reflex

Philippe Bourgau (Murex) has added support for annotations. It is implemented in the development / feature branch of Reflex (i.e. not to the version used at CERN).

Annotations "A la java" can be associated to classes and their member functions by using "@custom:" in their comments.

For example, here is a header declaring an annotation:

Selecting Types And Members

You can use selection files to tell genreflex what it should generate a dictionary for. If you do not use it, it will generate a dictionary for all types in the files passed at the command line, or when specifying --deep for all types it finds.

The selection file is passed to genreflex with the -s parameters like this: genreflex -s selection.xml header1.h header2.h. It is an XML file with the following structure:

Please have a look at the (probably incorrect...) old page until it is updated and migrated. Sorry about that!

Purpose

Reflex stores and handles reflection information (types, members, etc). It is written in C++. Its reflection catalog can be queried by a small set of simple API classes. See the chapter Accessing Reflex Data.
