std::type_info

Defined in header <typeinfo>
class type_info;

The class type_info holds implementation-specific information about a type, including the name of the type and means to compare two types for equality or collating order. This is the class returned by the typeid operator.

The type_info class is neither CopyConstructible nor CopyAssignable.
