SlvDataName

The structure is in charge of providing the static name of a type (std::string). See the examples below.

std::cout << SlvDataName<int>::name() << std::endl;//Output: "int"
std::cout << SlvDataName< std::vector<std::string> >::name() << std::endl;//Output: "std::vector<std::string>"

Use typeid().name()

The default behaviour if no specialization exists is to use typeid(T).name(). Caution in this case, the name may differ depending on the compiler.

struct Foo {};

std::cout << SlvDataName<Foo>::name() << std::endl;//Output: "struct Foo"

For safety, it is rather recommended to use one of the following methods.

Use type static name

If the type T has the method static std::string name()implemented, then the method is used:

struct Foo {
    static std::string name() {
        return "Foo";
    }
};

std::cout << SlvDataName<Foo>::name() << std::endl;//Output: "Foo"

Use structure specialization

It is also possible to specialize the structure directly. The following specializations are available below. The bold lines correspond to specialization that are included by default in SlvDataName.
