type_info

Provides type and function name introspection utilities.

This module provides compile-time introspection of type and function names.

The type name APIs (get_type_name, get_base_type_name) are deprecated; use the methods on Reflected[T] (obtained via reflect[T]()) instead:

reflect[T]().name() - returns the name of a type (replaces get_type_name)
reflect[T]().base_name() - returns the unqualified name of a type's base type (replaces get_base_type_name)
get_function_name[func]() - returns the source name of a function
get_linkage_name[func]() - returns the symbol/linkage name of a function

Example:

from std.reflection import reflect, get_function_name

struct Point:
    var x: Int
    var y: Float64

def my_function():
    pass

def main():
    print(reflect[Point]().name())           # "Point"
    print(get_function_name[my_function]())  # "my_function"

Functions

get_base_type_name: Returns the name of the base type of a parameterized type.
get_function_name: Returns func's name as declared in the source code.
get_linkage_name: Returns func's symbol name.
get_type_name: Returns the struct name of the given type parameter.
