Detailed Description

A class that represents a C++ type.

The class consists of a string uniquely identifying the type it represents. This string is retrieved from a C++ type_info object. This allows a C++ type to be used as a first-class object. Type objects can be created from both a statically defined type via the templatized method Type::of<>() or from the dynamic type of an object via a constructor or the Type::of() method. In order for the dynamic type of an object to be determined, at least one class in its inheritance hierarchy must have a virtual method.
