class A {}
class B : A {}

void main() {
   auto a = new A;
   writeln(typeid(a));
}

Currently typeid only applies to a type and consequently returns static type information. This bug report aims at merging classinfo into TypeInfo_class. We need to therefore have typeid accept values.

Bug 3346 seems to be the same as this one. When fixed, bug 3345 can probably be closed as well.

I think you meant:

   auto a = new B;

Sorry. I actually meant:

A a = new B;

meaning that the static type is different from the dynamic type.
