| Yes | Yes |
Usage
The mi_typeid_is_distinct() function
determines if the data type in the type identifier that typeid_ptr references
is a distinct data type.
Important: The type identifier
is an opaque structure. Do not access its value directly. To determine
if a type identifier contains a distinct data type, always use mi_typeid_is_distinct().
Return values
- MI_TRUE
- The type identifier that typeid_ptr references is a distinct data type.
- MI_FALSE
- The type identifier that typeid_ptr references is not a distinct data type.
