How is TypeInfo() implemented exactly? I’m curious if there are any string comparing, allocating memory etc... that would adversely affect performance since these classes need to perform fast data lookups/insertions.
TypeInfo() simply inserts the load of a pointer value, so there's not even a call. Regards, Sven
