I would like to submit a C++14 reflection library, Describe, to Boost and I'm looking for endorsements and a review manager. The library is at https://github.com/pdimov/describe and the documentation is at https://pdimov.github.io/describe/doc/html/describe.html. Some examples of what the library enables are given at https://pdimov.github.io/describe/doc/html/describe.html#examples.
The purpose of Describe is to establish a standard way of annotating (describing) user-defined types (enums, structs and classes), so that types can be described once, and then their descriptions can be used from other libraries. At the moment, the practice is for each library to invent its own ad-hoc annotation/description mechanism.
+1. I love this. I think this will be a great addition to the Boost libraries. Regards, -- Joel
