Question

I need to study how a Constructor of class initializes its object.

The key information about constructor behavior that I have is:

1. Constructor fills the vtable of object.
2. Constructor don’t have name, hence no function-pointer.

How can I write code that will:

1. get me address of constructor?
2. trace the initialization of object?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A better approach to taking the address of a constructor is just to write a wrapper template function around new (with C++11 perfect forwarding, you need only one) and take the address of that.
