The promise of static reflection in C++26: Type Traits without compiler intrinsics
summary
Covers current C++ type traits (e.g., std::is_class) and the limitations that force some traits to rely on compiler intrinsics. Explains static reflection proposals in C++26 and shows how using static reflection can implement such type traits portably in the library without compiler-specific built-ins. Ends by outlining how this approach could decouple library capabilities from compiler intrinsics.
