Hi,

Does Boost contain any features to get metadata of classes?

For instance,

Let Foo be some class

class Foo
{
   int   m_var1;
   long*  m_var2]
   char   m_var3[100];
   dooble  m_var4;
};

I would like to get the following info (as vector, file, etc) of its 
members:

{" m_var1", "int", sizeof (m_var1), offset of (m_var1) },
{" m_var2", "long", "Pointer", sizeof (m_var2), sizeof (base-variable, i.e., 
long), offset of (m_var2 },
{" m_var3, "char", "array", sizeof (m_var3), sizeof (base-variable, i.e., 
char), offset of (m_var3 },
{" m_var4", "double", sizeof (m_var4), offset of (m_var4) },

That info I would like to get as a result of some feature (function, ...) 
applied to class Foo, not to each member of Foo.

Alex.
