Function Documentation

type_info_of() [1/2]

template<typename T >

type_info_ct const& libcwd::type_info_of ( )

inline

Get type information of a given class or type.

This specialization allows to specify a type without an object (for example by calling: type_info_of<int const>()).

As it doesn't ignore top-level qualifiers it is best suited to print for example template parameters.  For example,

template<typename T>
  void Foo::func(T const&)
  {
    Dout(dc::notice, "Calling Foo::func(" << type_info_of<T const&>().demangled_name() << ')');
  }

type_info_of() [2/2]

template<typename T >

type_info_ct const& libcwd::type_info_of ( T const &  )

inline

Get type information of a given class instance.

This template is used by passing an object to it, top level CV-qualifiers (and a possible reference) are ignored in the same way as does typeid() (see 5.2.8 Type identification of the ISO C++ standard).
