例如:

int a = 12;
cout << typeof(a) << endl;

预期的输出:

int

当前回答

如前所述,typeid().name()可能返回一个错误的名称。在GCC(和其他一些编译器)中,你可以使用以下代码来解决它:

#include <cxxabi.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>
#include <cstdlib>

namespace some_namespace { namespace another_namespace {

  class my_class { };

} }

int main() {
  typedef some_namespace::another_namespace::my_class my_type;
  // mangled
  std::cout << typeid(my_type).name() << std::endl;

  // unmangled
  int status = 0;
  char* demangled = abi::__cxa_demangle(typeid(my_type).name(), 0, 0, &status);

  switch (status) {
    case -1: {
      // could not allocate memory
      std::cout << "Could not allocate memory" << std::endl;
      return -1;
    } break;
    case -2: {
      // invalid name under the C++ ABI mangling rules
      std::cout << "Invalid name" << std::endl;
      return -1;
    } break;
    case -3: {
      // invalid argument
      std::cout << "Invalid argument to demangle()" << std::endl;
      return -1;
    } break;
 }
 std::cout << demangled << std::endl;

 free(demangled);

 return 0;

}

其他回答

对于一些不同的东西,这里有一个类型的“To English”转换,解构每个限定符、范围、参数等等,递归地构建描述类型的字符串,我认为“演绎这个”建议将有助于减少许多特殊化。无论如何,这是一个有趣的晨练,尽管过度膨胀。:)

struct X {
    using T = int *((*)[10]);
    T f(T, const unsigned long long * volatile * );
};

int main() {

    std::cout << describe<decltype(&X::f)>() << std::endl;
}

输出:

pointer to member function of class 1X taking (pointer to array[10]
of pointer to int, pointer to volatile pointer to const unsigned 
long long), and returning pointer to array[10] of pointer to int

涉及RTTI (typeid)的其他答案可能是您想要的,只要:

您可以承担内存开销(对于某些编译器,这可能相当大) 编译器返回的类名很有用

另一种选择(类似于Greg Hewgill的答案)是建立一个特征的编译时表。

template <typename T> struct type_as_string;

// declare your Wibble type (probably with definition of Wibble)
template <>
struct type_as_string<Wibble>
{
    static const char* const value = "Wibble";
};

注意,如果你将声明包装在宏中,你将在声明带有多个参数的模板类型时遇到麻烦(例如std::map),这是由于逗号的原因。

要访问变量类型的名称,您所需要的是

template <typename T>
const char* get_type_as_string(const T&)
{
    return type_as_string<T>::value;
}

如前所述,typeid().name()可能返回一个错误的名称。在GCC(和其他一些编译器)中,你可以使用以下代码来解决它:

#include <cxxabi.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>
#include <cstdlib>

namespace some_namespace { namespace another_namespace {

  class my_class { };

} }

int main() {
  typedef some_namespace::another_namespace::my_class my_type;
  // mangled
  std::cout << typeid(my_type).name() << std::endl;

  // unmangled
  int status = 0;
  char* demangled = abi::__cxa_demangle(typeid(my_type).name(), 0, 0, &status);

  switch (status) {
    case -1: {
      // could not allocate memory
      std::cout << "Could not allocate memory" << std::endl;
      return -1;
    } break;
    case -2: {
      // invalid name under the C++ ABI mangling rules
      std::cout << "Invalid name" << std::endl;
      return -1;
    } break;
    case -3: {
      // invalid argument
      std::cout << "Invalid argument to demangle()" << std::endl;
      return -1;
    } break;
 }
 std::cout << demangled << std::endl;

 free(demangled);

 return 0;

}

您可以使用模板。

template <typename T> const char* typeof(T&) { return "unknown"; }    // default
template<> const char* typeof(int&) { return "int"; }
template<> const char* typeof(float&) { return "float"; }

在上面的例子中,当类型不匹配时,它将打印“unknown”。

我喜欢Nick的方法,一个完整的表单可能是这样的(对于所有基本数据类型):

template <typename T> const char* typeof(T&) { return "unknown"; }    // default
template<> const char* typeof(int&) { return "int"; }
template<> const char* typeof(short&) { return "short"; }
template<> const char* typeof(long&) { return "long"; }
template<> const char* typeof(unsigned&) { return "unsigned"; }
template<> const char* typeof(unsigned short&) { return "unsigned short"; }
template<> const char* typeof(unsigned long&) { return "unsigned long"; }
template<> const char* typeof(float&) { return "float"; }
template<> const char* typeof(double&) { return "double"; }
template<> const char* typeof(long double&) { return "long double"; }
template<> const char* typeof(std::string&) { return "String"; }
template<> const char* typeof(char&) { return "char"; }
template<> const char* typeof(signed char&) { return "signed char"; }
template<> const char* typeof(unsigned char&) { return "unsigned char"; }
template<> const char* typeof(char*&) { return "char*"; }
template<> const char* typeof(signed char*&) { return "signed char*"; }
template<> const char* typeof(unsigned char*&) { return "unsigned char*"; }
