cxx-reflection branch

cxx-reflection branch

[Maurizio Monge]

Hello,
sorry for bothering you, but i wasn't able to find on the web
the informations i was looking for about the cxx reflection branch
and i wasn't albe to contact the mantainer (and i don't have enough 
knowlegde of gcc to deduce it from sources).

In particular i would like to know what is the current status of the
branch, as i was planning to try add to gcc some extension to 
allow things like:

template <class T>
serialize(const T& t)
{
    /* code that accesses T members with some extension */
}

is anything like this supported (or planned) in the branch?
Thanks.

Best regards
Maurizio Monge

No, I have no such plan.  (And the branch has seen no much development
recently)

But you still plan on working on it later?  Do you think cvs.html
could be updated, one way or the other to reflect the current status
and plans?

Yes, we do.

yes, of course :-) but first things first. GCC-3.4.5 status tonight.

You should know that due to what appears to be some tag moving in
individual files, this branch is going to look weird after the SVN
conversion (it's one of three such branches where tag moving on
individual files was done).
You end up with unlabeled branches and tags, so it's hard to diff
between the tags, etc.

This is unavoidable.

If you don't plan on using it for a while, you may be better off just
taking a diff against the branchpoint exclude the branch from the
conversion (which is about a month or so away), and recreate it after
the move.

The other two branches are long dead and completely integrated, and i
was told i can simply not bother converting them.

I have no plan of committing any change before september.  So I guess,
I should wait after the conversion.

Isn't boost's serialization library:

http://www.boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/index.html

suitable for your purpose?  If not, could you explain
where it fails?

TIA.
