 The fields //size// indicates the size (in bytes) of an object of this type (without tag, see [[.:objects|Objects]]). For arrays the entry is //arrayComponentSize//, which is the size (in bytes) of one array element. The name of the class could be used for reflection. \\
-The entry //extensionLevel// gives the number of superclasses. The method table is discussed below. The type table (//baseClassTD[0]// up to //baseClassTD[extLevel]//) and interface type table (//interface ChkId1//, ...) is used for [[.:type_checking|Type Checking]]. The interface method table together with the //interfaceDelegateMethod// and //// serves to find the right interface method, see [[.:interfaces|Interfaces]]. \\

 The garbage collector has to know which instance fields are references. For this there is a field //instPtrOffset//. This field has a fixed offset within the type descriptor. From there you can reach a list with all reference fields (//nofInstPtr//, //instPtrOffset[0]//, ... ). \\
