RTTIabhängige

RTTIabhängige is a German term that translates to "RTTI-dependent" or "dependent on RTTI". RTTI stands for Run-Time Type Information. In programming, RTTI is a feature that allows a program to inspect the type of an object at runtime. This means that the program can determine the actual type of an object, even if it is stored in a variable of a more general type.

When a program or a specific piece of code is described as RTTIabhängige, it implies that its behavior or functionality relies on the ability to query and utilize type information during execution. This is common in object-oriented programming languages like C++ and Java. For example, a function might be RTTIabhängige if it needs to check if an object is an instance of a particular class before performing a specific operation. This is often achieved through type casting or checking the type of an object.

The use of RTTI can introduce a dependency on the runtime environment's support for this feature. If RTTI is disabled or not available in a particular build or platform, RTTIabhängige code might fail or behave unexpectedly. Therefore, developers need to be mindful of this dependency when designing and implementing software, especially in performance-critical applications or environments where RTTI might be intentionally omitted for optimization purposes. Understanding the RTTIabhängige nature of code is crucial for debugging and ensuring portability.
