Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename BaseT = int>
class ThePEG::DescribeAbstractClass< T, BaseT >

DescribeClass and its companion classes DescribeAbstractClass, DescribeNoPIOClass and DescribeAbstractNoPIOClass, is a simplified interface to type information system in ThePEG.

For simple classes there is no need to specialize the ClassTraits and BaseClassTrait classes and to have a static member variable of ClassDescription in the class (as in the full ThePEG type info system). Instead it is enough to have one statically initialized variable of one of the DescraibeClass classes for each class. The Abstract and NoPIO versions of this class may be used for abstract classes and classes without persistent I/O functions respectively.

The template arguments are as follows: T : the class being described. BaseT : The base class of T. If several base classes these should be encoded s template arguments to the BaseClasses class (at most four base classes can be encoded).
