The serialization system has a class - extended_type_info which does exactly this. You might not like the way it does it - but there it is. Robert Ramey Chris Just wrote:
Hi, I've been looking through the boost library and I haven't been able to find anything that works like typeid() that returns the exact (i.e. derived) class name instead of just the base class.
I want to compare two derived classes to make sure that they are of the same class, but typeid() only returns the name of the base class.
If there is a boost function that does this, or if someone has a way of doing it could you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Chris Just
