It's the same in C++. I was quite surprised when I first ran into it. But as 
Daniel points out, the behavior is still defined, just less expected. If you 
actually use this (or any member variable, since that would use this) inside 
of that member function though, you'll get a segfault just like if it had been 
dereferenced before calling the function like it would be with a virtual 
function.
