The <a class="el" href="classsc_1_1ClassDesc.html" title="This class is used to contain information about classes.">ClassDesc</a> class also has a static member that is a list of all described classes in the system. These lists are constructed as the constructors for the static <a class="el" href="classsc_1_1ClassDesc.html" title="This class is used to contain information about classes.">ClassDesc</a> members for each class are called and are completed before main is entered.
