Repost:C++ compiler implementation details

[P Vinodh Kumar]

Reposting, please give your ideas/suggestions/comments.

I am reading Lippman's Inside C++ object model.
I feel lonely because the Microsoft C++ compiler which I use does not
provide me an implementation details manual, describing how they
implement vtables in case of single inheritance and multiple
inheritance.


Just to verify what I read is correct I don't have the same from any
other compiler vendors also.


I do not know where CFront's implementation manuals are.
I do not know they are accessible to everyone.


If the underlying implementation is "not sure" and "most likely" how
shall I draw boundaries? And why should I make wrong and likely
assumptions?


Is there any C++ compiler model implementation with source code and
design explanation available?(Model means some model, implementing at
least some version of the standard or pre-standard)


Thanks,
Vinodh
