To be precise, there are 2 problems here.
1) First one is as Rene described, virtual table problem. There is
no compiler independent way of solving this issue.
2) Inheriting compiled class from interpreter should work if you
do not override virtual function in interpreted class. Cint
supports this feature. However, because of operator new/delete
complication, doing this causes crash in ROOT/CINT. I do not
know why we can not resolve this.
