Memory Layout for Multiple and Virtual Inheritance

hi:

Just out of curiosity, more than 10 years passed since Stanley B.
Lippman's <<Inside the C++ Object Model>>.
Is there anything changed these days?
Eg, the "Memory Layout for Multiple and Virtual Inheritance"
Could anyone give some comments on the mainstream compiler strategy
for it?
I am interested in MS compiler and GCC compiler.
Thanks
Ge Chunyuan

I want to know why C# doesnt support multiple inheritance? But why we can inherit multiple interfaces instead? I know this is the rule, but I dont understand why. Can anyone give me some concrete examples?

Hi, I wrote an article that may be of interest to some people in this newsgroup. It explains the memory (object) layout for multiple and virtual inheritance. The article can be read at http://www.phpcompiler.org/doc/virtualinheritance.html If anyone has any corrections or suggestions for improvements, I'd appreciate it.

Guys, I have this situation: the class C is defined as follow: class C: public A, public B {...}; Now when I create an object of class C, I can see that the compiler (VS 8.0) decides to layout the memory of this object so that the fields of class B come before the fields of class A. I always thought the layout is defined by the order of inheritance. Was I wrong? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble getting the correct chain of constructors to be called when creating an object at the bottom of a hierarchy. Have a look at the code below - the inheritance goes like this: Shape | +-- Ellipse | +-- Circle

Hello, I've been reading Effective C++ about multiple inheritance, but I still have a few questions. Can someone give me some help please? First, it is said that if virtual inheritance is used, then "the responsibility for initializing a virtual base is borne by the most derived class in the hierarchy". What does it mean? Initializing base class is usually done automatically by the compiler, but a derived class can invoke the base...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
