## What is Nameof?
Header-only C++17 library provides nameof macros and functions to obtain simple name of 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)
* Name of variable
```cpp
// Name of variable
NAMEOF(somevar) -> "somevar"
// Name of member variable
NAMEOF(person.address.zip_code) -> "zip_code"
constexpr auto cx_name = NAMEOF(somevar);
static_assert("somevar" == cx_name);
```
* Name of function
```cpp
// Name of function
NAMEOF(some_method<int, float>) -> "some_method"
NAMEOF_FULL(some_method<int, float>) -> "some_method<int, float>"
// Name of member function
NAMEOF(somevar.foo()) -> "foo"
NAMEOF_FULL(somevar.boo<int>()) -> "boo<int>"
constexpr auto cx_name = NAMEOF(somevar.foo());
static_assert("foo" == cx_name);
```
* Name of enum
```cpp
auto c = Color::RED;
// Name of enum variable
NAMEOF_ENUM(c) -> "RED"
// Name of enum variable
nameof::nameof_enum(c) -> "RED"
constexpr auto cx_color = Color::BLUE;
// Name of static storage enum variable
nameof::nameof_enum<cx_color>() -> "BLUE"
```
* Name of type
```cpp
// Name of variable type
NAMEOF_TYPE(Color::RED) -> "Color"
// Name of type
NAMEOF_TYPE_T(int) -> "int"
// Name of variable type
nameof::nameof_type<decltype(Color::RED)>() -> "Color"
// Name of type
nameof::nameof_type<int>() -> "int"
constexpr auto cx_name = NAMEOF_TYPE(Color::RED);
static_assert("Color" == cx_name);
```
* Name of macro
```cpp
// Name of macro
NAMEOF(__LINE__) -> "__LINE__"
constexpr auto cx_name = NAMEOF(__LINE__);
static_assert("__LINE__" == cx_name);
```
## Remarks
* Nameof return std::string_view.
* Nameof expression arguments are identified, but do not evaluated.
* NAMEOF_ENUM supported on the GCC >= 9.
* If you need of raw fully-qualified name, use NAMEOF_RAW.
```cpp
NAMEOF_RAW(somevar.somefield) -> "somevar.somefield"
NAMEOF_RAW(&SomeStruct::SomeMethod) -> "&SomeStruct::SomeMethod"
NAMEOF_RAW(std::string) -> "std::string"
```
* Spaces and Tabs ignored
```cpp
NAMEOF( somevar ) -> "somevar"
NAMEOF( somevar ) -> "somevar"
```
## Integration
You have to add required file [nameof.hpp](include/nameof.hpp).
## Compiler compatibility
* Clang/LLVM >= 5
* Visual C++ >= 15.3 / Visual Studio >= 2017
* Xcode >= 9
* GCC >= 7
