Detailed Description

       Classes which need runtime information about themselves and their relationship to other
       classes can virtually inherit from DescribedClass.

       This will provide the class with the ability to query its name and its version.
       Furthermore, the class's static ClassDesc can be obtained which permits several other
       operations. See class for more information.

Member Function Documentation

   ClassDesc* sc::DescribedClass::class_desc () const
       This returns the unique pointer to the ClassDesc corresponding to the given type_info
       object. Null is returned if it fails.
