例如:

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

预期的输出:

int

当前回答

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;
}

其他回答

#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>
using namespace std;
#define show_type_name(_t) \
    system(("echo " + string(typeid(_t).name()) + " | c++filt -t").c_str())

int main() {
    auto a = {"one", "two", "three"};
    cout << "Type of a: " << typeid(a).name() << endl;
    cout << "Real type of a:\n";
    show_type_name(a);
    for (auto s : a) {
        if (string(s) == "one") {
            cout << "Type of s: " << typeid(s).name() << endl;
            cout << "Real type of s:\n";
            show_type_name(s);
        }
        cout << s << endl;
    }

    int i = 5;
    cout << "Type of i: " << typeid(i).name() << endl;
    cout << "Real type of i:\n";
    show_type_name(i);
    return 0;
}

输出:

Type of a: St16initializer_listIPKcE
Real type of a:
std::initializer_list<char const*>
Type of s: PKc
Real type of s:
char const*
one
two
three
Type of i: i
Real type of i:
int

c++ 11更新到一个非常老的问题:在c++中打印变量类型。

公认的(好的)答案是使用typeid(a).name(),其中a是变量名。

现在在c++ 11中,我们有了decltype(x),它可以将表达式转换为类型。decltype()有自己的一组非常有趣的规则。例如,decltype(a)和decltype((a))通常是不同的类型(一旦这些原因暴露出来,就会出现良好且可理解的原因)。

我们可信的类型id(a).name()能帮助我们探索这个美丽的新世界吗?

No.

但是这个工具并不复杂。我就是用这个工具来回答这个问题的。我将比较这个新工具与typeid(a).name()。这个新工具实际上构建在typeid(a).name()之上。

根本问题是:

typeid(a).name()

丢弃cv限定符、引用和左值/右值。例如:

const int ci = 0;
std::cout << typeid(ci).name() << '\n';

对于我输出:

i

我猜MSVC的输出:

int

即const消失了。这不是QOI(实施质量)问题。标准要求这种行为。

以下是我的建议:

template <typename T> std::string type_name();

可以这样使用:

const int ci = 0;
std::cout << type_name<decltype(ci)>() << '\n';

对我来说输出:

int const

我还没有在MSVC上测试过这个。但是我欢迎那些喜欢的人给我反馈。

c++ 11解决方案

我对非msvc平台使用__cxa_demangle,这是ipapadop在他对demangle类型的回答中推荐的。但是在MSVC上,我相信typeid需要名称(未经测试)。这个核心包含一些简单的测试,用于检测、恢复和报告cv限定符和对输入类型的引用。

#include <type_traits>
#include <typeinfo>
#ifndef _MSC_VER
#   include <cxxabi.h>
#endif
#include <memory>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>

template <class T>
std::string
type_name()
{
    typedef typename std::remove_reference<T>::type TR;
    std::unique_ptr<char, void(*)(void*)> own
           (
#ifndef _MSC_VER
                abi::__cxa_demangle(typeid(TR).name(), nullptr,
                                           nullptr, nullptr),
#else
                nullptr,
#endif
                std::free
           );
    std::string r = own != nullptr ? own.get() : typeid(TR).name();
    if (std::is_const<TR>::value)
        r += " const";
    if (std::is_volatile<TR>::value)
        r += " volatile";
    if (std::is_lvalue_reference<T>::value)
        r += "&";
    else if (std::is_rvalue_reference<T>::value)
        r += "&&";
    return r;
}

结果

有了这个解决方案,我可以这样做:

int& foo_lref();
int&& foo_rref();
int foo_value();

int
main()
{
    int i = 0;
    const int ci = 0;
    std::cout << "decltype(i) is " << type_name<decltype(i)>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype((i)) is " << type_name<decltype((i))>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype(ci) is " << type_name<decltype(ci)>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype((ci)) is " << type_name<decltype((ci))>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype(static_cast<int&>(i)) is " << type_name<decltype(static_cast<int&>(i))>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype(static_cast<int&&>(i)) is " << type_name<decltype(static_cast<int&&>(i))>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype(static_cast<int>(i)) is " << type_name<decltype(static_cast<int>(i))>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype(foo_lref()) is " << type_name<decltype(foo_lref())>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype(foo_rref()) is " << type_name<decltype(foo_rref())>() << '\n';
    std::cout << "decltype(foo_value()) is " << type_name<decltype(foo_value())>() << '\n';
}

输出为:

decltype(i) is int
decltype((i)) is int&
decltype(ci) is int const
decltype((ci)) is int const&
decltype(static_cast<int&>(i)) is int&
decltype(static_cast<int&&>(i)) is int&&
decltype(static_cast<int>(i)) is int
decltype(foo_lref()) is int&
decltype(foo_rref()) is int&&
decltype(foo_value()) is int

注意(例如)decltype(i)和decltype((i))之间的区别。前者是i声明的类型,后者是表达式i的“类型”(表达式从来没有引用类型,但按照惯例,decltype表示带有左值引用的左值表达式)。

因此,除了探索和调试自己的代码之外,这个工具还是学习decltype的绝佳工具。

相比之下,如果我只是在typeid(a).name()上构建这个,而不添加回丢失的cv-qualifiers或引用,输出将是:

decltype(i) is int
decltype((i)) is int
decltype(ci) is int
decltype((ci)) is int
decltype(static_cast<int&>(i)) is int
decltype(static_cast<int&&>(i)) is int
decltype(static_cast<int>(i)) is int
decltype(foo_lref()) is int
decltype(foo_rref()) is int
decltype(foo_value()) is int

也就是说,所有的引用和简历修饰符都被剥离了。

c++ 14更新

就在你认为自己已经找到了解决问题的办法时,总会有人不知从哪里冒出来,给你展示一个更好的方法。: -)

这个来自Jamboree的回答展示了如何在编译时在c++ 14中获取类型名。这是一个出色的解决方案,原因如下:

它在编译时! 你让编译器本身来做这项工作,而不是一个库(甚至是std::lib)。这意味着对于最新的语言特性(如lambdas)会得到更准确的结果。

Jamboree的答案并没有完全为VS铺开一切,我稍微调整了一下他的代码。但由于这个答案获得了很多点击量,花点时间去那里为他的答案投票,如果没有投票,这个更新就不会发生。

template <class T>
constexpr
std::string_view
type_name()
{
    using namespace std;
#ifdef __clang__
    string_view p = __PRETTY_FUNCTION__;
    return string_view(p.data() + 34, p.size() - 34 - 1);
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
    string_view p = __PRETTY_FUNCTION__;
#  if __cplusplus < 201402
    return string_view(p.data() + 36, p.size() - 36 - 1);
#  else
    return string_view(p.data() + 49, p.find(';', 49) - 49);
#  endif
#elif defined(_MSC_VER)
    string_view p = __FUNCSIG__;
    return string_view(p.data() + 84, p.size() - 84 - 7);
#endif
}

我已经更新了VS的常数,这要感谢Jive Dadson在下面的评论中非常好的侦探工作。

更新:

一定要看看这个重写或下面这个重写,它消除了我最新公式中不可读的神奇数字。

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)`.
}

#define TYPE_NAME(t) template <> struct primitive_type_name<t> {using value = STR_LIT(#t);};

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。

根据Howard的解决方案,如果你不喜欢神奇的数字,我认为这是一种很好的表示方式,看起来很直观:

#include <string_view>

template <typename T>
constexpr auto type_name() {
  std::string_view name, prefix, suffix;
#ifdef __clang__
  name = __PRETTY_FUNCTION__;
  prefix = "auto type_name() [T = ";
  suffix = "]";
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
  name = __PRETTY_FUNCTION__;
  prefix = "constexpr auto type_name() [with T = ";
  suffix = "]";
#elif defined(_MSC_VER)
  name = __FUNCSIG__;
  prefix = "auto __cdecl type_name<";
  suffix = ">(void)";
#endif
  name.remove_prefix(prefix.size());
  name.remove_suffix(suffix.size());
  return name;
}

演示。
