Re: [Dev-C++] Strange effect

Is this just your belief or can you prove that this is the case from some
external referece or knowledgable party (other than yourself)?

As I have been given to understand it the case of there only being one set
of methods existing in memory for a class, and then each method being passed
a hidden pointer to the object is the true case. Hence the existence of the
"this" pointer for use in a class. I would also like to mention that the way
you would have it is unecessarily wasteful of resources. The issue becomes
more complex with virtual methods and such, but I won't go into that right
now.

I wouldn't mind if someone else who is reading this discussion, and is
knowledgable about the subject, putting us both on the correct path.

Jason.

Yes, when we create an object all member functions are being (re)created
for that particual object.

object of a type, and the objects only contain the data?


No.
