Every complete object of class-type is a most-derived object only if that class inherits.

Objects may be of class type, but non-class type objects also exist. A most-derived object is an object of a most-derived class, and a most-derived class must be of a class type.

Is every 'complete' object is 'most-derived' object If I have created an object of Derived like this: Derived d_obj = Derived(), is the object d_obj also a 'most-derived' object?ĭoes the word 'derived' in 'most-derived' mean that the object is an object of a class like MostDerived, or mean that the object has no class subobject in it? If I have created an object of Base like this: Base b_obj = Base(), is the object b_obj a 'most-derived' object? Per the question 'What does the 'most derived object' mean?' I think that (correct me if I am wrong), objects of type 'most-derived' class only, like MostDerived, are called 'most-derived' objects. I stopped here, I really do not understand the rest of the wording. If a complete object, a member subobject, or an array element is of class type, its type is considered the most derived class An object of a most derived class type or of a non-class type is called a most derived object.įrom the quote what I understand is that a type of a complete object is of 'most-derived' class type. I can't understand the wording in this quote from the standard:
