Could you please elaborate on this? I too have been trying to understand
why two copies of ctors are getting created but could never find any
explanation. As you suggested, i browsed through the ABI but still
haven't found anything(so far). From your remark;
http://www.codesourcery.com/cxx-abi/abi.html#vtable-ctor
and http://www.codesourcery.com/cxx-abi/abi.html#obj-ctor
talks about it, but probably not in the most enlightening terms.
Can i infer that it has to do with the initialization of the pointer to
the virtual base class in a derived object? Somewhere in lippman's
"Inside the C++ object model" i had read that the ctor inits this
pointer. Not sure that it is related. Would appreciate it if you(or
somebody else) could throw some light on this.
that presumes a particular ABI implementation, which is now incorrect for
g++ However the basic idea is the same.
