51 /**
52  * UClassID is used to identify classes without using the compiler's RTTI.
53  * This was used before C++ compilers consistently supported RTTI.
54  * ICU 4.6 requires compiler RTTI to be turned on.
55  *
56  * Each class hierarchy which needs
57  * to implement polymorphic clone() or operator==() defines two methods,
58  * described in detail below.  UClassID values can be compared using
59  * operator==(). Nothing else should be done with them.
60  *
61  * \par
62  * In class hierarchies that implement "poor man's RTTI",
63  * each concrete subclass implements getDynamicClassID() in the same way:
64  *
65  * \code
66  *      class Derived {
67  *      public:
68  *          virtual UClassID getDynamicClassID() const
69  *            { return Derived::getStaticClassID(); }
70  *      }
71  * \endcode
72  *
73  * Each concrete class implements getStaticClassID() as well, which allows
74  * clients to test for a specific type.
75  *
76  * \code
77  *      class Derived {
78  *      public:
79  *          static UClassID U_EXPORT2 getStaticClassID();
80  *      private:
81  *          static char fgClassID;
82  *      }
83  *
84  *      // In Derived.cpp:
85  *      UClassID Derived::getStaticClassID()
86  *        { return (UClassID)&Derived::fgClassID; }
87  *      char Derived::fgClassID = 0; // Value is irrelevant
