To check is nameof_enum supported compiler use macro
NAMEOF_ENUM_SUPPORTED
or constexpr constantnameof::is_nameof_enum_supported
.
If nameof_enum used on unsupported compiler, occurs the compilation error. To suppress error define macroNAMEOF_ENUM_NO_CHECK_SUPPORT
. -
To check is nameof_type supported compiler use macro
NAMEOF_TYPE_SUPPORTED
or constexpr constantnameof::is_nameof_type_supported
.
If nameof_type used on unsupported compiler, occurs the compilation error. To suppress error define macroNAMEOF_TYPE_NO_CHECK_SUPPORT
. -
To check is nameof_type_rtti supported compiler use macro

To add custom enum or type names see the example.
-
To change the type of strings, use special macros:
#include <my_lib/string.hpp> #include <my_lib/string_view.hpp> #define NAMEOF_USING_ALIAS_STRING using string = my_lib::String; #define NAMEOF_USING_ALIAS_STRING_VIEW using string_view = my_lib::StringView; #include <nameof.hpp>
NAMEOF

NAMEOF(foo<int, float>()) -> "foo" // Name of member function. NAMEOF(somevar.some_method()) -> "some_method" NAMEOF(somevar.some_method<int>()) -> "some_method" // Name of macro.
