[Rock-dev] Questions Regarding Typelib

[Janosch Machowinski]

Hey,
I got some question, regarding how typelib works.

Here is the stuff I found out, correct me if this is wrong:

It loads a type description, either from the installed TLB files,
or from a log stream. From this a Typelib::Type is generated.

To store or load a type, one needs to create a Typelib::Value
A typlib value is a unpacked version of the Type, plus the type description

dump() packs the value into a data ream, and load() unpacks it from a 
data stream.

Here is my first question, how can I load non POD types. I suppose,
I must supply a preinitialized type as target Pointer ?

Is there a way of doing this anonymously ?

How do I check (in c++) if the local type and the stream type are the same ?
I suppose I load the system tlb and check it against the stream tlb, is 
there
already a function for this ?

Greetings
     Janosch
