Is it possible to get the name of a struct using one of its methods? [duplicate]

Question

For example:

struct ABC;

impl ABC {
    fn some_method(&self) -> &str {
        // return the name of its struct -> "ABC"
    }
}

I'm writing Python extensions and I need a way to return the current struct's name for its repr method. In Python, I can get this using self.__class__.__name__. Is there anything similar in Rust?

It's possible with nightly and the core_intrinsics feature:

#![feature(core_intrinsics)]

use std::intrinsics::type_name;

struct ABC;

impl ABC {
    fn some_method(&self) -> &'static str {
        unsafe { type_name::<Self>() }
    }
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", ABC.some_method()); // ABC
}
