           Summary: "extern (C++) interface" and vtbl
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: niqbmozgvx mailinator.com


cpp_interface.html:
 a D interface with the attribute of extern (C++) will have a virtual function
 pointer table (vtbl[]) that exactly matches C++'s [...] in C++ the first
 entry points to the first virtual function.


extern (C++) interface A { void foo(); void bar(); }
A a = ...;

So calling a.foo() should call vtbl[0], instead D calls vtbl[1] as if it where
a normal D interface.

BTW this functionality of an interface, in which the slot 0 of the vtable[] is
NOT used by a ClassInfo pointer, is needed for a lot of interfaces in the
windows header files which are NOT derived from IUnknown. Mainly the whole
DirectX 10 part.
