I don't like the idea of wasting a single byte. It all adds up you
see. Sometimes I may waste a byte or two though ;) but only when
it adds up to a better practice in other areas of the app or my
development process.
Perhaps you should read up on data alignment (such as this
excellent article by a friend of mine: <http://www-128.ibm.com/
developerworks/library/pa-dalign/>) .
I know all about alignment and most other computer fundamentals,
thank you.
While I don't recall what our current data alignment strategies are
for subclassing, it certainly would not be good to rely on any
current behaviors because they may change.
Just as I predicted you'd say :)
