 |
|
Hi,
I'm debugging a crash in my application in multi-threaded mode and for
logging I want to get the most derived name of a class instance from
within the virtual method of the base class. Is there a way to do
this?

Yes. You could use typeid(object).name(), or supply each class
with a virtual name() function that returns its name. The former
returns an implementation-defined string, and may or may not be
enough for your logging purpose; check it. In the latter case,
don't forget to supply every class, or the function from the base
class will be silently inherited.
Note that the class has to be polymorphic, but the function itself
that uses the name doesn't have to be a virtual function.
