Two things here:
1. in the ctor of the baseclass, the dynamic type of the object is
'baseclass', so it is technically (and as far as virtual function calls
are concerned) not a derived object.
2. You might get some real advise if you described what you want to
accomplish in a C++ related newsgroup (comp.lang.c++.moderated). Also, I
don't see how this has anything to do with the GCC.
