Storing a type in C++
- by perimosocordiae
Is it possible to store a type name as a C++ variable? For example, like this:
type my_type = int; // or string, or Foo, or any other type
void* data = ...;
my_type* a = (my_type*) data;
I know that 99.9% of the time there's a better way to do what you want without resorting to casting void pointers, but I'm curious if C++ allows this sort of thing.
