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

Testing a class by looking at it's name sounds awfully like a Java style approach to me, and in C++, you should be wary of trying to apply the same patterns! A better way would be to use something like boost::type_traits, and may be is_same, with the real class name.
