Hello, I'm looking for a type_info wrapper similar to the one described in Alexandrescu's Modern C++ design and wondered if Boost contained one that wasn't in the implementation detail area of another library? My Googling shows there's been a demand for this in the past and wonder if it had been done? Regards, Pete

The serialization library contains "extended_type_info" in boost/serialization/extended_typeinfo.hpp its documented as part of the serialization library. Robert Ramey Peter Barker wrote:

Thanks Robert. I've decided to take the TypeInfo from Loki on this occasion as using part of the serialization library to get at the wrapper doesn't seem right to me especially as I'm not using serialization anywhere in my application. Regards, Pete

Look in boost/python/type_id.hpp and its corresponding documentation. Regards, Ravi
