Hi,

I have to transmit different c++ class-instantiations over stream-channels.
The classes are derived from a base-class containing a type-identifier
to determine the size of the class-instantiation. This type-identifier
must be transmitted first to ensure correct reception of the transmitted
data.

Therefore my question:

Does the c++ standard determine how data members are stored in memory??

Thanks in advance!
