For example:
const std::map<LogLevel, const char*> g_log_levels_dsc =
{
{ LogLevel::Disabled, "[---]" },
{ LogLevel::Info, "[inf]" },
{ LogLevel::Warning, "[wrn]" },
{ LogLevel::Error, "[err]" },
{ LogLevel::Debug, "[dbg]" }
};
If map is a data member of a class, you can initialize it directly in header by the following way (since C++17):
// Example
template<>
class StringConverter<CacheMode> final
{
public:
static auto convert(CacheMode mode) -> const std::string&
{
// validate...
return s_modes.at(mode);
}
private:
static inline const std::map<CacheMode, std::string> s_modes =
{
{ CacheMode::All, "All" },
{ CacheMode::Selective, "Selective" },
{ CacheMode::None, "None" }
// etc
};
};
