tsmp VS tomlplusplus

I wrote a libclang based code generation tool and a support library to do static reflection and generate proxies for classes. You can check it out here https://github.com/fabian-jung/tsmp.

I'm trying to port my reflection library tsmp to windows and struggle linking the introspection tool to libclang-cpp and llvm. I tried different routes with no success so far.

I use an additional AST pass to generate type traits for static reflection. You can check it out here: tsmp

I'm happy to announce the first release of my meta-programming library tsmp. The library allows you to iterate through the public fields and functions of classes and the values of enumeration types. The reflection is enabled by parsing the source tree in the background and generating special type-traits that are consumed by the library. The big advantage is that you do not need to litter your code with macros and it does support custom types that are handed into your APIs from your users.

I'm working on a static reflection library called tsmp. It lets you iterate over structs and (typed) enums, as well as wrap class methods with proxies. The main goal is to be non intrusive (no macros) and i did it with the help of code generation in the background. I'm currently finishing a json helper and after that I'll polish the buildsystem and release the first version.

I tried basically the same with my introspection library here. Maybe we can join forces.

You can find the source code an the example in my repository here: https://github.com/fabian-jung/tsmp

A static reflection library for C++20. It is work in progress and feedback is very much appreciated. https://github.com/fabian-jung/tsmp

Unless you want to make your own config file parser as an exercise (which is a good idea) I'd recommend using toml++.

It's a public repo - this one: https://github.com/marzer/tomlplusplus but thank you

For a live demo, see the toml++ homepage: https://marzer.github.io/tomlplusplus/

Added bonus, tomlplusplus is a solid C++ implementation, actively updated, and easy to drop into a project (header only, CMake, vcpkg, Conan, etc.). Very easy to use for what I've needed.

I use them in toml++ to store the path of the source document for all the data nodes parsed from that document. Storing it as a separate std::string allocation for every single object would have been very wasteful, and the alternative would have been to make an overall document class that owned everything, which I didn't want to do, so shared_ptr was a good compromise.

toml++ was both my first 'public'/open-source project, and my first ever attempt at a parser. There's a few things I'd do differently now if I were to write it from scratch, but I've learned a lot along the way (particularly about making things build 'clean' on multiple platforms).
