By singleton, I meant that each type only had a single type_info object that is returned
for all objects of that type.
Thank you for confirming that, though. :-)

It's not a singleton - you can have any number of instances of the
type, with different values. Otherwise every use of the typeid
operator would return the same result!
But the lifetime of the type_info object will last until the end of
the program, so your change is safe in that respect.
