I have not tested it, but when looking at the test case and also on the code I couldn't help but ask myself how it handles other derivations. How does it display the types of the variables us, s and ss in the following code: --- #include <string> typedef std::basic_string<unsigned char> ustring; ustring us; std::string s; std::basic_string<signed char> ss; --- I would expect it to say std::basic_string<unsigned char,...>, std::string and std::basic_string<signed char,...>, but I thought a test case here couldn't hurt? /MF
