rtInfo issue

[Benjamin Thaut]

I'm currently using the rtInfo template inside object.d to generate RTTI 
information for my own little rtti system. It is working really well so 
far, the only issue I found is as follows:

If a POD struct (which does not contain any reference types, pointers, 
arrays etc) is placed in a library. And that library is then linked 
against a executable, the rtInfo of the POD struct will be lost. It will 
be generated by the compiler when compiling the library, but for some 
reason it is gone after the final binary is compiled and linked. But as 
soon as I add a void* pointer to that struct everythings works fine.

Any idea what could be happening there and how to fix it? If the linker 
stripts the rtInfo out, why does adding a void* make a difference?
