MessagePack interface and self-aware struct-like types for C++11.

This work is based on an original idea from Joe Groff.

Requirements

• C++11 compiler (tested with GCC 4.8.3 on Debian and Apple LLVM version 6.0 on OSX)
• MessagePack
• cpkg and cbuild for building and packaging

Basic usage

Define a MessagePack'able type my_msg with a std::size_t identifier and a std::string label:

#include <iostream>

#include <mpxx/mpxx.hpp>

MPXX_MSG(
    my_msg,
    (std::size_t, id)
    (std::string, label)
)

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    my_msg m(42, "a message");

    msgpack::sbuffer sbuf;
    msgpack::pack(sbuf, m);

    msgpack::unpacked u;
    msgpack::unpack(&u, sbuf.data(), sbuf.size());

    my_msg rm;
    msgpack::object obj = u.get();
    obj.convert(&rm);

    std::cout
        << m.id << " " << rm.id << "\n"
        << m.label << " " << rm.label
        << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
