Oh, I see it now. I think typeid(interface) gives a different
set of info.
Thinking about it a bit more, this makes sense because an
interface is not necessarily an Object - it might also be a C++
class, or a COM object, or maybe even a slice into another vtbl
if an Object implements multiple interfaces (not completely
sure about the latter, I'd have to read some source, but it
seems logical to me).
Possibly. Since I program to interfaces, every reference I use is
referenced to an interface. Needing the correct object size for
implementing an allocator was not working as "expected"(at least
as one would expect with classes). I could not see anything in
the docs that would suggest otherwise(else the light bulb might
have went off).
i.e., one would expect, IMO, that tsize would work on interfaces
because interfaces do not have a "size" so it should return the
class size of the object. (so things work uniformly and we can
program to interfaces without having to create workarounds).
