approaches:

With Compiletime "Reflection"

You can use BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT and have your cake and eat it. If you adapt your structs you can statically iterate them - in fact writing that code generator that @πάνταῥεῖ mentioned, but inline with the C++ code and at compile time.

You can have the types statically constrained using a variant.

  • Is it possible to generate a fusion map from an adapted struct? shows how to use fusion::extension::struct_member_name to dump generic structs adapted with Fusion (you can forget about the type name demangling because you don't require it)
  • Boost fusion sequence type and name identification for structs and class that shows XML-like output for Fusion adapted structs.

With Manual Grammar

Using Boost Spirit you can just create a grammar for the same structs:

    start   = *(label_(+"object") >> object_);
    object_ = foo_ | bar_;

    foo_    = "Foo" >> eol >> (
                (string_prop_(+"name") >> eol) ^
                (int_prop_(+"age") >> eol)
            );

    bar_    = "Bar" >> eol >> (
                (string_prop_(+"location") >> eol)
            );

    label_  = lit(_r1) >> ':';

    string_prop_ = label_(_r1) >> lexeme [ *(char_ - eol) ];
    int_prop_    = label_(_r1) >> int_;

Now this parses into variant<Foo, Bar> without any further coding. It even allows name and age to appear in random order (or to accept the default value). Of course if you don't want this flexibility, replace ^ with >> in the grammar.

Here's a sample input:

object: Foo
  name: Joe Bloggs
  age: 26
object: Foo
  age: 42
  name: Douglas Adams
object: Foo
  name: Lego Man
object: Bar
  location: UK

And here's the tail of sample (debug) output:

<success></success>
<attributes>[[[[J, o, e,  , B, l, o, g, g, s], 26], [[D, o, u, g, l, a, s,  , A, d, a, m, s], 42], [[L, e, g, o,  , M, a, n], 0], [[U, K]]]]</attributes>
</start>
Parse success: 4 objects
N4data3FooE (Joe Bloggs 26)
N4data3FooE (Douglas Adams 42)
N4data3FooE (Lego Man 0)
N4data3BarE (UK)
