Typenameof Type

typenameof can be used to get the name of a compile-time type as a C-String.

typenameof Type

Result Type

The resulting value will be a *ubyte null-terminated string.

Usage Example

import basics

struct Thing ()

func main {
    thing *Thing = null

    printNameOfType(thing)
}

func printNameOfType(_something *$T) {
    printf("You passed a pointer to %s\n", typenameof $T)
}

You passed a pointer to Thing

Note

As opposed to older methods of using RTTI for the same effect, the usage of typenameof does not require runtime type information to be enabled.
