Thanks!

This seems to work, however looking at the implementation of <typeinfo> I don't see the keyword "typeid" anywhere. Where in the world is it coming from? Is <typeinfo> part of the standard? It's obviously not in STL since it lacks the namespace. I'm a little confused as to where the file comes from, as I've never heard of it before. I'm guessing it is a microsoft specific thing.

Let me know. Thanks again.

Maybe you can try with typeid(t_type).name(), included in <typeinfo>.

Hi,

As you know, with Microsoft VS preprocessor operators you can convert a type passed in to a macro to a string. For example:

#define TO_STRING( type ) #type

I would like to do the same thing with a template type:

template< typename t_type >
void TO_STRING()
{
  // Do something here with t_type to make it a string and then return it
}

Is there something in boost that can facilitate the behavior I'm describing? Thanks.
