<h3 class="section">8.13 Virtual Base Classes</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>A derived class object consists of a concatenation in memory of the data
|
||
|
|
areas defined by each base class, starting with the leftmost and ending
|
||
|
|
with the rightmost in the list of base classes. The exception to this
|
||
|
|
rule is for virtual inheritance. In the example above, class <code>D</code>
|
||
|
|
inherits virtually from base class <code>B</code>. This means that an
|
||
|
|
instance of a <code>D</code> object will not contain its own <code>B</code> part but
|
||
|
|
merely a pointer to a <code>B</code> part, known as a virtual base pointer.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In a derived class stab, the base offset part of the derivation
|
||
|
|
information, described above, shows how the base class parts are
|
||
|
|
ordered. The base offset for a virtual base class is always given as 0.
|
||
|
|
Notice that the base offset for <code>B</code> is given as 0 even though
|
||
|
|
<code>B</code> is not the first base class. The first base class <code>A</code>
|
||
|
|
starts at offset 0.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The field information part of the stab for class <code>D</code> describes the field
|
||
|
|
which is the pointer to the virtual base class <code>B</code>. The vbase pointer
|
||
|
|
name is ‘<samp>$vb</samp>’ followed by a type reference to the virtual base class.
|
||
|
|
Since the type id for <code>B</code> in this example is 25, the vbase pointer name
|
||
|
|
is ‘<samp>$vb25</samp>’.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">.stabs "D:Tt31=s32!3,000,20;100,25;0264,28;$vb25:24,128;Ddat:1,
|
||
|
|
160,32;A_virt::32=##1;:i;2A*-2147483647;20;;B_virt::32:i;
|
||
|
|
2A*-2147483647;25;;C_virt::32:i;2A*-2147483647;28;;D_virt:
|
||
|
|
:32:i;2A*-2147483646;31;;;~%20;",128,0,0,0
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Following the name and a semicolon is a type reference describing the
|
||
|
|
type of the virtual base class pointer, in this case 24. Type 24 was
|
||
|
|
defined earlier as the type of the <code>B</code> class <code>this</code> pointer. The
|
||
|
|
<code>this</code> pointer for a class is a pointer to the class type.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="example">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="example">.stabs "this:P24=*25=xsB:",64,0,0,8
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Finally the field offset part of the vbase pointer field description
|
||
|
|
shows that the vbase pointer is the first field in the <code>D</code> object,
|
||
|
|
before any data fields defined by the class. The layout of a <code>D</code>
|
||
|
|
class object is a follows, <code>Adat</code> at 0, the vtable pointer for
|
||
|
|
<code>A</code> at 32, <code>Cdat</code> at 64, the vtable pointer for C at 96, the
|
||
|
|
virtual base pointer for <code>B</code> at 128, and <code>Ddat</code> at 160.
