如果我们想通过基类的指针去释放子类的对象(这里必须是new出来的对象),就需要基类将基类的虚函数设置为virtual,看下面的例子:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class Parent
{
private:
int m_a;
public:
Parent(int a = 0)
{
this->m_a = a;
}
~Parent()
{
cout<<"parent destructor"<<endl;
}
};
class Child:public Parent
{
private:
int m_c;
public:
Child(int c = 0)
{
this->m_c = c;
}
~Child()
{
cout<<"child destructor"<<endl;
}
};
void del(Parent *base)//基类指针
{
delete base;
}
void main()
{
Parent *p_a = new Parent;
Child *c_a = new Child;
del(p_a);
del(c_a);
system("pause");
}
发现在调用del函数进行空间释放的时候,当传入子类的对象时候,子类的对象的析构函数并没有调用。要想通过基类的指针释放通过子类对象,必须将父类(基类的)的析构函数设置为virtual。如下:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class Parent
{
private:
int m_a;
public:
Parent(int a = 0)
{
this->m_a = a;
}
virtual ~Parent()
{
cout<<"parent destructor"<<endl;
}
};
class Child:public Parent
{
private:
int m_c;
public:
Child(int c = 0)
{
this->m_c = c;
}
~Child()
{
cout<<"child destructor"<<endl;
}
};
void del(Parent *base)//基类指针
{
delete base;
}
void main()
{
Parent *p_a = new Parent;
Child *c_a = new Child;
del(p_a);
del(c_a);
system("pause");
}
