iterate through types in a library (reflection)

[bling]

hi, i was wondering if there's a way for C++ to iterator through all types in a library.

i understand that RTTI is not as possible as reflection in java/c#, and there are some solutions that involve macros and the like, but assuming i don't have access to the original source code, and only have static libs, is it possible for me to look at the library programmatically and determine what types there are?

thanks.

Long story short, it's not straightforward and not portable. One possibility is to dump the symbols from the library and demangle the names, this will at least get you the type names and method signatures of all the public types and functions in the library.
