dtable->class

[tullmann at facility.cs.utah.edu]

I've been browsing the Kaffe sources and I have a simple question for
anyone: Why is the class of an object stored in its dispatch table?
And, not, as I would expect, in the object itself?

(Look at kaffe/kaffevm/classMethod.h and include/java_lang_Object.h)

Just curious,

Pat
