FooClass/vtable (and other object-oriented structures) are often passed aro=
und
as void * (or parent types) on the public functions etc. However, the
implementation then cast the void/parent pointer to some concrete type, and
expect the structure to keep the same layout.

So any change in those OO structures is an ABI break, it would be nice to c=
atch
them.
