Try the following code
class basic
{
public:
virtual void one()=0;
};

class derived1:public basic
{
public:
virtual void two()=0;
};

class derived2:pubilc base
{
public:
virtual void three()=0;
};

class component : public derived,public derived2
{
public:
void one(){ cout< void two(){cout< void three(){cout<

};

void main()
{
//
basic * b = (derived1*)new component;
cout<<*b;
b->one();

}

My question is why size of *b and size of *this are different.
sizeof(*b) will give the size of the base class (4)while
sizeof(*this)gives the size of component class( Cool

although the pointer
used here is *b i.e basic class pointer.

regards,
Bob
