非常丑陋，但如果你只想要编译时信息(例如调试):

auto testVar = std::make_tuple(1, 1.0, "abc");
decltype(testVar)::foo= 1;

返回:

Compilation finished with errors:
source.cpp: In function 'int main()':
source.cpp:5:19: error: 'foo' is not a member of 'std::tuple<int, double, const char*>'

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

#include <iostream>


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

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

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”。

在c++ 11中，我们有decltype。在标准c++中，没有办法显示使用decltype声明的变量的确切类型。我们可以使用boost typeindex，即type_id_with_cvr (cvr代表const, volatile, reference)来打印如下所示的类型。

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/type_index.hpp>

using namespace std;
using boost::typeindex::type_id_with_cvr;

int main() {
  int i = 0;
  const int ci = 0;
  cout << "decltype(i) is " << type_id_with_cvr<decltype(i)>().pretty_name() << '\n';
  cout << "decltype((i)) is " << type_id_with_cvr<decltype((i))>().pretty_name() << '\n';
  cout << "decltype(ci) is " << type_id_with_cvr<decltype(ci)>().pretty_name() << '\n';
  cout << "decltype((ci)) is " << type_id_with_cvr<decltype((ci))>().pretty_name() << '\n';
  cout << "decltype(std::move(i)) is " << type_id_with_cvr<decltype(std::move(i))>().pretty_name() << '\n';
  cout << "decltype(std::static_cast<int&&>(i)) is " << type_id_with_cvr<decltype(static_cast<int&&>(i))>().pretty_name() << '\n';
  return 0;
}

Try:

#include <typeinfo>

// …
std::cout << typeid(a).name() << '\n';

您可能必须在编译器选项中激活RTTI才能使其工作。此外，它的输出取决于编译器。它可能是一个原始类型名称或名称混乱符号或介于两者之间的任何东西。

正如Scott Meyers在《Effective Modern c++》中所解释的那样，

对std::type_info::name的调用不能保证返回任何有意义的东西。

最好的解决方案是让编译器在类型推断期间生成错误消息，例如:

template<typename T>
class TD;

int main(){
    const int theAnswer = 32;
    auto x = theAnswer;
    auto y = &theAnswer;
    TD<decltype(x)> xType;
    TD<decltype(y)> yType;
    return 0;
}

根据不同的编译器，结果会是这样的:

test4.cpp:10:21: error: aggregate ‘TD<int> xType’ has incomplete type and cannot be defined TD<decltype(x)> xType;

test4.cpp:11:21: error: aggregate ‘TD<const int *> yType’ has incomplete type and cannot be defined TD<decltype(y)> yType;

因此，我们知道x的类型是int, y的类型是const int*
