What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
I'm not sure this is quite what you're asking for, but this library has been super helpful to me in the past : https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum

Also, a shoutout to Magic Enum: https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
- Favorite Ways of Stringifying Enums
-
enum_name (yet another enum to/from string conversion utility >=C++11)
What does this have to offer over magic_enum?
-
quill v2.7.0 released - Asynchronous Low Latency C++ Logging Library
But it's a hack, and I prefer not to use hacks in production, because of their significant limitations:
-
Enums print numbers instead of words
You can either write a to string(view) function for your enum or use https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum
-
Enums with methods
Why reinvent the wheel? magic_enum
-
Error: Boost bimap can't convert const CompatibleKey to Key&
Also if you want to convert enum members to string representation I suggest you just use magic_enum instead, much smaller dependency.
-
Macro to write enum and converter from and to string
Magic Enum provides that.

Behind the magic of magic_enum
I can't keep up! First we have better enum, then some guy at a conference says we have to use wise enum instead, and now you speak of magic enum!

which concerns of the game dev industry does the committee NOT address ?
There are already several working, well-known and used hacks mechanisms available to reflect on enums. For example, magic enum, wise enum, Boost.Describe, and so on.
What are some alternatives?
