  20
  21    <p>&lt;&lt; the examples that follow are based on a01.C &gt;&gt;
  22
  23    <p>C++ adds two more builtin types to the set defined for C.  These are
  24 the unknown type and the vtable record type.  The unknown type, type
  25 16, is defined in terms of itself like the void type.
  26
  27    <p>The vtable record type, type 17, is defined as a structure type and
  28 then as a structure tag.  The structure has four fields: delta, index,
  29 pfn, and delta2.  pfn is the function pointer.
  30
  31    <p>&lt;&lt; In boilerplate $vtbl_ptr_type, what are the fields delta,
  32 index, and delta2 used for? &gt;&gt;
  33
  34    <p>This basic type is present in all C++ programs even if there are no
  35 virtual methods defined.
