This header is part of the type support library.

Classes

type_info	contains some type’s information, the class returned by the typeid operator (class)
bad_typeid	exception that is thrown if an argument in a typeid expression is null (class)
bad_cast	exception that is thrown by an invalid dynamic_cast expression, i.e. a cast of reference type fails (class)
