Function core::any::type_name

pub fn type_name<T: ?Sized>() -> &'static str

Returns the name of a type as a string slice.

Note

This is intended for diagnostic use. The exact contents and format of the string are not specified, other than being a best-effort description of the type. For example, type_name::<Option<String>>() could return the "Option<String>" or "std::option::Option<std::string::String>", but not "foobar". In addition, the output may change between versions of the compiler.

The type name should not be considered a unique identifier of a type; multiple types may share the same type name.

The current implementation uses the same infrastructure as compiler diagnostics and debuginfo, but this is not guaranteed.
