#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <typeinfo> // operator typeid, std::bad_typeid
class Polymorphic {virtual void Member(){}};
int main () {
try
{
Polymorphic * pb = 0;
std::cout << typeid(*pb).name();
}
catch (std::bad_typeid& bt)
{
std::cerr << "bad_typeid caught: " << bt.what() << '\n';
}
return 0;
}
