/* 
   RTTI_H:	This file provides support for RTTI and generalized (virtual-base to derived and 
		separate hierarchy branches) casting. There is also support for RT obj creation
	  	from type names.

		In order to enable these features for a class, two things should be done:

		1)	insert the text TYPE_DATA (without ';') as the last item in the class-decl.
		2)	in the .C file where the class's implementation resides, insert the following (without';'):
		
			RTTI_DEF(classname,"RT classname")	     if the class has no bases with RTTI
 			RTTI_DEFn(classname,"RT classname",b1,...bn) if the class has bases b1,...bn with RTTI

			Use RTTI_DEF_INST instead of RTTI_DEF if you want to enable RT obj creation for classname.
			You should provide then a public default ctor.
			
   RTTI is used via a class called RTTItypeid. A typeid describes a type of a class. typeids can be compared
   with operator== and operator!= and can be retrieved from classes/pointers. They should provide all necessary 
   support for any kind of RTTI/casting, as described by the macros below (by RTTI-class we mean a class having RTTI,
   as described above). The 'return type' of the macros is listed between quotes:

   'RTTItypeid'
   STATIC_TYPE_INFO(T)		T=RTTI-class name. Returns a RTTItypeid with T's type. if T hasn't RTTI, a 
				compile-time error occurs.
   'RTTItypeid'
   TYPE_INFO(p)		        p=ptr to a RTTI-class.  
				Returns the RTTItypeid of the class-obj p is really pointing at. 
			        If *p hasn't RTTI, a compile-time error occurs.	
				If p==NULL, a special typeid for the NULL pointer is returned. 
				This typeid has the name (const char*) "NULL".  
   'T*'
   PTR_CAST(T,p)		T=RTTI-class, p=RTTI-class ptr.
				Returns p cast to the type T as a T*, if cast is possible, else
				returns NULL. If *p or T have no RTTI, a compile-time error occurs.
				Note that p can point to virtual base classes. Casting between separate
				branches of a class hierarchy is also supported, as long as all classes
				have RTTI. Therefore PTR_CAST is a fully general and safe operator.
				If p==NULL, the operator returns NULL.

   Some other macros. Not essential, provided mostly for convenience:
   =================
   const char*
   STATIC_TYPE_NAME(T)		T=RTTI-class name. Returns the name (const char*) of T's type.
				Provided for convenience. Compile-time error if T hasn't RTTI.
   const char*
   TYPE_NAME(p)			p=RTTI-class ptr. Returns the class name (char*) of real *p.
				Provided for convenience.  Compile-time error if *p hasn't RTTI.
   int				If p==NULL, "NULL" is returned.
   DYN_CAST(t,p)		t=RTTItypeid. p=RTTI-class ptr.
				Returns 1 if p can indeed be cast to t, else returns 0.
				Compile-time error if *p hasn't RTTI.
				If p==NULL, 1 is returned (NULL can be cast to anything).
				This operator is useful when we just want to check that a pointer can be cast to
				a RTTItypeid variable (which can be created/selected at run-time). For creating a RTTItypeid, 
				construct a subclass of RTTItypeid called RTTIdyntypeid which allows construction from a const char*, i.e. from
				a user specification and pass it to DYN_CAST.
				DYN_TYPE can't return a typed pointer (since t is a RTTItypeid var and C++ has no 'real' type variables), 
				but returns a 1/0 indicating whether the cast is possible or not. 
   void*
   UPTR_CAST(t,p)		t=RTTItypeid. p=RTTI-class ptr.
				Returns p cast to a void* if cast succeeds, else returns NULL.
				Again, p can point to virtual-bases and casts between separate branches of a class dag
				are supported. this operator is practically the 'untyped' version of PTR_CAST, offering
				the extra feature that the type is expressed by a run-time type variable (RTTItypeid).
				Compile-time error if *p hasn't RTTI.

  
  Obsolete macros:		This set of macros is based on Stroustrup. They are not general and safe 
  ===============		(e.g. virtual-base to derived casts are trapped as compile-time errors and casts
				between separate class-dag branches are incorrectly done without any warnings). 
				The above macros are including ALL functionality of these macros, which are
				provided only for completeness:

  OLD_PTR_CAST(T,p)		Like PTR_CAST(T,p), but without accepting p=ptr to virtual bases and performing
				incorrect casts between separate branches of a class-dag.
  OLD_UPTR_CAST(t,p)		Like UPTR_CAST(t,p), but with same problems as above.
  OLD_DYN_CAST(t,p)		Like DYN_CAST(t,p), but with same problems as above.
 

  RT Object Creation:		This feature enables the user to create objects of a RT-selected type in a generic manner.
  ==================		Typically, we create/obtain a RT type (via a RTTItypeid t1). Then, having another RTTItypeid t2
				(typically from the (STATIC_)TYPE_INFO of some ROOT class / ROOT* ptr, we call:

				ROOT* new_obj = (ROOT*)t2.create(t1);

				create() searches for t1 in the class DAG rooted at t2. If found, it creates a new obj of type 
				t1 and returns it as a '(void*)(t2*)'. For example, we know above that we get a ROOT* since
				t2 is ROOT's RTTItypeid, so we can _safely_ cast the void* to ROOT. If create() can't make the t1
				object (there's no such type or the type is not declared via RTTI_DEF_INST), it returns NULL.
				This gives a fully generic typeid-based factory method for RT obj creation.

  REMARK:	RTTI support adds some additional info, both static+virtual, to a class. The current implementation
  =======	adds a static object and some static functions and 2 virtual functions to each class desiring RTTI.
		This may of course cause potential name-clash problems. In order to avoid this, all added identifiers
		in the RTTI system are prefixed with RTTI_ (see the TYPE_DATA macro).
  
  REMARK_2:	There are two classes related to RTTI: RTTItypeid and RTTITypeinfo. A RTTItypeid is, as it says, an 'id for a type'
  ========	It actually wraps a RTTITypeinfo*, where a RTTITypeinfo contains the actual encoding of a class type.
		You can freely create/copy/destroy/manipulate RTTItypeid's, but you should NEVER deal directly
		with RTTITypeinfo. A RTTITypeinfo should actually be created ONLY by the TYPE_DATA macros, as part of a class definition,
		since the RTTITypeinfo encodes a type info for an EXISTING class. All type-related stuff should be therefore
		handled via RTTItypeid's. If you really want to dynamically create a dummy typeid, use RTTIdyntypeid class.

  REMARK 3:	All names introduced by this RTTI implementation (RTTItypeid,RTTIdyntypeid,RTTITypeinfo,etc)
  =========	are prefixed by RTTI, to make this system easily acceptable by e.g. C++ environments which happen to 
	 	already support typeids.
