public abstract class ResourceIdentifier
extends java.lang.Object

Abstract base class. The destructor is *NOT* virtual so that the derived-class destructors hide it. This is intentional to avoid a virtual function table pointer, a safe thing here because the base class has no data. This allows the derived classes that represent vertex buffer information to store the input attributes first, and allow typecasting of the following form. class VBufferIdentifier : public ResourceIdentifier { public: Attributes IAttr; } VBufferIdentifier* pkID = ; Attributes& rkIAttr = *(Attributes*)pkID;
