you WILL use the newly added compile-time reflection coming with C++26, right anon???

I bet its over engineered whilst being minimally useful.

Finnster programs?

wait what? even though C++ is the biggest bloated fucking language on this planet it can't do this:?

Name one use case for this, protip: you can't.

parsing json. the unity game engine also uses reflection to showcase your variables on the ui (pic related).
I also used it to create a tool that diffs our test databases when running tests to recognize unintentional changes to the database. it's extremely useful and powerful. the fact that you ask this proves you are either not an employed programmer or a junior with a major case of dunning-kruger.

oh shit we didn't have C++ json parsers until now???
>the unity game engine also uses reflection to showcase your variables on the ui (pic related).
oh shit we didn't have C++ debuggers until now???

you are a retard. in C++ parsing doesn’t automatically map JSON keys to struct fields by name. Instead, you define how to map the JSON to your object by hand like this
void from_json(const json& j, MyType& obj) {
j.at("some_json_key").get_to(obj.member_variable);
}

which gets very repetitive after a while. this is grudgework that reflection can save you from.
in other languages with reflection you can just say:
var myobj = json.parse("file.json");

what does showing objects dynamically on the UI have to do with debugging? you truly are a fucking retard.

you are the embodiment of dunning-kruger
