Suppose I have
class A { public: void print(){cout<<"A"; }};
class B: public A { public: void print(){cout<<"B"; }};
class C: public C { };
How is inheritance implemented at the memory level?
Does C copy print() code to itself or does it have a pointer to the it that points somewhere in A part of the code?
How does the same thing happen when we override the previous definition, for example in B (at the memory level)?
