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

This function will return a string representation for the name of the input type T.

If supported by the current platform/compiler combination, the returned string will be a human-readable (i.e., demangled) identifier. Otherwise, a string based on typeid(T).name() will be returned.

Example:

std::cout << type_name<const std::string *>() << '\n'; // Prints "std::string const*" on Linux.

Returns:

a string representation for the type T.

Throws:

unspecified – any exception raised by memory allocation failures.
