Discoverable objects in C++, any tools?

[Olav]

Hi

I am looking for ways to get discovery as in .NET or Java in C++,
without the complexity of COM or CORBA.

The goal is that our framework should be able to persist objects in
different ways (Database, XML...) based on this information.
Secondary it could be interesting to have methods for XML
serialization etc. generated for us.

I am primarily thinking of code-generators and pre-processors. I am
aware of the possibility of using wrappers in Java, .NET etc.

Could WSDL be a solution?

Also looking for tips, patterns, libraries, tools etc. for persisting
graphs of objects. Is there anything like ASN.1 for XML?

Thanks
Olav

DEBUG INFORMATION - A SOLUTION
Have been sleeping a bit. The debugger has access to debug
information, which might be what we need, is it possible to access
this from inside the app at runtime?

Initially this is Windows, bu are primarily looking for portable
solutions, esp with Linux

Thanks - Olav
