The way C++ compilers work is to pass a hidden "this" argument to member functions. The indirection you mention is being done exactly the same way as it would be in C, it's just syntactically implied by the language. That's why moving "normal" functions (no this pointer) to member functions gives you a performance hit. -Tom
