std::string oomph::TypeNames::get_type_name

(

T &

)

Get the type name of an object. Only for use in debugging, do not write real code using this function as it is implementation dependant!

      using namespace StringConversion;
 
      int status;
      std::string typestr =
        to_string(abi::__cxa_demangle(typeid(obj).name(), 0, 0, &status));
 
      // Throw if there was an error
      if (status != 0)
      {
        std::string err = "Error code " + to_string(status) +
                          " in demangler, see documentation of "
                          "abi::__cxa_demangle for the meaning";

          err, OOMPH_CURRENT_FUNCTION, OOMPH_EXCEPTION_LOCATION);

get_type_name() [2/2]

template<class T >

std::string oomph::TypeNames::get_type_name

(

T *

obj

)

Get the type name of an object from a pointer to the object (we usually want the type of the object itself not the pointer because the type of the pointer may be a base class). Only for use in debugging, do not write real code using this function as it is implementation dependant!

    {
      return get_type_name(*obj);
    }
