I'm looking into how we can improve devirtualization in clang, and there a language in C++ feature I'd like to take advantage of which would let us perform elimination of more vptr loads. In this code: Cls *p = new Cls; p->virtual_method1(); p->method_changing_vptr(); // uses placement new to legally change the vptr p->virtual_method2(); // invalid! Cls *q = p;
