For logging and debugging it can be extremely useful to get a string for the name of a type in C++. However, the standard library doesn't supply a great way of doing that. We don't want to use the standard typeid operator, std::type_info, or std::typ...
In Part I of this blog series, we covered how to convert our type name to a string, how to safely store type-erased objects, and how to handle trivial types (AnyTrivial). In Part II we covered how to manage type-erased storage of general types (AnyOb...
In Part I of this blog series, we covered how to get a string with our type name, how to safely store type-erased objects, and how to handle trivial types. Now we'll cover how to handle type-erased storage of general types (AnyObject): ones whose cop...
Type erasure is where the type of an object is hidden so that the object can be utilized in a type-independent manner. Type erasure is extremely useful in several scenarios, including heterogeneous containers (containers that store objects of differe...
