By allowing you to reason about code as data. Reflection can be used for e.g. Serialization, Networking and content editors. However, since reflection is not a C++ language feature yet. I will use a new tooling opportunity: ".ifc" Binary Module Interface files to implement a reflection library. Made possible by Gabriel Dos Reis‘s efforts to open source the specification of MSVC’s Binary Module Interface https://github.com/microsoft/ifc-spec. This approach solves issues of current C++ reflection libraries. Which either rely on manual typeinfo registration, leading to constant work to keep them in sync. Or parsing C++ source code which is slow and needs deep integration into your desired build system. --- Maiko Steeman graduated from Breda University of Applied Sciences with a focus on Game Engine and Tools Programming. Since graduating Maiko worked as a Tools Programmer at Creative Assembly, and has since moved to Guerrilla working on content creation tools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAKA5ozAIiA
