Type information type
An object of this class is returned by the
typeid operator (as a const-qualified lvalue). Although its actual dynamic type may be of a derived class.It can be used to compare two types or to retrieve information identifying a type.
typeid can be applied to any type or any expression that has a type.If applied to a reference type (lvalue), the type_info returned identifies the referenced type. Any
const or volatile qualified type is identified as its unqualified equivalent. A
typedef type is considered the same as its aliased type.When
typeid is applied to a reference or dereferenced pointer to an object of a polymorphic class type (a class declaring or inheriting a virtual function), it considers its dynamic type (i.e., the type of the most derived object). This requires the RTTI (Run-time type information) to be available.When
typeid is applied to a dereferenced null pointer, a bad_typeid exception is thrown.The lifetime of the object returned by
typeid extends to the end of the program.
The copy and assignment operators of
type_info are private: objects of this type cannot be copied.
