Your code is correct and the output is correct too. The weird type
name you're seeing is the mangled C++ identifier, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_mangling#Name_mangling_in_C.2B.2B.

Note that by design, the diagnostic_information message is not
intended to be user-friendly. However I will accept any patches that
improve the output from diagnostic_information, not only in terms of
prettifying the mangled names but also including more diagnostic
information, even if it is platform-specific.
