memory layout of inherited class

Question

I\'m keen to know exactly how the classes will be arranged in memory esp. with inheritance and virtual functions.

Answer 1

The best way is probably writing a few simple test cases and then compile and debug them in assembler (all optimization off): running one instruction at a time you'll see where everything fits.

At least that's the way I learned it.

And if you find any case particularly challenging, post in in SO!
