[Boost-users] Boost TraitsType Question

Hello, I am writing a function using templates in C++.I want to find the type of variable that is being to the function. I was wondering if I could use the Boost TypeTraits library or is there another library that I can use. I would highly appreciate any help. Thanking in advance.
