Module Name:

    clasdesc.cxx

Abstract:

    This module contains the definition for the CLASS_DESCRIPTOR class.
    CLASS_DESCRIPTOR classes are special concrete classes derived from
    OBJECT. They are special in that a single staic object of this class
    exists for every other concrete class in the Ulib hierarchy.
    CLASS_DESCRIPTORs allocate and maintain information that can be used
    at run-time to determine the actual type of an object.

Environment:

    ULIB, User Mode

Notes:

    The definitions for all concrete class' CLASS_DESCRIPTORs can be found
    in the file ulib.cxx.

    See the Cast member function in ulibdef.hxx to see how dynamic casting
    and CLASS_DESCRIPTORs work.
