In scenario like this, I've putted pseudo function GetRTTI().
How can I detect in the runtime the actual(derived) class type?
class the_base
{
};
class A : public the_base
{
};
class B : public the_base
{
};
class C : public the_base
{
};
...
the_base* pList[] = { new A(), new B(), new C());
C* pTarget = nullptr;
if(pList[2]->GetRTTI("C"))//detecting the actual type
{
pTarget = dynamic_cast< C* >(pList[2]);//casting to the type
}
//using pTarget
...

The class type or the class name? Is typeid() of any help?

Class name would be good.
But indeed doesnt matter, I have to somehow detect the actual class for the further casting.
Thanks.

I think that at runtime, you will have to use the (slow) dynamic_cast or have the classes know their types via a ID of some sort.
