Class type_info is the type of the object that is returned by the <a href="../keywords/typeid.html" class="wikilink1" title="keywords:typeid">typeid</a> expression. It provides implementation specific type information. The type name provided and collation sequence are implementation defined, and may vary between programs even when using the same compiler.
