Could you please explain how to get information from attributes in C++? For example, I want to write C++ to python binding. For this I need to annotate all methods in class with some specific binding info. Now I need to generate some code by attributes. Or another example, map class to db entity. Or C++11 attributes is not the same as in Java or C# annotations?
Attributes (a new C++11 feature) are just a standardized syntax for compiler extensions. To do what you want you would need a compiler with the proper extensions. So far, I don’t think any compiler even implements attribute syntax, much less any specific attributes for Python bindings.
Because they’re intended for compiler extensions, there’s no standard way of creating your own attributes, like you can with Java annotations or C# attributes. Of course, a compiler could provide this ability as an extension… 😉
