AlliedModders - hook virtual destructor

I have done some disassembly, and according to
http://www.openrce.org/articles/full_view/23,
MSVC places a "scalar deleting destructor function" into the vtable instead of the destructor.
It has this prototype:

Code:

   virtual void * A::'scalar deleting destructor'(uint flags) {

      ...

   }

This means that you have to hook with

Code:

SH_DECL_MANUALHOOK1_void(TestClass_Vdtor, 0, 0, 0, unsigned int);



// ...

void VdtorHandler(unsigned int flags) {

   void *thisptr = META_IFACEPTR(void);

   // ...

   // Destructor called on thisptr

}



int main() {

        // ...

        SH_MANUALHOOK_RECONFIGURE(TestClass_Vdtor, vtblidx, 0, 0);

        SH_ADD_MANUALHOOK(TestClass_Vdtor, p, SH_STATIC(VdtorHandler), false);

}

Works for me at least, though I don't know if there are cases where it doesn't do this. You can ignore the flags parameter.

I don't know what GCC does for now, I'll look at that over the weekend :)

EDIT:
1) As BAIL says, the destructor really has to be virtual!
2) I'd like to strongly suggest against superceding the original destructor call.
