To retrieve an instance of TypeInfo from an object instance at runtime. Object obj = getSomething(); // returns a derived instance TypeInfo info = typeid(obj) // does not work, only compile time TypeInfo info = obj.classinfo.????; // how to navigate to TypeInfo? ClassInfo shall have an additional field, that make that navigation possible. A NG discussion was here: http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=88011

I think, ClassInfo can just inherit from TypeInfo.

Then TypeInfo_Class and TypeInfo_Interface needs to be merged as well.

Done with dmd 1.045 and 2.030.
