Hello!  I would like to know whether it is possible to check the data type
in the template constructs.  What I want to do can be described roughly
as follows:

template <class DT>
void f(DT x)
{
 switch (datatype of(DT)) // check what the actual DT is in the calling prog.
  {
   case "int":
     task_int(x);
     break;
   case "float":
     task_float(x);
     break;
   case "double":
     task_double(x);
     break;
 }
}

I asked this question before in comp.lang.c++. But I got only one answer
saying that it is possible to do in Ada, but not sure in C++.

I would greatly appreciate your help!
Best regards and thanks in advance,
