# Nameof C++
|
|
|
|
Header-only C++17 library provides nameof macros and functions to simply obtain the name of a variable, type, function, macro, and enum.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* C++17
|
|
* Header-only
|
|
* Dependency-free
|
|
* Compile-time
|
|
* Name of variable, member variable
|
|
* Name of type, variable type
|
|
* Name of function, member function
|
|
* Name of enum, enum variable
|
|
* Name of macro
|
|
* Enum to string
|
|
|
|

|
## [Examples](example/example.cpp)
|
|
|
|
* Nameof
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Name of variable.
|
|
NAMEOF(somevar) -> "somevar"
|
|
|
|
// Name of member variable.
|
|
NAMEOF(person.address.zip_code) -> "zip_code"
|
|
|
|
// Name of function.
|
|
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.
|
|
NAMEOF(__LINE__) -> "__LINE__"
|
|
NAMEOF(NAMEOF(structvar)) -> "NAMEOF"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Nameof enum
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
auto color = Color::RED;
|
|
// Name of enum variable.
|
|
NAMEOF_ENUM(color) -> "RED"
|
|
nameof::nameof_enum(color) -> "RED"
|
|
|
|
// Static storage enum variable to string.
|
|
// This version is much lighter on the compile times and is not restricted to the enum_range limitation.
|
|
NAMEOF_CONST_ENUM(Color::GREEN) -> "GREEN"
|
|
nameof::nameof_enum<Color::GREEN>() -> "GREEN"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Nameof type
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
using T = const int&;
|
|
T var = 42;
|
|
// Name of variable type.
|
|
NAMEOF_TYPE_EXPR(var) -> "int"
|
|
NAMEOF_FULL_TYPE_EXPR(var) -> "const int&"
|
|
nameof::nameof_type<decltype(var)>() -> "int"
|
|
nameof::nameof_full_type<decltype(var)>() -> "const int&"
|
|
|
|
// Name of type.
|
|
NAMEOF_TYPE(T) -> "int"
|
|
NAMEOF_FULL_TYPE(T) -> "const int&"
|
|
nameof::nameof_type<T>() -> "int"
|
|
nameof::nameof_full_type<T>() -> "const int&"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Compile-time
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
constexpr auto somevar_name = NAMEOF(somevar);
|
|
// somevar_name -> "somevar"
|
|
constexpr auto color_name = NAMEOF_ENUM(Color::BLUE); // or nameof::nameof_enum(Color::BLUE)
|
|
// color_name -> "BLUE"
|
|
constexpr auto var_type_name = NAMEOF_TYPE_EXPR(var); // or nameof::nameof_type<decltype(var)>()
|
|
// var_type_name -> "int"
|
|
constexpr auto type_name = NAMEOF_TYPE(T); // or nameof::nameof_type<T>()
|
|
// type_name -> "int"
|
|
```
|

## Remarks
|
|
|
|
* Before use, read the [limitations](doc/limitations.md) of functionality.
|
|
|
|
## Integration
|
|
|
|
You should add required file [nameof.hpp](include/nameof.hpp).
|
|
|
|
If you are using [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/) on your project for external dependencies, then you can use the [nameof package](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/tree/master/ports/nameof).
|
|
|
|
If you are using [Conan](https://www.conan.io/) to manage your dependencies, merely add `nameof/x.y.z@neargye/stable` to your conan's requires, where `x.y.z` is the release version you want to use.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use something like [CPM](https://github.com/TheLartians/CPM) which is based on CMake's `Fetch_Content` module.
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
CPMAddPackage(
|
|
NAME nameof
|
|
GITHUB_REPOSITORY Neargye/nameof
|
|
GIT_TAG x.y.z # Where `x.y.z` is the release version you want to use.
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Compiler compatibility
|
|
|
|
* Clang/LLVM >= 5
|
|
* MSVC++ >= 14.11 / Visual Studio >= 2017
|
|
* Xcode >= 10
|
|
* GCC >= 7 (GCC >= 9 for NAMEOF_ENUM)
