# CppReflection

This is a solution for using reflection in a C++ project. With it, you can selectively apply reflection to your C++ types, and also get meta information about types at runtime.

[![Windows](https://github.com/IlyaKozhevnikov7/CppReflection/actions/workflows/build-windows.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/IlyaKozhevnikov7/CppReflection/actions/workflows/build-windows.yml)
[![Linux](https://github.com/IlyaKozhevnikov7/CppReflection/actions/workflows/build-linux.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/IlyaKozhevnikov7/CppReflection/actions/workflows/build-linux.yml)

## Requirements

- C++20 compatible compiler (MSVC, clang++)
- Supported OS: Windows, Linux

## Build

```bash
# Build MetaGenerator
premake5 vs2022   # Required for MetaGenerator (.NET)
dotnet build MetaGenerator/MetaGenerator.csproj -c [Debug|Release]

# Build CppReflection

# Windows
msbuild Reflection\CppReflection.vcxproj

# Linux
premake5 gmake
make CppReflection
```

## How to use

- Include headers (`Reflection/Include`)
- Setup MetaGenerator (See [Generator Usage](Docs/generator_using.md) for details)

## Common features

- Automatic generation of metainformation
- Assembly
  - Dynamic loading
  - Type extraction (by name)
    > ⚠️(except generic types)

- Attributes (for types, field, methods, constructors)

- Types (class / struct / generics)
  - Name
  - Namespace
  - Size
  - Parent types
  - Lifetime control
    - Constructors
    - Destructors
  - Fields
    - Name
    - Accesse (read / write) (local / static)
  - Methods
    - Name
    - Signature (return type / argument types)
    - Dynamic invoke
  - `IsA` checks

- Generic Types
  - Template name
  - Parameter types (Single, multiple and ellipsis)
    > ⚠️ Only type parameters are supported (no value parameters)

- Enums
  - Name
  - Namespace
  - Base type
  - Value names
  - Values

- Static and polymorphic type extraction

- Cast (upcast, downcast, crosscast)
  > 💡 Without RTTI
