[GiNaC-devel] tinfo

[Christian Bauer]

Hi!

1) You can't have virtual static members.
2) The main reason behind the TINFO mechanism was to avoid a virtual 
function call. This and some other optimizations sped up GiNaC by a 
factor of two.
3) If you're planning to re-introduce virtual functions to GiNaC's RTTI, 
you might as well use typeid() (maybe it works better now than it did 
five years ago).
4) structure<T> implements a dynamic TINFO assignment, if you want to 
look at one.

Bye,
Christian
