Hello, in my c++ program I have the following "block":
#if defined __GNUC__ && defined NOT_PEDANTIC
typedef unsigned long long inttype;
#elif defined _MSC_VER
typedef unsigned __int64 inttype;
#else
typedef unsigned long inttype;
#endif
I'm wondering if there's a way, without resorting to the preprocessor,
to print the actual type (its name) of inttype when the program is
running? In the meantime I'm printing what
numeric_limits< inttype>::max() returns to give some hint.

Since you're already relying on the preprocessor, why do you object to
using it? Just add a string literal to each branch of your if ladder.

First off, there is no "long long" (signed or not) in C++. There is
no __int64 in C++ either.
You could try using 'typeid(express ion).name()' to get the string
that contains the implementation' s best approximation to the type of
the expression. I tried it with VC++ v8, and it gives back the actual
type.
There is no clean way in C++ language itself, though, since the 'name'
member of 'std::typeinfo' is allowed to return an empty string.

I know, that's why I'm using the preprocessor to activate compiler

I see, I will try it and see what happens on the other compilers I'm
targeting. VC++ v8 is one of them so at least I get the desired output
under that compiler it seems.

Ah, good idea, I didn't think of that. I was trying to avoid using the
preprocessor again around the cout-statements and with your solution I
will avoid having to do just that. But I will try Victor's suggestion
as well just to see what happens. Thanks for your help and your quick
replies!

There's neither of them in *standard* C++, but since long long
is part of C90, and will be part of the next version of C++,
it's pretty much universal today, and can be considered "C++"
(but you'll need -Wno-long-long to get it with g++).
You could try using 'typeid(express ion).name()' to get the
string that contains the implementation' s best approximation
to the type of the expression. I tried it with VC++ v8, and
it gives back the actual type.
VC++ tries to do something useful with it. So does Sun CC.
G++, on the other hand, returns the string it uses when mangling
names, which is usually pretty useless. (For a long long, I get
"x".)
There is no clean way in C++ language itself, though, since
the 'name' member of 'std::typeinfo' is allowed to return an
empty string.
Or gibberish. Some compilers have decided that gibberish is the
way to go.

I believe the point is that it's the same gibberish every time for
the same type. Furthermore, if it's "x" for 'long long', then it
is going to be "x" for a typedefed synonym of 'long long'. That's
*relatively* useful.

You could use int_least64_t and/or int_fast64_t from cstdint.

I know that there are a few implementations out there that actually writes

such an implementation. Such a modification can be easily made: simply
remove the deployment information from the WSDL file by deleting the Service
Element. By doing that, one now has a pure Web service interface

I'm writing some cross-platform code and I invite the developer to

unsigned. So far, I make sure this is so with:

Yes, this does the trick, but I'm just wondering if anyone here has a
better way of doing it.

There is a very brief discussion about this in K&R ( p146). Googling

not to hide pointers behind typedefs.
