Hello,
The interfaces ABI is marked "TBD". Could this be filled, please?
I found the following surprising, regarding the ABI:
An object only has a pointer to the vtable and a monitor, the rest being
the actual data ("non-static members"). At the vtable's offset 0 we find
a pointer to the classinfo. And the classinfo has an array of
interfaces. So when I add an interface, I would assume the objects to
remain equal in size. The classinfo would get a bigger array of
interfaces, and perhaps the vtable would also get bigger. But since no
non-static member were added to the class, I expected the object size to
be equal. Yet, it gets bigger.
