# String conversions
Catch needs to be able to convert types you use in assertions and logging expressions into strings (for logging and reporting purposes).
-Most built-in or std types are supported out of the box but there are two ways that you can tell Catch how to convert your own types (or other, third-party types) into strings.

Again ```T``` is your type and ```convertMyTypeToString``` is where you'll write whatever code is necessary to make your type printable. Note that the function must be in the Catch namespace, which itself must be in the global namespace.
+## Catch::StringMaker<T> specialisation
+
+There are some cases where overloading toString does not work as expected. Specialising StringMaker<T> gives you more precise, and reliable, control - but at the cost of slightly more code and complexity:
+
+```
+namespace Catch {
+ template<> struct StringMaker<T> {
+ static std::string convert( T const& value ) {
+ return convertMyTypeToString( value );
+ }
+ };
+}
+```
