Used all of these three. I don't want to even look at MS Visual C/C++ ecosystem.

gcc has typeof, which is pretty neat.

Is it any different from the standard decltype?

Good question. I didn't know about decltype. I guess they are slightly different in that decltype will also produce a type reference. Typeof just produces the type, even if you call on a reference.
