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;

}

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*"; }

考虑下面的代码:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int a = 2; // Declare type "int"
    std::string b = "Hi"; // Declare type "string"
    long double c = 3438; // Declare type "long double"
    if(typeid(a) == typeid(int))
    {
        std::cout<<"int\n";
    }

    if(typeid(b) == typeid(std::string))
    {
        std::cout<<"string\n";
    }
    
    if(typeid(c) == typeid(long double))
    {
        std::cout<<"long double";
    }
    return 0;
}

我相信你想要整个单词(而不是只打印int的缩写形式(即I)，你想要int)，这就是为什么我做了if。

对于一些变量(字符串，long double等…)比较它们的简写形式不会输出预期的结果)，您需要将应用typeid操作符的结果与特定类型的typeid进行比较。

从cppreference:

返回一个实现定义的以空结束的字符串，包含类型的名称。不提供任何保证;特别地，返回的字符串对于多个类型是相同的，并且在同一个程序的调用之间会发生变化。

在我看来，Python在这种情况下比c++更好。Python有内置的type函数，可以直接访问变量的数据类型。

Howard Hinnant使用魔法数字提取类型名称。康桓瑋建议字符串前缀和后缀。但是前缀/后缀一直在变化。 使用" probe_type " type_name自动计算" probe_type "的前缀和后缀大小，以提取类型名称:

#include <string_view>
using namespace std;

namespace typeName {
 template <typename T>
  constexpr string_view wrapped_type_name () {
#ifdef __clang__
    return __PRETTY_FUNCTION__;
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
    return  __PRETTY_FUNCTION__;
#elif defined(_MSC_VER)
    return  __FUNCSIG__;
#endif
  }

  class probe_type;
  constexpr string_view probe_type_name ("typeName::probe_type");
  constexpr string_view probe_type_name_elaborated ("class typeName::probe_type");
  constexpr string_view probe_type_name_used (wrapped_type_name<probe_type> ().find (probe_type_name_elaborated) != -1 ? probe_type_name_elaborated : probe_type_name);

  constexpr size_t prefix_size () {
    return wrapped_type_name<probe_type> ().find (probe_type_name_used);
  }

  constexpr size_t suffix_size () {
    return wrapped_type_name<probe_type> ().length () - prefix_size () - probe_type_name_used.length ();
  }

  template <typename T>
  string_view type_name () {
    constexpr auto type_name = wrapped_type_name<T> ();

    return type_name.substr (prefix_size (), type_name.length () - prefix_size () - suffix_size ());
  }
}

#include <iostream>

using typeName::type_name;
using typeName::probe_type;

class test;

int main () {
  cout << type_name<class test> () << endl;

  cout << type_name<const int*&> () << endl;
  cout << type_name<unsigned int> () << endl;

  const int ic = 42;
  const int* pic = &ic;
  const int*& rpic = pic;
  cout << type_name<decltype(ic)> () << endl;
  cout << type_name<decltype(pic)> () << endl;
  cout << type_name<decltype(rpic)> () << endl;

  cout << type_name<probe_type> () << endl;
}

输出

gcc 10.2:

test
const int *&
unsigned int
const int
const int *
const int *&
typeName::probe_type

铿锵声11.0.0:

test
const int *&
unsigned int
const int
const int *
const int *&
typeName::probe_type

VS 2019版本16.7.6:

class test
const int*&
unsigned int
const int
const int*
const int*&
class typeName::probe_type

基于之前的一些答案，我做出了这个解决方案，它不将__PRETTY_FUNCTION__的结果存储在二进制文件中。它使用静态数组保存类型名称的字符串表示形式。

它需要c++ 23。

#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
#include <array>

template <typename T>
constexpr auto type_name() {
    auto gen = [] <class R> () constexpr -> std::string_view  {
        return __PRETTY_FUNCTION__;
    };
    constexpr std::string_view search_type = "float";
    constexpr auto search_type_string = gen.template operator()<float>();
    constexpr auto prefix = search_type_string.find(search_type);
    constexpr auto suffix = search_type_string.size() - prefix - search_type.size();
    constexpr auto str = gen.template operator()<T>();
    constexpr int size = str.size() - prefix - suffix;
    constexpr auto static arr = [&]<std::size_t... I>(std::index_sequence<I...>) constexpr {
        return std::array<char, size>{str[prefix + I]...};
    } (std::make_index_sequence<size>{});

    return std::string_view(arr.data(), size);
}

当我提出挑战时，我决定测试一下与平台无关的模板技巧能走多远。

名称在编译时完全组装。(这意味着不能使用typeid(T).name()，因此必须显式地为非复合类型提供名称。否则将显示占位符。)

使用示例:

TYPE_NAME(int)
TYPE_NAME(void)
// You probably should list all primitive types here.

TYPE_NAME(std::string)

int main()
{
    // A simple case
    std::cout << type_name<void(*)(int)> << '\n';
    // -> `void (*)(int)`

    // Ugly mess case
    // Note that compiler removes cv-qualifiers from parameters and replaces arrays with pointers.
    std::cout << type_name<void (std::string::*(int[3],const int, void (*)(std::string)))(volatile int*const*)> << '\n';
    // -> `void (std::string::*(int *,int,void (*)(std::string)))(volatile int *const*)`

    // A case with undefined types
    //  If a type wasn't TYPE_NAME'd, it's replaced by a placeholder, one of `class?`, `union?`, `enum?` or `??`.
    std::cout << type_name<std::ostream (*)(int, short)> << '\n';
    // -> `class? (*)(int,??)`
    // With appropriate TYPE_NAME's, the output would be `std::string (*)(int,short)`.
}
