cout << typeid(*p).name() << ‘\n’; // Standard requires
// access to the name
// of the type.
}
The standard requires the class type_info to be polymorphic. You cannot assign or copy instances
of the class (the copy constructor and assignment operators are private). The interface must include:
int operator == (const type_info&) const
int operator !=( const type_info&) const
const char * name() const
int before (const type_info&) const
The operators allow comparison of object types. The name function allows access to the character
string representing the name of the object. The before function allows types to be sorted. This
allows them to be accessed through hash tables. The before function is not a lexical ordering; it
might not yield the same results. The name function now returns the mangled name of a type as
per the C++ ABI.
