/*===========================================================================*/
/**
* UClassID is used to identify classes without using the compiler's RTTI.
* This was used before C++ compilers consistently supported RTTI.
* ICU 4.6 requires compiler RTTI to be turned on.
*
* Each class hierarchy which needs
* to implement polymorphic clone() or operator==() defines two methods,
* described in detail below. UClassID values can be compared using
* operator==(). Nothing else should be done with them.
*
* \par
* getDynamicClassID() is declared in the base class of the hierarchy as
* a pure virtual. Each concrete subclass implements it in the same way:
*
* \code
* class Base {
* public:
* virtual UClassID getDynamicClassID() const = 0;
* }
*
* class Derived {
* public:
* virtual UClassID getDynamicClassID() const
* { return Derived::getStaticClassID(); }
* }
* \endcode
*
* Each concrete class implements getStaticClassID() as well, which allows
* clients to test for a specific type.
*
* \code
* class Derived {
* public:
* static UClassID U_EXPORT2 getStaticClassID();
* private:
* static char fgClassID;
* }
*
* // In Derived.cpp:
* UClassID Derived::getStaticClassID()
* { return (UClassID)&Derived::fgClassID; }
* char Derived::fgClassID = 0; // Value is irrelevant
* \endcode
