so5extra VS Magic Enum C++

In this case, it’s possible that we need to craft and use a custom dispatcher for the purpose. This might be not an easy task in general but we know where to start as we learnt in this previous post. For example, in calico we have discussed and crafted a do_gui_message_loop() function to guarantee the OpenCV drawing happens on the calling thread – and we call this function from the main thread. An alternative solution consists in developing a customized dispatcher. Just to share another example, SObjectizer’s companion project so5extra, provides some battle-tested dispatchers tailored for boost ASIO.

Have you ever tried to cancel a timer on Alexa…while it was about to ring?! In SObjectizer, message cancellation is not strictly guaranteed. Indeed, a delayed message won’t be revoked if it left the timer thread already. This happens if you try cancelling the message too late, in that case there are good chances it will be delivered anyway. For example, if you send a message with delay 100ms and you try cancelling after 100ms then it might have left the timer thread already. There are ways to prevent this problem but won’t be discussed here. If you are interested, have a look at this.

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

What does this have to offer over magic_enum?

But it's a hack, and I prefer not to use hacks in production, because of their significant limitations:

You can either write a to string(view) function for your enum or use https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum

Why reinvent the wheel? magic_enum

Also if you want to convert enum members to string representation I suggest you just use magic_enum instead, much smaller dependency.

Magic Enum provides that.
