// This file defines wxTypeId macro that should be used internally in
// wxWidgets instead of typeid(), for compatibility with builds that do
// not implement C++ RTTI. Also, type defining macros in this file are
// intended for internal use only at this time and may change in future
// versions.
//
// The reason why we need this simple RTTI system in addition to the older
// wxObject-based one is that the latter does not work in template
// classes.

// RTTI well enough, so we can use it and work around harmless memory
// leaks reported by the static run-time libraries.

// cases where we'd know that typeid() would be flawless (as such),
// wxTypeId could of course simply be defined as typeid.

// WX_DECLARE_TYPEINFO_INLINE() should fix this. However, that approach is
// usually not possible when type info needs to be declared for a template
// class.
