动态绑定的关键

In C++, dynamic binding happens when a virtual function is called through a reference (or a pointer) to a base class. The fact that a reference (or pointer) might refer to either a base- or a derived-class object is the key to dynamic binding. Calls to virtual functions made through a reference (or pointer) are resolved at run time: The function that is called is the one defined by the actual type of the object to which the reference (or pointer) refers.

 

在 C++ 中，通过基类的引用（或指针）调用虚函数时，发生动态绑定。引用（或指针）既可以指向基类对象也可以指向派生类对象，这一事实是动态绑定的关键。用引用（或指针）调用的虚函数在运行时确定，被调用的函数是引用（或指针）所指对象的实际类型所定义的。
