most-specific common base class is <tt>Instruction</tt>, which includes lots of

class called <a

It is essentially a wrapper around an <tt>Instruction</tt> pointer, with some

<p>Frequently, we might have an instance of the <a

before <tt>*pi</tt>, we do the following: </p>

+

+
+ <p>becomes: </p>
