This is a header-only library providing an unintrusive meta object facility for the C++ language (requires at least C++14). It provides utilities for declaring abstract properties and binding them to properties of concrete C++ types. CMOH is designed to be used as a base for by (de)serialization and RPC libraries.
With CMOH, you can
- declare abstract properties (e.g. attributes),
- specify how these properties are accessed for a specific C++ type and
- bundle this information, giving you access to the properties by a key of user-defined type.
Currently, CMOH is in early development. However, a preliminary user user documentation does exist, as well as examples.
As this is a header-only library, no linking is required. A pkg-config-file
cmoh.pc is installed along with the library. If you are not using
pkg-config, add <installation_prefix>/include to your include directories.
CMOH makes heavy use of templates and C++14 features. Hence, a C++14 compliant tool chain is required. We recommend using clang-3.8 or gcc-5.3 or later. Additionally, the following packages are required for installation:
makesh- a number of smaller packages, which are usually part of a regular installation on unixoid system
If you obtained CMOH without a pre-generated configure-script, you may also
require
autoconfautomake
Our build/installation setup is based on the autotools.
If you obtained CMOH without a pre-generated configure script, run
aclocal
autoconf
automake --add-missing
on a machine on which the autotools are installed. If the procedure was
successful, the project's root directory will contain a configure script.
If the project root contains a configure script, you can proceed by running
./configure
make install
in the project's root directory.
Additional information regarding build targets and the installation process can be found in the user documentation.
