How can I determine if a type is already registered ?
Author
AngelScript 2.0.
I want to determine if a type is registered or not. Can I rely on returned value for RegisterObjectType being asNAME_TAKEN ? Can it return asALREADY_REGISTERED ?
If the name is already being used by another type, a type member, or a global property or function then asNAME_TAKEN will be returned.
asALREADY_REGISTERED is never returned by this method, although I suppose it would be a suitable return code if the type is already registered before.

Yes, I already know that. But I want to distinct the case when the class is already registered from the one when the name is taken by a type member, function etc.
This is nec because I register the class from multiple code paths, so paths that are executed later doesn't exit with error when the class is already register. I'm forced to do that because I have multiple dynamically loaded modules that use the same types. The order of loading is not guaranteed.
I can go into more details if you want but the thing is that I need to determine if a class is registered or not. I could keep track myself in a structure separated from the compiler but it will be a waste of space.
Also it will be really useful (for me at least) if I could reregister the types behaviours (especially the addref, release).
Thanks

I'll see what I can do. Your requests doesn't impact any other features so I don't see why not.
