Re: std.reflection prototype

[bitwise via Digitalmars-d]

One more thing.

I had to add a virtual destructor to A to get this to work:
class A {
    public: int a; virtual ~A(){}
};

// ....

A *d2 = (A*)d;
cout << boolalpha << (typeid(*d2) == typeid(D)) << endl;

C *d3 = (C*)d;
cout << boolalpha << (typeid(*d3) == typeid(D)) << endl;


Output is now:

true
false

Without virtual destructor:

false
false

So you can't rely on serialization working properly using only  
TypeInfo/offsets
