Hi,
I am quite interested by boost::reflect : I have a few csv exports of existing structures to do, it sounds like the right tool (even though it can apparently do much more). So far it's the smallest effort to reflect existing data structures (no need to specify the types of members).
Great to hear, that is actually my primary goal with boost reflect, minimize extra typing.
I got "a" version (the "master" branch) from github and I tried the sample from http://bytemaster.github.com/dev/group__boost__reflect__quickstart.html but I had to change a few things from the code to make it work:
- vtable.hpp line 47 vtable<T, InterfaceDelegate> ---> vtable<Visitor, InterfaceDelegate>
vtable.hpp line 47 should never actually be instantiated unless you attempt to use it with a type that has not had the BOOST_REFLECT_ANY() macro specified for it. That said, the correct fix is vtable<InterfaceType,InterfaceDelegate>. I had changed the template parameter to be more descriptive for documentation purposes and missed that.
- xml_printer::operator() must be const, it is not in the sample
You are correct, documentation error. It has been updated.
- you must use the "xml_printer" functor by explicitely specifying the template argument (xml_printer<my_struct>(t) instead of xml_printer(t)).
Also correct. I have updated the example to reflect that and added a new helper to the example that should simplify things. xml_printer::make( t ) will deduce the type for you, useful if t is complex.
I am using gcc 4.5.2 under Ubuntu in case that matters.
Thanks for all of your input, changes have been checked into git and documentation updated. I have only tested on Mac OS X with gcc 4.5 and 4.2.1, limited testing on Windows. I suspect that Boost.Context will need a small CMake change to link the proper asm. On Windows you have to use the nmake build because a cmake bug prevents it from compiling the Boost.Context asm with the VS generators. More documentation is coming.
