Hello, let's say I have the choice between using an abstract
class or an interface to declare a "plan", a "template" for
the descendants.
From the dmd compiler point of view, should I use the abstract
class version (so I guess that for each method call, there
will be a few MOV, in order to extract the relative address
from the vmt before a CALL) or the interface version (are the
CALL directly performed in this case). Are interface faster ?
(to get the address used by the CALL).
Thx.
I doubt that looking from buggy compiler POV is a good idea.
Anyway you can take code and look into assembly.
Which is exactly what you could have done before answering ;)
