<div class="textblock"><p>A template to obtain the type of its argument as a string at compile time. </p>
<p>It works with all classes derived from <a class="el" href="classmrpt_1_1utils_1_1_c_serializable.html" title="The virtual base class which provides a unified interface for all persistent objects in MRPT...">CSerializable</a>, plus many specializations for the plain data types (bool, double, uint8_t, etc...) For example: </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> cout << TTypeName<double>::get() << endl; <span class="comment">// "double"</span>
cout << TTypeName<CPose2D>::get() << endl; <span class="comment">// "CPose2D"</span>
cout << TTypeName<mrpt::slam::COccupancyGridMap2D>::get() << endl; <span class="comment">// "COccupancyGridMap2D"</span>
</pre></div><p>Users can extend this for custom structs/classes with the macro DECLARE_CUSTOM_TTYPENAME: </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"> <span class="keyword">class </span>MyClass { ... };
