Detailed Description

🟩 Describe C++ types at compile time for serialization (see Reflection for more details)

Reflection generates compile time information of fields in a structure or class.
Typically this library is used with one of the serialization libraries ( Serialization Binary or Serialization Text).

Note

Reflection uses more complex C++ constructs compared to other libraries in this repository. To limit the issue, effort has been spent trying not to use obscure C++ meta-programming techniques. The library uses only template partial specialization and constexpr.

Typedef Documentation

Schema

using SC::Reflection::Schema = typedef Reflection::SchemaCompiler<FlatSchemaBuilder>

#include <ReflectionSchemaCompiler.h>

Default schema not building any virtual table.

Enumeration Type Documentation

TypeCategory

enum class SC::Reflection::TypeCategory : uint8_t

strong

#include <Reflection.h>

Enumeration of possible category types recognized by Reflection.

Note

We can use only 7 of the 8 bits here, as in TypeInfo we're stealing 1 bit for TypeInfo::hasLink [reflectionSnippet3]

Enumerator
TypeInvalid	Invalid type sentinel.
TypeBOOL	Type is bool
TypeUINT8	Type is uint8_t
TypeUINT16	Type is uint16_t
TypeUINT32	Type is uint32_t
TypeUINT64	Type is uint64_t
TypeINT8	Type is int8_t
TypeINT16	Type is int16_t
TypeINT32	Type is int32_t
TypeINT64	Type is int64_t
TypeFLOAT32	Type is float
TypeDOUBLE64	Type is double
TypeStruct	Type is a struct type.
TypeArray	Type is an array type.
TypeVector	Type is a vector type.
