Virtual Base Class

[Zerpent]

Hi :).

I just read about virtual base classes. From what I understand, when you have multiple inheritance from a base class and create instances of the derived classes, there will still only be 1 instance of the virtually inherited base class.

Here is my question: Do virtual base classes' member variables become static?
Or do all objects of the derived classes still have their own set of variables?
The reason for why I think that the virtual base classes' member variables are static is that there is only one instance of that class.

Thanks for your answers :).
Best regards, Zerpent.

A hidden pointer is used, just like for virtual functions. I think...

Why did you think they would become static?

Could I just get a clear answer please? I apprecieate your replies but I still wonder.
