Detailed Description

       This class is used to contain information about classes.

       Each DescribedClass type has a static ClassDesc member. This member has
       lists of the parents, children and virtual parents for each class. The
       ClassDesc class also has a static member that is a list of all
       described classes in the system. These lists are constructed as the
       constructors for the static ClassDesc members for each class are called
       and are completed before main is entered. See class for more
       information.

Member Function Documentation

   static ClassDesc* sc::ClassDesc::class_desc (const std::type_info &)
       [static]
       Given a type_info object return a pointer to the ClassDesc.

   virtual DescribedClass* sc::ClassDesc::create (StateIn &) const [virtual]
       Create an instance of DescribedClass with exact type equal to the class
       to which this class descriptor belongs. The StateIn& constructor is
       used. If this constructor doesn’t exist or a static function that calls
       it with new wasn’t passed to this ClassDesc, then 0 will be returned.

   virtual DescribedClass* sc::ClassDesc::create (const Ref< KeyVal > &) const
       [virtual]
       Create an instance of DescribedClass with exact type equal to the class
       to which this class descriptor belongs. The KeyVal& constructor is
       used. If this constructor doesn’t exist or a static function that calls
       it with new wasn’t passed to this ClassDesc, then 0 will be returned.

   virtual DescribedClass* sc::ClassDesc::create () const [virtual]
       Create an instance of DescribedClass with exact type equal to the class
       to which this class descriptor belongs. The constructor which takes no
       arguments is used. If this constructor doesn’t exist or a static
       function that calls it with new wasn’t given to this ClassDesc when it
       was created, then 0 will be returned.

   static int sc::ClassDesc::load_class (const char * classname) [static]
       Attempt to dynamically load the shared object file for classname.

   static ClassDesc* sc::ClassDesc::name_to_class_desc (const char *) [static]
       Given the name of the class, return a pointer to the class descriptor.
