/**
  src/base/omx_classmagic.h

  This file contains class handling helper macros
  It is left as an exercise to the reader how they do the magic (FIXME)

  Usage Rules:
  1) include this file
  2) if your don't inherit, start your class with CLASS(classname)
  3) if you inherit something, start your class with
  	DERIVEDCLASS(classname, inheritedclassname)
  4) end your class with ENDCLASS(classname)
  5) define your class variables with a #define classname_FIELDS inheritedclassname_FIELDS
  	inside your class and always add a backslash at the end of line (except last)
  6) if you want to use doxygen, use C-style comments inside the #define, and
  	enable macro expansion in doxyconf and predefine DOXYGEN_PREPROCESSING there, etc.

  See examples at the end of this file (in #if 0 block)
