In page 44 onwards, this describes how to do class-based OOP with assembly language extensions to generate vtable calls. I wonder who ever used that…
This helped to understand how OOP was working under the hood (I was a teen at that time)
This post brings me many memories from Turbo Vision, Borland Graphics Interface, a simple assembly language, the flat memory hack, Turbo Pascal with its super fast compile time...
When I was a teen, I used TA precisely because of oop support :) it was a bit cumberstone compared to higher level languages, but worked quite well for the kind of stuff I needed (mostly display-related and IO libraries)
We used it for the kicks at the Uni. Never got to try that in prod because frankly the next time it came to using assembler it was 15 years later (and on another arch).
