typeid() returns extra characters in g++
- by Appu
class foo
{
public:
void say_type_name()
{
std::cout << typeid(this).name() << std::endl;
}
};
int main()
{
foo f;;
f.say_type_name();
}
Above code prints P3foo on my ubuntu machine with g++. I am not getting why it is printing P3foo instead of just foo. If I change the code like
std::cout << typeid(*this).name() << std::endl;
it prints 3foo.
Any thoughts?
