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. - Jonathan M Davis
