Iterating struct

[ashen cove]

I wonder that is there a possible way to interate every element of a struct?

struct Request {
    enum method { // (R)equest (M)ethod + <method name>
        RMstatus,
        RMnew,
        RMkill,
        RMenable,
        RMdisable,
        RMexit
    } request_method;
    enum type { // (R)equest (T)ype + <type name>
        RTsync,
        RTpush,
        RTpull
    } request_type;
    std::string orig_path;
    std::string dest_path;
    int freq;

    Request(method _method, type _type, std::string o_path, std::string d_path) :
        request_method(_method), request_type(_type), orig_path(o_path), dest_path(d_path) {
    }

    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, Request const& request) {
        os << "method: " << request.request_method
            << " type: " << request.request_type
            << " orig_path: " << request.orig_path
            << " dest_path: " << request.dest_path;
        return os;
    }
};

how can i access each element by using a loop
any help would be thankful...

C++ itself doesn't support that

But you could create your own reflection system to do that, but that's not like.. the easiest thing to do

[ashen cove]

do we have to use a template to do a reflection?

or is there a mature solution

[glacial jungle]

There are probably many ways, but maybe it would be the best to just use a third party lib if you really need that.
Boost for example should have something for that

Like that i guess https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/doc/html/boost/pfr/for_each_field.html

I will look for that. Thanks for you help!
