Re: [Dev-C++] Query

I don't know what you did expect.

First of all, there are no standard that tells how muh extra data that a
compiler should/may add to the size of an object. Extra data is needed for
RTTI, virtual methods etc.

One other important factor is the avoidance of zero-size objects.

Let's say that you have an object of zero size.

Then you allocate an array of 100 such objects.

How would you now iterate through the array? If the object has zero size,
each element of the array would have the same address since the whole
array would be zero size.
