Function Documentation

template<typename T> type_info_ct const& type_info_of (  void   )  [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() << ')'); }

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).
