Practical C++26 reflection for Protobuf

Abstract The new edition of the C++ standard [1], expected to be released in 2026, will add reflection to C++. This will allow developers to write code that will examine the properties of classes, types, functions, and other elements and make changes to them. At the time of writing, reflection is not supported by the […]

Практична рефлексія C++26 для Protobuf

Вступ Нова редакція стандарту C++ [1], випуск якої очікується у нинішньому, 2026 році, додасть в C++ рефлексію (reflection). Це дозволить розробникам писати код, який досліджуватиме властивості класів, типів, функцій, та інших елементів і робити у них зміни. На момент написання статті, рефлексія хоча і не підтримується основними гілками компіляторів, проте доступна у відгалуженнях як clang […]

Off-target testing embedded projects with STUBMMIO

Introduction Off-target testing - building and running tests "on a development host or build server rather than on the target hardware" . [3] stubmmio is a C++ library for off-target embedded unit tests by stubbing MCU’s MMIO regions on a Linux machine. Memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) is a method of performing I/O through registers, mapped to […]

is_constexpr – a template to test if a function is constexpr

C++ allows declaring functions as constexpr. Such functions could be evaluated at compile time and used, for example in if constexpr(...). However, a non-constexpr function in this context is not allowed. So, if we want to write a template, accepting a function and using it in either if constexpr(...) or old plain if(...) we need […]

setof – an iterable set of strongly typed enumerations

This post suggests an implementation of template class setof which facilitates features of a bit set and a forward-iterable container.

C++ switch with textual cases

C++ does not allow using string literals as case values in a switch statement. In modern C++ this restriction can be worked around with constexpr hash values.

any_of<c1, …, c2>(v)

This simple C++17 template implements constexpr any_of for matching a value against a list of constants.

USB++ a C++14 template library for handy descriptor definition

Overview USB++ (usbplusplus) is a C++14 template library that gives the user a simple and error-prone way for defining USB descriptors, suitable for embedded projects.

Cascaded Configuration Sets for C++1y

Introduction Preprocessor macros are widely used in C++ for configuring reusable modules, targeting different platforms or working around compiler’s differences. Such approach is inherited from C and used even in modern pure C++ libraries, such as boost. The aim of this work is to research on suitability of C++ templates and language features for establishing […]
