Reflex Type from typeinfo

Hi Talkers,

I've recently been trying to use the Reflex library instead of the rootcint. However, after building source code and linking in dictonaries with genreflex, (under Gaudi), I find that the following code snippet returns null strings:

std::string SomeBaseClass::name() const
{
  return ROOT::Reflex::Type::ByTypeInfo(typeid(*this)).Name(); }

The API documentation is not very clear, but I would have expected this to work.

In the meantime, I'm using:

        typeid(*this).name() + 2
which works under GCC, but is platform-dependent, so not a really good long-term solution.

Any advice?

Thanks,
