Thanks for answering. But I still don't understand why TypeInfo would need to be allocated. Aren't typeid() just returning references to the
__DxxTypeInfo_xxxx__initZ symbol?

You misunderstood, I meant the typeinfo *for* an allocated object, not that the typeinfo was allocated.

In some cases, 2 different objects allocated from different libraries (usually DLL-land) may reference TypeInfo from different segments, even though the TypeInfo is identical.

Hmm... Does that mean each DLL will have their own TypeInfo symbols for the same type?
