BTF or DWARF info in principle contain the information needed, though working with them is cumbersome...by cozzyd

Been there… Pendantic nitpick: it's more akin to introspection, reflection would be self-modifying code.by tliltocatl

Nice. But you've just invented Zig!by teo_zero

C with Zig's comptime is compelling though. Zig doesnt allow you to access all the features your C compiler does, and puts you in the LLVM ecosystem. I've been working on something similar; extending C with both Zig/C++ inspired reflection and linear types, with a compiler that compiles to a subset of C to allow you to leverage GCC and all its extenstions.by accelbred
