typeinfo(3)

✨ typeinfo(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual — yes, that's the manual, and we're literally about to read it together 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

typeinfo — (that's it. that's the whole name line. the manpage said nothing else, so neither will I, no cap 😭)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

💅 Classes

• class std::bad_cast — thrown when somebody does a bad, incorrect typecast. literally the "you tried to cast and it did NOT work" exception 🫶
  • so like, if you attempt an invalid dynamic_cast expression, an instance of this class — or something derived from this class, bestie, so don't assume it's always the exact one — gets thrown. that's the vibe. 💀
• class std::bad_typeid — thrown when a NULL pointer gets used in a typeid expression. not the moment 🙈
• class std::type_info — part of RTTI. icon behavior, honestly 👑

🦋 Namespaces

• namespace std — the house everything lives in 🏠

⭐ Defines

• #define __GXX_MERGED_TYPEINFO_NAMES
• #define __GXX_TYPEINFO_EQUALITY_INLINE

(yes, both of them, character for character, I would never do you dirty like that 💜)

---

🔥 Detailed Description 🔥

This is a Standard C++ Library header. slay. that's the whole description, and honestly? it ate. ✨

Definition in file typeinfo — that's where the definition lives, bestie, write it down 🎀

🌈 Author 🌈

Generated automatically by Doxygen for libstdc++ from the source code. so not a human, just a very earnest robot doing its little documentation thing 🧚

fr fr, that's everything — nothing skipped, nothing invented, just the whole page with way more sparkle 💅

okay bye bestie, go cast something responsibly 🦋
