As per Stan Lippman's "Inside C++ object model", the
C++ standard does'nt specify how the virtual functions
have to be implemented, leave alone virtual function
tables! But vtable implementation was part of
Stroustrup's original implementation and it matured as
a "Standard" way of implementation.

The copy I own is quite old and I am not aware of any
changes.

Hope this helps,
