So, is it possible to smash the vtable of a class? I
can't imagine all
compilers have the same quirk, because I have seen this problem on half
a dozen compilers. Usually it is in classes where I am doing heavy
memory management. My guess is that the vtable can be corrupted somehow
by a smash.
I think this possible, as it is possible to overwrite the stack data of
a running function, including its return adress, etc. without cousing a
segfault.
Can you provide a minimal code fragment that demonstrates your problem?
This should make it possible to see what exactly goes wrong.
