Built-in type providing run-time type information
Syntax:
Usage:
Description:
Object is a built-in type which provides Run-Time Type Information (RTTI) for all types derived from it using Extends, allowing them to be used with Operator Is, and to support Virtual and Abstract methods.
Extending the built-in Object type allows to add an extra hidden vtable pointer field at the top of the Type. The vtable is used to dispatch Virtual and Abstract methods and to access information for run-time type identification used by Operator Is.
