(

BaseClass

)

Register runtime type information for a base class.

You need this for the dynamic dispatchers to cope with derived-to-base conversions. Since C++ offers no possibility to recognize the base classes of a class at runtime, this must be done manually. Note that multiple inheritance is not supported.

Example class hierarchy:

 class Vehicle { public: virtual ~Vehicle(); }
 class Aircraft : public Vehicle {};
 class Watercraft : public Vehicle {};
 class Ship : public Watercraft {};
 class Submarine : public Watercraft {};

Register classes as follows (once inside a function):

 THOR_RTTI_BASE(Vehicle)
   THOR_RTTI_DERIVED(Aircraft)
   THOR_RTTI_DERIVED(Watercraft);
 THOR_RTTI_BASE(Watercraft)
   THOR_RTTI_DERIVED(Ship)
   THOR_RTTI_DERIVED(Submarine);

#define THOR_RTTI_DERIVED

(

DerivedClass

)

Register runtime type information for a derived class.
