A header-only C++17 library providing nameof macros and functions to obtain the name of variables, types, functions, macros, and enum values as strings. It is a single-file, dependency-free utility supporting enum-to-string conversion, including enum flags.
Use cases
- convert enum values to strings in C++
- get the name of a variable or function as a string
- serialize enum flags to readable text
- obtain type names for logging or debugging
- add lightweight reflection-like name lookup to C++ code
When to choose
- you need enum-to-string conversion without code generation
- you want a zero-dependency, header-only C++17 solution
- you need compile-time name retrieval for variables, types, or functions
When to avoid
- you need full runtime reflection beyond name retrieval
- your project targets pre-C++17 compilers
- you need exact portable type spellings across all compilers
