SDAI_DAObject_SDAI::IsInstanceOf, IsKindOf, GetInstanceTypeName #387
Description
Are not these function implemented or did I miss something?
unresolved external symbol "public: enum Boolean __cdecl SDAI_DAObject_SDAI::IsInstanceOf(char const *)const

As far as I can tell, they are indeed all not implemented. They are wrapped in SDAI_CPP_LATE_BINDING markers (though GetInstanceTypeName() looks to be reversed), so it's curious they'd show as unresolved symbols unless you've modified the sources or otherwise defined SDAI_CPP_LATE_BINDING.
I don't know the history and would have to consult the spec for parts 22 and 23, but they appear to be part of a dynamic binding interface that is since handled in other ways (e.g., IsA() and EntityName()).

Without a specific requestor or spec reference indicating they're required, I'd be inclined to remove them from the code altogether as well as the other SDAI_CPP_LATE_BINDING mentions.
