Function Documentation

◆ GetFullTypeName()

template<typename T>

std::string_view Raven::ReflectionUtils::GetFullTypeName ( )

inlineconstexpr

Retrieve the compiler-generated function signature containing the type name.

Returns a compiler-specific string describing the instantiation context of this function. The exact format, spelling, and qualifiers are not standardized and may change between compilers, compiler versions, or build configurations.

Template Parameters

T	The type to retrieve the name for.

Returns: Compiler-specific full type name.

Warning: The returned value is not stable across compiler updates.

◆ GetTypeName()

template<typename T>

std::string_view Raven::ReflectionUtils::GetTypeName ( )

inlineconstexpr

Extract a human-readable type name.

This function derives a readable type name by slicing the compiler-generated signature returned by GetFullTypeName<T>(). It relies on the relative position of a known anchor type (void) to determine prefix and suffix offsets.

This approach assumes:

The compiler emits type names in a consistent format
The formatting of void matches that of other types
The same compiler and flags are used across the entire build

Note: This is a best-effort utility. The resulting name is suitable for debugging, editor tooling, and internal reflection, but not for long-term storage or binary interfaces.
