I thought string-merging is only for the case when the same string literal is used in multiple locations. But here "Derived1" is only used once for typeDerived1, which Derived1::getType() then returns. So I never would have thought that Derived1::getType() could be different to typeDerived1, which it is. Am I depending on undefined behavior? If yes, why?
