The object representation of an object of nonzero size nested within an object `o` is guaranteed to appear in the object representation of `o`.But where the object representation of a zero size base class subobject of `o` will appear?You seem to guarantee that it, despite having zero size, still has sizeof(T) ≠ 0 elements.And what do you mean by "APPEAR in the object representation of `o`"?"Appear" means that the object representation of an object `a` nested within an object `b` shares *the same* `unsigned char` objects or there are two *different* sets of `unsigned char` objects in the region of storage occupied by both `a` and `b`?-- Std-Proposals mailing listStd-Proposals_at_[hidden]://lists.isocpp.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/std-proposals
