Bug gcc 2.95.

[Thomas Geocaris]

I found the following behavior from gcc 2.95 on Solaris 2.7. When
inheriting an empty base
class with a static function, an extra word is added to the inherited
class. In the example below I expect the object size of class B to to
equal the size of class A (1 word). However, the compiler generates
sizeof(B) = 8 and sizeof(A) = 4.

#include <stdio.h>

class base
{
public:
    static void *operator new( size_t t )
    {
        void *p = 0;
        return p;
    }
};

class A
{
public:
    int a;
};

class B : public base
{
public:
    int b;
};

main()
{
    printf("%d\n", sizeof(base) );
    printf("%d\n", sizeof(A) );
    printf("%d\n", sizeof(B) );
}
