We can treat this as a request for typeid(); the mapping creation and lookup is an implementation detail. So: the C++ typeid operator works in two modes, static (which happens at compile-time and is inlined) and dynamic (which happens at runtime and is subject to polymorphism). Do you want the static or the dynamic behavior?
