Motivating Example #0

// requires: C++14
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "boost/pfr/precise.hpp"

struct some_person {
    std::string name;
    unsigned birth_year;
};

int main() {
    some_person val{"Edgar Allan Poe", 1809};

    std::cout << boost::pfr::get<0>(val)                // No macro!
        << " was born in " << boost::pfr::get<1>(val);  // Works with any aggregate initializables!
}

Outputs:

Edgar Allan Poe was born in 1809

Motivating Example #1

// requires: C++14
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/pfr/precise.hpp"

struct my_struct { // no ostream operator defined!
    int i;
    char c;
    double d;
};

int main() {
    using namespace boost::pfr::ops; // out-of-the-box ostream operator for all PODs!

    my_struct s{100, 'H', 3.141593};
    std::cout << "my_struct has " << boost::pfr::tuple_size<my_struct>::value
        << " fields: " << s << "\n";
}

Outputs:

my_struct has 3 fields: {100, H, 3.14159}

Motivating Example #2

// requires: C++14
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/pfr/precise.hpp"

struct my_struct { // no ostream operator defined!
    std::string s;
    int i;
};

int main() {
    using namespace boost::pfr::ops; // out-of-the-box ostream operators for aggregate initializables!

    my_struct s{{"Das ist fantastisch!"}, 100};
    std::cout << "my_struct has " << boost::pfr::tuple_size<my_struct>::value
        << " fields: " << s << "\n";
}

Outputs:

my_struct has 2 fields: {"Das ist fantastisch!", 100}

Requirements and Limitations

General:

  • C++14 compatible compiler (GCC-5.0+, Clang, Visual Studio 2017 with /std:c++latest or /std:c++17, ...)
  • Static variables are ignored
  • T must be constexpr aggregate initializable and must not contain references nor bitfields
