C++26 Reflection: Building a High-Performance Struct-of-Arrays Vector
2025-05-09
This article demonstrates how to leverage C++26 reflection to implement a high-performance struct-of-arrays vector (SoaVector). By storing struct members in separate arrays, SoaVector avoids memory waste and improves access efficiency. The article details the implementation of SoaVector, including memory management, element addition, reading, and referencing. A comparison with a similar Zig implementation highlights the power and potential of C++26 reflection.
