The module can generate RTTI for all types recursively from the starting
point iff that information is statically available. It does not have to
be. A module that comes as .di + static library binary could return a
reference to a private class that has a publicly exported base class.
How would you generate RTTI for a statically invisible class?
You're not supposed to be able to. Runtime reflection should only apply
to public data members.
It's not enough. Take this for example:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
before_save :bar
private
def bar
end
end
The above code is an example from Ruby on Rails. The "before_save" call
sets up a callback, "bar", that will called before saving the model. The
callback method will be called using reflection.
