mrpt::utils::TTypeName< T > Struct Template Reference

Detailed Description

template<typename T>
struct mrpt::utils::TTypeName< T >

A template to obtain the type of its argument as a string at compile time.

It works with all classes derived from CSerializable, plus many specializations for the plain data types (bool, double, uint8_t, etc...) For example:

cout << TTypeName<double>::get() << endl;                          // "double"
    cout << TTypeName<CPose2D>::get() << endl;                         // "CPose2D"
    cout << TTypeName<mrpt::slam::COccupancyGridMap2D>::get() << endl; // "COccupancyGridMap2D"

Users can extend this for custom structs/classes with the macro DECLARE_CUSTOM_TTYPENAME:

class MyClass { ... };
DECLARE_CUSTOM_TTYPENAME(MyClass)
cout << TTypeName<MyClass>::get() << endl;                          // "MyClass"

The following types are NOT ALLOWED since they have platform-dependant sizes:

• int, unsigned int
• long, unsigned long
• short, unsigned short
• size_t
