Stringifying template arguments

Question

Is it possible in C++ to stringify template arguments? I tried this:

#define STRINGIFY(x) #x

template 
struct Stringify
{
     Stringify()

If you use boost/core/demangle.hpp, you can get a reliable human-readable string.

char const * name = typeid(T).name();
boost::core::scoped_demangled_name demangled( name );

std::cout << (demangled.get() ? demangled.get() : "Failed to demangle") << std::endl;
