FIX: Call to Member Function with Virtual Base Fails

Q115849

1.00 WINDOWS kbtool kbfixlist kbbuglist ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - The Microsoft C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with: - Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== The use of the /Ob2, /Oe, and /Og optimization switches may cause calls to a member function of a class with a virtual base class to return incorrect values. RESOLUTION ========== There are several workarounds to this problem: 1. Use the /Ob1 optimization instead of /Ob2 -or- 2. Use the fast compiler option /f. -or- 3. Disable optimization by either removing the /Oe and /Og switches. -or- 4. Disable optimization locally using the optimize pragma: #pragma optimize("",off) void classname::classfunction() { } #pragma optimize("",on) STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed above. This is not a problem in Visual C++, 32-bit Edition. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 1.5. MORE INFORMATION ================ The sample code below can be used to illustrate this problem. Sample Code ----------- /* Compile options needed: /Ob2 /AC (or /AL or /AH) */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> class A { public: int a; int b; int z; int funcA(int); }; int A::funcA(int i) { return a + b + i; } class B : virtual public A { public: int c; int d; int z; int funcA(int); int funcB(int); }; int B::funcA(int i) { return a + c + i; } int B::funcB(int i) { return c + d + i; } void main(void) { A a; a.a = 1; a.b = 2; B b; b.a = 1; b.b = 2; b.c = 3; b.d = 4; if (a.funcA(1) != 4) printf("FAILED on line %d\n", __LINE__); \\ Error occurs on this line if (b.funcA(1) != 5) printf("FAILED on line %d\n", __LINE__); if (b.funcB(1) != 8) printf("FAILED on line %d\n", __LINE__); return 0; } Additional reference words: 1.00 8.00 KBCategory: kbtool kbfixlist kbbuglist KBSubcategory: CPPIss
