Eli is right, I never used it but you can ask gcc to generate assembler
(-S) and look the structures created for RTTI.
I also know that gcc 3.x increased the ammount of information a lot (and
that's one of the many bloats modern C++ have because the information can be
bigger than the class in extreme cases).
Now: how to use it, don't know, any modern C++ book should explain it. You
can see one of the fields in the structure is the name of the class and as
any object have a pointer to it the identification should work.
