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?
I don't know the exact circumstances. I think the answer is both yes and
no, depending on the situation :)
But I know this is the reason for the string comparison.
