Hallo,

Is there a special RTTI for templates? What are the RTTI rules for
templates?
IMHO classinfo.name should reflect the type used when instancing the
template.

There is not much information about RTTI given in docs ;-(

Currently I do not see where templates and RTTI should interfere with each
other. Templates are handled at compile-time. I do not see where
runtime-polymorphism, and with it, RTTI should come into play there.

I think he may mean something like:


class Thing(T)
{
   
}

void main()
{
    Thing!(int) thing = new Thing!(int);
   
    printf("%.*s\n", thing.classinfo.name);

}

output:
Thing

Parhaps the output should really be:
Thing!(int)

 Perhaps the output should really be:
 Thing!(int)

Of course it should. I would consider that just a plain bug in the
implementation.
