------- Comment #12 from frederic dot riss at gmail dot com 2005-11-06 18:35 ------- When I read the standard, I thought that 'reference to a class type' was used in a sort of general way covering pointers and C++ references. I interpreted this that way because I don't see what difference it could make to a compiler and/or a developper that typeid(A*) is valid while typeid(A&) isn't. So just for my personal knowledge, what could be the rationale behind this special casing ?
