Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename BaseT, bool Abstract = false, bool NoPIO = false>
class ThePEG::DescribeClassT< T, BaseT, Abstract, NoPIO >

DescribeClassT and its derived companion classes DescribeClass DescribeAbstractClass, DescribeNoPIOClass and DescribeAbstractNoPIOClass, is a simplified interface to the 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 should be used for abstract classes and classes without persistent I/O functions respectively.
