I hate it when people don't finish their sentences.
Only the crappiest, driest, most tasteless Brazil nuts are covered with chocolate.
Get a cheap chocolate fountain, instead. Much more fun.

Ah, yes...Sony...have you made plans already to replace it, when it stops working 3 days after the warranty runs out and they tell you the required $2 replacement part is no longer available?
(not kidding, this is the exact same story I've now heard from 3 different people who don't even know each other)

good you posted this, reminded me to gather the receipts etc to a safe place.
actually she bought the hardly normal extended warranty, 5 years all up.
figure by then I'll let her buy new one,
... after all 5 years from now who would want anything less than:
- 160 Gig resolution in 80 Tera-colors,
- gesture and thought control - and a spy cam that tells the robovac when to do it's job,
- direct skeletal sound system with cranial mega-bass
- artificial super-intelligence (plays ads and buys eggs for you even when switched off)

I have no idea how to reliably examine post JIT'd asm in .NET - I haven't really tried yet, but I would be really interested to know how it handles forwarded virtual calls that don't change the stack frame and don't do anything other than forward.
Some methods can be resolved using a jump because all they do is forward calls to another method.
This can happen a lot in OOP when you have base classes calling derived classes through virtual functions.
In those cases, instead of doing two jumps to get to the final method, such that target->base->derived, it could know just to do target->derived directly?
I'm inclined to believe it won't, for reasons, but if it did it would be a fine excuse to go really deep with your derived classes.
I was wondering because I'm rewriting some tokenizer code and I was thinking of going two levels deep in my derived classes (again for reasons) but tokenizers shouldn't waste clock cycles they don't need to waste. (It's bad enough writing one in C#)
Edit: Never mind. I was out of my head. You can't describe what I'm trying to describe in such a way that the vtbl already has the forwarded calls in it anway. I wasn't thinking straight. 
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Go into the debug settings, uncheck "suppress jit optimization on module load", debug a release build. Or you can throw an exception near the code you want to see (throw it conditionally in a way that you know is true but the compiler won't know, to stop it optimizing stuff out), let the program die and attach debugger when prompted.
E: you can open the disassembly window anyway, but if you don't do those things then you get the deliberately deoptimized debug version, which is not representative of the program the way it will really be executed.

I don't really get what you have in mind here, otherwise I would try it myself.

abstract class Foo {
public abstract Bark();
}
abstract class Bar : Foo {
}
class Dog : Bar {
}
I just realized something.
The only way to make what I happened happen is to do in such a way that it won't matter anyway.
Basically the vtbl slots will already be filled with the forwarded pointer. My bad.
So never mind. I'll leave my message up in shame

Sounds like you're mixing up inheritance with representation.
But I'm probably wrong though, from what you've posted so far, you're better than me.

I was having an off moment. Wasn't thinking about the vtbl holes being filled for some reason.
it's been too long since I've written COM classes in C++. That keeps my vtbl knowledge fresh (i never use ATL because it's clunky)

That was not a bright bird. You do not mess with the octopus.

I like the way the sub title says the octopus was released and the guy is trying to shake it off the boat hook - who released who.

just finished a binge watch of mr. mercedes season 3. Good, easy, plausible.
- yeah season 2 was a bit implausible, but s3 barely brings that up, all of 2 brief mentions
but best part is it ended, no loose strings, everything closed,and no new plot teasers...
It actually ended! Refreshing. No waiting for more.
so used to there being some new twist revealed [right at the end], unfinished / branch [sub] plot, or sometimes straight-up in-your-face hints pointing to [the producers milking] a new season
only to have the executives claim 'not enough audience' (reality not enough $).
otoh also fair to add a lot of the MM cast were pretty old of a more senior persuasion; nothing kills a series faster then a lead actor kicking the bucket mid stream - maybe a risk management call?

You would not say that if you knew Mr Mercedes. No doubt he will have another 1000 changes to everything I delivered him today. For the rest of the year he is out of luck. I still had a few free days left. See you in january.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Now I'm a little scared. Because code that I knew was broken is working but when I "fixed" it the whole thing falls on its face.
The problem is, given a bit of code, find all variables declared within the scope of that code.
Prior, i was just getting all the variables in the routine. I knew it was wrong, but i hadn't worked out the problem yet.
Now I have, so I went back to update the code. As soon as I put it in Slang's patcher stops finding some of my variables!
So I test the variable tracer some more. It works as good as I could have hoped.
Which means somewhere, something else doesn't. And I barely know where to begin to look because of how this works.
Worse, currently my repro requires running a very particular bit of slang code as part of my lexer generator - "Rolex"'s operation, which means i had to pull that out and duplicate it in a scratch binary to debug, but it's still not very narrowed down. I can't quite find the bit where i need to test in the debugger.
The trouble is visitors are nasty when things go wrong. The visitor works right, it's the code that's firing on visit that's bad somewhere, and that happens inside a visit so the call stack is a nightmare.
And it's friday the 13th. Just my day. Maybe I should stay off the computer.
Building stuff like this is rough.
