Description helmutduregger 2009年01月05日 06:01:39 UTC

The documentation at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/property.html does not
list classinfo at all.
The description at http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/phobos/object.html is
difficult to find for beginners and it is unclear how to compare for equality
or derived classes (the doc about opCmp mentions a runtime error for
Object.opCmp, and it is unclear what Object.opEqual compares).
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?HowTo/RealtimeTypeInformation mentions
ClassInfo's property .name which seems reasonable for checking equality.
