Detailed Description

TypeInfo is a reference wrapper class for the C++ native type_info class. It allows comparison using the C++ intrinsic type_info::before() function and is suitable as keys for a map template.

Usage especcially for constructing a maps between C++ data types to some type-specific objects:

map<TypeInfo, int> TypeMap;

TypeMap[ typeid(int) ] = 45;
