std::type_index(3cxx)

okay so this page is std::type_index from the libstdc++ manual, section 3cxx — pull up a chair bestie, we're wrapping a type. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::type_index — literally the class type_index. That's the name, and it's giving “small but mighty.” ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, include the header:

#include <typeindex>

🎀 Public Member Functions 🎀

• type_index (const type_info &__rhs) noexcept — builds a type_index from the const type_info &__rhs, and yes it's noexcept, no cap.
• size_t hash_code () const noexcept — gives you back a size_t hash code, const noexcept, slay.
• const char * name () const noexcept — hands you the name as a const char *, const noexcept, iconic.
• bool operator!= (const type_index &__rhs) const noexcept — the not-equal check against __rhs, returns bool, const noexcept.
• bool operator< (const type_index &__rhs) const noexcept — the less-than check against __rhs, returns bool, const noexcept.
• bool operator<= (const type_index &__rhs) const noexcept — the less-than-or-equal check against __rhs, returns bool, const noexcept.
• bool operator== (const type_index &__rhs) const noexcept — the equality check against __rhs, returns bool, const noexcept.
• bool operator> (const type_index &__rhs) const noexcept — the greater-than check against __rhs, returns bool, const noexcept.
• bool operator>= (const type_index &__rhs) const noexcept — the greater-than-or-equal check against __rhs, returns bool, const noexcept.

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Class type_index.

The class type_index provides a simple wrapper for type_info which can be used as an index type in associative containers (23.6) and in unordered associative containers (23.7). That's the whole vibe: a cute lil wrapper so type_info can sit in associative containers and unordered associative containers as an index type. Lowkey iconic. 🔥

kisses from the libstdc++ girlies 💖 — source/version: libstdc++, page: std::type_index(3cxx), and the footer didn't show a date, so no invented date, periodt. 🌈
