std::type_info
Defined in header <typeinfo>
class type_info;

The class type_info holds implementation-specific information about a type, including the name of the type and means to compare two types for equality or collating order. This is the class returned by the typeid

The type_info class is neither CopyConstructible nor CopyAssignable

Member functions

(constructor)
[deleted]
 has neither default nor copy constructors
(public member function)
[virtual]
 the virtual destructor makes type_info a polymorphic class
(virtual public member function)
operator=
[deleted]
 can not be copy-assigned
(public member function)
(removed in C++20)
 checks whether the objects refer to the same type
(public member function)
checks whether the referred type precedes referred type of another type_info
object in the implementation defined order, i.e. orders the referred types
(public member function)
(C++11)
 returns a value which is identical for the same types
(public member function)
implementation defined name of the type
(public member function)
