What caused me to write this post is a BUG. Really i am not joking.. Everone know that there is a virtual table pointer is present at the beginning of the object memory . i am also know that.. But i did a mistake long ago . Following lines shows it...
class Base
{public :
virtual void Render()
{
}
};
class Derived: public Base
{// i have several data members here..
public :
Derived()
{
// For easily initializing all of my data members to zero , i used ZeroMemory here
ZeroMemory(this,sizeof(Derived));
// Danger .. This also clear the virtual table pointer..
}
void Render()
{
}
};
So when i called it like
Derived *d = new Derived()
d->Render();
it crasheddd .... because of the ZeroMemory in the constructor set the vptr to Zero.
