I can get the variable name and convert to string
but i need to get the variable value by the name of the variable(string)

Ex:
#define VAR_STR(var,str) str = #var;

string VarName;
int foo;
VAR_STR(foo, VarName)
cout << VarName << endl; // will print "foo";

I need the reverse.

#define STR_VAR(str,var) var = valueOf(str);

int bar;
STR_VAR(VarName,bar)
cout << bar << endl; // will print the value of foo

someone can help me?
