C++中的RTTI(runtime type information) 机制

#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>


using namespace std;

class Shape {
public:
	virtual void Print()=0;
};


class Circle:public Shape {
public:
	virtual void Print() override {
		cout << "this is a Circle" << endl;
	}
};


class Square:public Shape {
public:
	virtual void Print() override {
		cout << "this is a Square" << endl;
	}
};


int main() {
	Shape *s[2];
	s[0] = new Circle;
	s[1] = new Square;
	for(int i=0;i<2; i++) {
		//1.运行时转型，必须含有虚函数virtual,安全向下转型
		//RTTI(runtime type information)
		if(dynamic_cast<Circle*>(s[i])) {
			cout << "hello Circle" << endl;
			s[i]->Print();
		}
		if(dynamic_cast<Square*>(s[i])) {
			cout << "hello Square" << endl;
			s[i]->Print();
		}
	}
	cout << typeid(*s[0]).name() << endl; //typeid是运行时期的事情，也就是动态类型
	cout << typeid(Circle).name() << endl;
	if(typeid(Circle).name() == typeid(*s[0]).name()) {
		cout << "p is point to a Circle object" << endl;
		((Circle*)s[0])->Print();
	}
	
	//type_info ti = typeid(Circle);  //private
	return 0;
}
