C++ reflection and access to private data

Published on July 23, 2026, the example uses C++ reflection with an unchecked access context to increment Foo's non-static data members, including the private field secret, and print the result.

An example on Compiler Explorer demonstrates C++ reflection with an unchecked access context. The code increments all non-static data members of Foo, including the private field secret, and prints the result. The description does not specify a C++ version or provide further implementation details.

The example illustrates how reflection access controls can affect encapsulation in modern C++. To check the result, consult the original example on Compiler Explorer and inspect its code and output yourself; do not provide confidential data when asking an AI tool to explain or adapt the example.
