GetUnit name

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I ve tried to create o block of code which counts marines number. First i tried 
to parse all my units in a set collection and after that to find how many 
elements have the name Terran_Marine but it seems that doesnt work. Has someone 
any idea?

int counter2;

std::set<Unit*> myUnits = Broodwar->self()->getUnits();
  for(std::set<Unit*>::iterator i=myUnits.begin();i!=myUnits.end();i++)       {
            Unit* pUnit = *i;
        if( pUnit->getType().getName() == "Terran_Marine")
        {
         counter2++;
        }           
}
Broodwar->printf("The no of the marines are: %d" ,counter2);

Pretty sure it's "Terran Marine", however this is inefficient and you should 
just use

pUnit->getType() == UnitTypes::Terran_Marine

since it will just compare an int instead of a string.
