 * @class ACE_RT_Info
 *
 * @brief Offers a convenient C++ interface to the IDL RT_Info structure.
 *
 * For performance reasons the RT_Info data is represented as an
 * IDL structure, this permits sending complete RT_Info's from the
 * client to the server.  Unfortunately this precludes the usage
 * of member functions and constructors, this class serves as a
 * helper to implement those without loosing the performance on
 * IDL.
