How do you do a typeid(obj) to get the most derived class that it is, or string?

class A {

}

class B : A {

}

class C : B {

}

void main() {
     auto b = new B();

     assert(typeid(b) == typeid(B));

     // Or, if you have the type without an object (e.g. in templated code)
     assert(typeid(typeof(b)) == typeid(B));
}
