Replacement for _stdlib_getDemangledTypeName() in Swift 2.2

Question

The latest release of Swift 2.2 removes _stdlib_getDemangledTypeName().

What are my options to replace this?

I'm currently using in debug messages like this:

let debugStr = "\(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(self)) -> \(self.versionString) (\(self.versionInfo))"

Answer 1

You can get pretty descriptions of type names through the String initialiser. This should suffice as a replacement for _stdlib_getDemangledTypeName.

Example:

String(self.dynamicType)
