## std_rtti

### Synopsis

Defined in <boost/openmethod/policies/std_rtti.hpp>.

```c++
namespace boost::openmethod::policies {

struct std_rtti : rtti {
    template<class Class>
    static auto static_type() -> type_id;

    template<class Class>
    static auto dynamic_type(const Class& obj) -> type_id;

    template<typename Stream>
    static auto type_name(type_id type, Stream& stream) -> void;

    static auto type_index(type_id type) -> std::type_index;

    template<typename D, typename B>
    static auto dynamic_cast_ref(B&& obj) -> D;
};

} // boost::openmethod::policies
```

### Description

`std_rtti` is an implementation of the `rtti` policy that uses standard RTTI.

### Members

#### static_type

```c++
template<class Class>
static auto static_type() -> type_id;
```

Return the address of `Class`'s `type_info`, cast to a `type_id`.

#### dynamic_type

```c++
template<class Class>
static auto dynamic_type(const Class& obj) -> type_id;
```

Return the address of `obj`{empty}'s `type_info`, cast to a `type_id`.

#### type_name

```c++
template<typename Stream>
static auto type_name(type_id type, Stream& stream) -> void;
```

Write the demangled name of the class identified by `type` to `stream`.
Execute `stream << reinterpret_cast<const std::type_info*>(type)->name()`.

#### type_index

```c++
static auto type_index(type_id type) -> /*unspecified*/;
```

Return `std::type_index(*reinterpret_cast<const std::type_info*>(type))`.

The function is required because C++ does *not* guarantee that there is a single
instance of `std::type_info` for each specific type.

#### dynamic_cast_ref

```c++
template<typename Derived, typename Base>
static auto dynamic_cast_ref(Base&& obj) -> Derived;
```

Cast `obj` using the `dynamic_cast` operator.
