I would also like to see what is in there, but even without that, the error
report is at least misleading.

Note the error once again:

Error: struct libep.componentdesc.ComponentDesc destructors, postblits and
invariants are not allowed in overlapping fields info and baseClass

And the struct ComponentDesc:

struct ComponentDesc
{
  ComponentInfo info;
  SharedString baseClass;
}

Is there any way to define ComponentInfo or SharedString such that info and
baseClass overlap? I wouldn't think so.
