Re: [Boost-users] Template type to constant string

Thanks! This seems to work, however looking at the implementation of <typeinfo> I don't see the keyword "typeid" anywhere. Where in the world is it coming from? Is <typeinfo> part of the standard? It's obviously not in STL since it lacks the namespace. I'm a little confused as to where the file comes from, as I've never heard of it before. I'm guessing it is a microsoft specific thing. Let me know. Thanks again. On 11/5/07, Olivier Tournaire wrote:

Maybe you can try with typeid(t_type).name(), included in <typeinfo>.

Hi,

As you know, with Microsoft VS preprocessor operators you can convert a type passed in to a macro to a string. For example:

#define TO_STRING( type ) #type

I would like to do the same thing with a template type:

template< typename t_type > void TO_STRING() { // Do something here with t_type to make it a string and then return it }

Is there something in boost that can facilitate the behavior I'm describing? Thanks.
