std::type_info
Member functions type_info::~type_info type_info::operator== type_info::operator!= type_info::before type_info::hash_code (C++11) type_info::name

Defined in header <typeinfo>
class type_info;

The class type_info holds implementation-specific information about a type, including the name of the type and means to compare two types for equality or collating order. This is the class returned by the typeid operator.

The type_info class is noncopyable.

[edit] Member functions

(constructor) [deleted]	has neither default nor copy constructors (public member function)
(destructor) [virtual]	derived objects are safe to delete through pointer-to-base (virtual public member function)
operator= [deleted]	can not be copy-assigned (public member function)
operator== operator!=	checks whether the objects refer to the same type (public member function)
before	checks whether the referred type precedes referred type of another type_index object in the implementation defined order, i.e. orders the referred types (public member function)
hash_code (C++11)	returns a value which is the identical for the same types (public member function)
name	implementation defined name of the type (public member function)

type_index (C++11)	wrapper around a type_info object, that can be used as index in associative and unordered associative containers (class)
