(via elj daily).
OpenC++ is a version of C++ with a metaobject protocol. MOPs are an OOP form of reflection, that allows customzing the behaviour of objects. The site suggests these uses: Developing extensions to C++, to provide support for things like parallelism, distribution, concurrency, and persistence; Adding domain-, application-, or class-specific compiler optimizations.
The site provides links to some papers on the topic.
We mentioned MOP around here in the past. The classic example is CLOS. I studied reflection a lot recently, and posted some links here.
Adding reflection to compiled languages (i.e., not using an interpreter framework) is far from trivial. For an interesting discussion see this paper.
