C++ vtable layout



A virtual table (vtable) is a table of information used to dispatch virtual functions, to access virtual base class subobjects, and to access information for runtime type identification (RTTI).

Virtual Table Components and Order :

1 Virtual call (vcall) offsets

2 Virtual Base (vbase) offsets

3 The offset to top holds the displacement to the top of the object

4 The typeinfo pointer
