This claim isn't right.  Any class (or struct) that has at least
one virtual function will have a virtual function table.  The
existence of a virtual function table does not depend on whether
the class/struct has overloaded functions or whether inheritance
is present.

Note that these comments apply to class/struct definitions, not
to instances thereof.  Each instance of a class or struct that
has virtual functions will have a pointer to the appropriate
virtual function table (with the understanding that such pointers
may be shared when inheritance is present, and may have more
complicated relationships when multiple inheritance is used).
