Hello,
I'm sure this functionality exists, however having a real hard time finding the
answer.
How to you query the type of an object?
>From what I've been trying, type() only seems to work for primitive types.
I've also tried to find the answer in "Nim in Action".
In my search I also found the module typetraits, however name() doesn't seem to
work either.
For example:
import strutils, typetraits, unicode
type
Token = object of RootObj
Integer = ref object of Token
String = ref object of Token
let d = Integer()
let c = String()
echo name(d)
Run
Gives:
main.nim(17, 10) Error: type mismatch: got (Integer)
but expected one of:
proc name(t: typedesc): string
exit status 1
Run
