How to get class name?

Question

If I defined a class:

class Blah {};

How can I:

std::string const className = /* What do I need to do here? */;
assert( cla         


        

Answer 1

Like this:

class Blah { static std::string const className() { return "Blah"; }};

std::string const name = Blah::className();
assert(name == "Blah");

Or this:

class Blah {};

template < typename T > struct name;
template < > struct name { static std::string value() { return "Blah"; }};

std::string const classname = name::value();
assert(classname == "Blah");

Fancier:

#define DECLARE_NAMED_CLASS( Name ) \
struct Name;\
template < > struct name { static std::string value() { return #Name; }};\
struct Name

DECLARE_NAMED_CLASS(Blah) {};
std::string const className = name::value();
...

Or this:

class Blah : QObject { Q_OBJECT };

Or this:... Or this: ...
