Hello,
Statement : A *a = new B;
gets translated in GIMPLE as
1. void * D.2805;
2. struct A * a;
3. D.2805 = operator new (20);
4. a = D.2805;
A is the base class and B is the derived class.
In statement 3, new operator is creating an object of derived class B.
By analyzing the RHS of the assignment statement 3, how can we identify
the type (in this case B) of the object being created?
Regards,
Swati
