Core::Rtti Class Reference

#include <rtti.h>

---

Detailed Description

Nebula3's runtime type information for one class. Every class derived from Core::RefCounted should use the macros __DeclareClass and __ImplementClass to properly initialize the runtime type information for the class. This will also automatically register the class with the Core::Factory object to implement object construction from class name string or fourcc code.
