I really like the advanced features of C++ (operator overloading
templates etc..) compared to languages as Delphi or Java.
Delphi and Java however offer support for properties and components.
Combined these give you a design-time interface (Property
Inspector) that allow you to create clean user interface and database
code without tons of code generated by so called wizards. (It is very
easy to add or remove an object afterwards).
The non-default properties are loaded from a resource file instead of
hardcoded in the soure.
I just downloaded a trial version of Borlands C++Builder (Delphi for
C++) and they had to add features to C++ to support
their VCL component model (see http://www.borland.com).
So now my question is:
- Are there any suggestions of supporting properties and
introspection for C++.
- If not would it be that hard to support the features in Java for
JavaBeans in C++
