In C++ I presume the C++ standard has nothing to do with how data members are arranged within a class, in terms of memory layout? Would I be right in thinking this is down to the compiler in question?

I’m very interested in learning how objects and other C++ entities (structs etc) are represented in physical memory (I know things like lists are node to node and arrays are continuous memory- but all the other aspects to the language).

EDIT: Would learning x86 assembler help with this and understanding C++ better?

    Yes, the standard doesn’t say how the objects are to be represented in memory. To get an idea how normall C++ objects are represented read this book: inside C++ object model.
