 the difference between a class and a struct is that class members are private by default, whereas struct members are public by default 结构和类的区别是:类成员默认是私有的,而结构成员默认是公有的.

如果使用默认参数的话,那么要么全部提供,或者按照从右至左的方式来提供.

a virtual destructor is not overridden when redefined in a derived class. Rather, it is extended: the lower-most destructor first invokes the destructor of its base class and only then, it is executed. 虚拟析构函数在继承类中是不能重写的,而仅仅是扩展,,虚拟析构函数只在底层析构函数激发基类析构函数的时候被执行,一般地在具有继承类层次的结构中,一般都要定义一个虚拟的析构函数,这样就能保证整个层次结构中的析构函数在适当的时候被调用.

一般地,都这样用,

virtual ~Interface() = 0; //pure virtual destructor declaration

Interface::~Interface()
{} //definition of a pure virtual destructor; should always be empty
Normally the purpose of a pure virtual function is to force descendant class to define an implementation in order to create an instance of it.而定义纯虚拟构造函数是为了让子类来定义一个实现,以便创建一个实例.
