One of the inefficiencies that has been bothering me for a long time is that
enum_
contains a huge amount of setup code that is replicated hundreds of times in larger codebases that make use of many enumerations. This patch reimplementsenum_
in a compatible manner, with most code in a generic helper class.The PR also adds a number of convenience functions (like
operator+
) from the number protocol to thedetail::object_api
class.With this change, the example shared library binary size goes down by 103 KiB (3.2%). It is worth noting that the examples only contain 6 enums. In larger projects with many enum data structures, savings can be substantial.
