Is it possible to get the name of a C++ class, "extern(C++) class Foo {}", at runtime just as it's possible to do the same for a D class, like "object.classinfo.name"?

Maybe with a template?

----
void class_name(T)(T obj) if (is(T == class)) {
	writeln(T.stringof);	
}

I want the string of the runtime type, the most derived type.

Is this what you are looking for? I don't think you can do this in D-land, but you can probably hook it from C++:
