.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
CT
macro returns the runtime type information string of a variable. This is useful in constructing the type parameter of the
TAU_PROFILE
macro. For templates, the type information can be constructed using the type of the return and the type of each of the arguments (parameters) of the template. The example in the following macro will clarify this.
