Not always, but there are other conditions when a VMT is generated for objects,
just like in Delphi/TP: when a constructor or destructor exists. In general,
I'd also strongly recommend to treat them as opaque types, especially because
this VMT may be inserted in the middle of the object, and be subject to special
alignment requirements because of the target (regardless of the current
{$packrecords x} or packed setting).
