An empty structure, such as struct A. One of the requirements for standard-layout classes is "has all non-static data members and bit-fields in the class and its base classes first declared in the same class" so standard layout classes are allowed to have base classes, as long as either the base class is empty (so doesn't alter layout) or the derived class doesn't add members (so has the same layout as the base). If neither the base class is an empty record, and the derived class doesn't add any non-static data members or bit-fields, then the base class should be an empty record too. _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
