C 11: Properties Like C#?

C# syntax allows for concise field getters and setters. C 11 introduces named classes and lambdas, offering a similar solution.

Implementing C# Properties in C 11

To emulate C# properties in C 11, you can employ unnamed classes and member access functions. Consider the following implementation:

struct Foo {
    struct {
        int value;
        auto &operator=(const int &i) -> decltype(auto) { return value = i; }
        auto operator()() const -> decltype(auto) { return value; }
    } alpha;

    struct {
        float value;
        auto &operator=(const float &f) -> decltype(auto) { return value = f; }
        auto operator()() const -> decltype(auto) { return value; }
    } bravo;
};

Usage Example

Foo foo;
foo.alpha = 10;
cout 
This approach provides a C#-like syntax for getting and setting properties with auto-generated names.
