<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Is this just your belief or can you prove that this is the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; case from some external referece or knowledgable party (other 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; than yourself)? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; As I have been given to understand it the case of there only 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; being one set of methods existing in memory for a class, and 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; then each method being passed a hidden pointer to the object 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; is the true case. Hence the existence of the "this" pointer 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; for use in a class. I would also like to mention that the way 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; you would have it is unecessarily wasteful of resources. The 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; issue becomes more complex with virtual methods and such, but 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I won't go into that right now. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I wouldn't mind if someone else who is reading this 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; discussion, and is knowledgable about the subject, putting us 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; both on the correct path. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Yes, when we create an object all member functions are being 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; (re)created for that particual object. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt;do you believe that there are only a single set of methods for every 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; object of a type, and the objects only contain the data? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; No.
