12.8 Object Implementation
In a high-level object-oriented language like C++ or Delphi, it is quite possible to master the use of objects without really understanding how the machine implements them. One of the reasons for learning assembly language programming is to fully comprehend low-level implementation details so you can make educated decisions concerning the use of programming constructs like objects. Further, because assembly language allows you to poke around with data structures at a very low level, knowing how HLA implements objects can help you create certain algorithms that would not be possible without a detailed knowledge of object implementation. Therefore, this section and its corresponding subsections explain the low-level implementation ...
