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