title: C++ class empty class size 1 byte
body: <p>I am new to C++ and a found a peculiar feature in C++. I saw the size of an empty is 1 byte, I did some research and found out that is is done because every object must have a distinct address. But I want to know what is the content of that 1 byte that is placed. I know it does not hold the "this" pointer but is it a dummy byte or is there actually some content??? </p>
