Variable Types

Is there a macro or function that will return the type of a variable, or at
least varify the type?

There are no macros or functions that will do that. But there might be a way
to do whatever it is you are trying to achieve. Why not explain what you
want, and someone might be able to show you a way to do it in C++.
